Christmas Kitsch by Amy Lane
4.0
If you're looking for a Christmas romance that's not the typical over the top fluffy read, then you should give Christmas Kitsch a try.
We follow Rusty as he begins to realise that he's attracted to guys, specifically Oliver. The term Oliversexual was used; which was a bit cringe but I'll allow it because they're so cute together.
A big part of the story are Rusty's parents, the pressure they put on him and the negative effect that has on him as that's not who he is or who he wants to be. He goes to college, he doesn't want to be at and has a breakdown from the stress, but they still kick him out for being gay. It was so good to see Rusty break out from their clutches.
One of my favourite parts of the story are Oliver's family. They're so loving and accepting; the complete opposite of Rusty's parents. It made me so happy to see how they welcomed Rusty into their family.
I was hoping that Rusty's college roommate Rex got his own book, but it doesn't look like he did. This book did come out in 2013 , however it's still not too late to write his story [a:Amy Lane|151973|Amy Lane|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1429039455p2/151973.jpg]!
