Popsugar challenge 2023 #7-Advanced: A book about a holiday that isn't Christmas.
4½ ⭐, rounded up
I am super not into astrology, so I had reservations, but I found the astrological references were not too heavyhanded.
The main character is human and relatable. And so was having a family dynamic that can bring out the worst in everyone. This book is definitely a comedy and I laughed through the whole book, but it also has a lot of poignant moments that brought tears to my eyes.
Very quick, fun read.
