I'm not sure how I ended up reading a Christmas romance in February, but I'm glad I did! This is now one of my new favorite romances.

The angst level due to miscommunication is low and short-lived, so I could reread this without anxiety. The friendship between Luka and Stella is lovely and believable. The author doesn't just say “friends to lovers” and leave it at that. We get slow peeks into their decade of friendship and we understand Stella's fear of abandonment that has caused her to deny her love for Luka. I love love love their relationship and all the side characters and the small town this is set in.“And isn't it silly to love the way someone's things look like next to yours? Little bits and pieces of lives in parallel.”“I recognize the sadness in her words, the loneliness of remembering someone all by yourself.”“I like the sound of her settling against me.”
