Okay, so the first Christmas romance I read this year was a novella, and then I picked up this one by the same author, and it's a novel, and man. I think it's just trying to be too much? The pace of the book is off, and the two big things that both characters are struggling with are both too slight and too significant to be dealt with in a book this size, and idk. Jeremy is a freshman in college who's been somewhat disowned by his family for coming out as gay, he's socially awkward, and he's never even kissed a guy. Max is a popular senior who plays football and is openly queer and confident, and they have a meet cute and then Max offers to be his no strings friends with benefits. Would you believe that feelings happen? Then Max invites him home for Christmas, and there are plot obstacles and a poor dude who gets in the middle and idk, it just doesn't quite work the way I wanted it to. Not a bad read, just not as good as other books by this same author.
Grade: C
