i don't think the miscommunication trope really worked for a novel this short. but i did like the christmasy atmosphere!

maybe we should withdraw the right of free speech from certain people!! otherwise they'll write abominations like this book...

this book left me with a profound sense of existential dread. i did not expect any of this at all, & i have so many questions that i know will never be answered 😭😭

i kept skipping pages like maybe we’d get some character development. nope. just more heavy breathing.

i do love a cozy autumnal book but oh boy... 🍂 .° ꩜ the plot was so bland & logan should've found a therapist much MUCH earlier.

unfortunately i did not enjoy this as much as the prior books to this series. the novel felt so incomplete and disjointed & nothing substantial was happening, it made the plot practically nonexistent.

what the hell did i just read 😭 a whole book about an ass-shaking contest with the worst puns imaginable and somehow it was a closed door romance.
