Read this for the lesbian subtext. was not disappointed. 

A little bit slow at times but I did love finding specific lines that made it into the stage version.

I really love Dunn’s writing style and I wanted to love this but I just struggle a lot with books where nothing much happens and that’s the best way to describe this one unfortunately.

omg this book was so cozy and cute while also keeping me super hooked on the plot. the romance was cheesy but i didn’t mind at all. felt like knives out + a hallmark christmas movie.
