Cute and fun holiday romance! Loved the Schitt’s Creek vibes and really enjoyed getting to have a classic holiday rom-com with lots of queer folks in the lead. No other thoughts— nothing groundbreaking, just a good time and a perfect holiday read. Points removed for the overuse of the word dude, though. 

Actually! One additional thought: This kind of felt like what Paris Daillencourt could have been like or  wanted to be. They both feature rich gay leads with absent parents and anxiety disorders, but Matthew Prince dealt with it in a much better way and much stronger writing.
