So very cringy, so far from a good holiday romance.

I wanted a sexy, fun little sapphic holiday book, and this just failed on multiple levels (it was sapphic, I'll give it that). First of all, as someone who skis, the teaching skiing details were just painful to read. Just not at all how you would teach a first timer, and I'm convinced this author has never hit the slopes. Also, I also think the main characters are sort of trash?? They aren't the best people, and their jokes and banter just never landed. I didn't find this story to be charming at all.

I actually DNFed this book at 82%, and you can't convince me that it improved much from there on out.

Clerberrr I’m confused why you have “Be kind” in your bio. It’s totally ok to say, the book isn’t for me. Or maybe consider reviewing on other parameters than Heather K’s life experience doesn’t relate to the characters or story, therefore I’m going to 2 star review something that someone worked hard to write, publish and promote. Be kinder Heather K. Not everyone lives in your head and some people quite enjoyed this book based on the average so maybe consider you’re the outlier. You didn’t even finish the book, yet reviewed it so harshly (not kind).
