This fictional couple’s made me believe in the idea of true love. They embodied the ideal partnership and I love that for them!

I also loved the random Christmas movie and song references (a forte of mine) and how Lauren put Asa’s dad in his place!

Asa is my chaotic soft bi king and I would die for him!!!

Also I loved this book. There were so many tropes (although there were also several cliches that usually make me mad, but I liked this book so I much I mostly overlooked them)

This is a great example of a romance that does MORE. It handles some pretty heavy, real stuff, but does it well. I liked Asa and Lauren and was rooting for them all along the way

Took me less than 24 hours to read this whole book because I couldn’t put it down and I didn’t want to. Loved it. 💕

Some people might not like a main character that spends a lot of her life isolating herself as w form of self-preservation, but I live for it. Lauren hasn't had an easy life, and she protects her heart/soul through whatever means she can. But, she also is out there trying things to make the world better. YES MA'AM YOU GO GIRL.
Asa is a quirky co-worker who she's "competing" against, but who also lives with her best friend. 

Lauren and Asa get to know each other more and more and wouldn't you know...they're kinda the best balance of each other. Asa and his housemates show Lauren just what she can have when she opens herself up just a little. 

I loved this cute little story, and I loved that it was set in a literal Christmas Attraction in FL. How fun.
