Book Review (more just a pile of my personal opinions from my personal experiences)

Title: Holiday Romance

Author: Catherine Walsh

Year: 2022

Genre: Romance, travel, Irish, Christmas

Queer shit: Nods to queer side characters

Vibe Check: this friends to lovers set over years of traveling home for the holidays just hit me right in the romantic feels, I loved it so much 

Pile of Opinions: I read this book digitally as an Advanced Readers Copy through NetGalley. I hoped for a cozy Hallmark Christmas vibes book with maybe a little steam and this did not disappoint. Friends to lovers over Christmas, sunshine and grumpy, and kooky families, I love it. This book had me laughing out loud at their banter and I loved the way they communicated. I get so annoyed when characters unrealistically keep secrets or do unbelievable things to keep the plot moving. This book had none of that and this felt like an adorable telling of a believable pair of pals falling in love. I am looking forward to reading this book again at Christmas time and I have added the author’s other books to my TBR.
