3.0

This was so promising but ultimately it fell flat and I DNF-ed it halfway through. It's a collection of VERY short stories that follow a wide variety of people and take place during several Winter holidays, but due to the length of them (at most a couple of pages) I just didn't feel any connection to them and/or felt a bit lost as to what was going on. I might try this again next year as a story a day like an advent calendar, as Rachel Sharp says it was originally meant as in the introduction.

Read for the 12 Days of Queermas Readathon!
