My thoughts:
I will read Christmas anytime of the year- so when I saw this new release- I immediately added it to my list. As a novella- I thought it would be a great “in between” book.
I thought this was a cute short story. It felt like I was reading a few chapters in the middle of a full length novel. These characters are in the middle of their own journey and we just see a snapshot of it. We don’t get a build up or a development. We’re just thrown in the middle. With that said- I wish this was a full novel! Because I do think I’d enjoy these characters if I knew more about them and their backstories.
I didn’t realize that this novella is a companion book to Best Friends, Backups, and Something More. I haven’t read that book so I did feel a little bit lost on all the side characters and backstories. It felt like I should know who they were - so I do think you should read that for this novella to make more sense. This might be my fault though- not knowing I should read that book first.
