✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ my thoughts ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEE!!!
Totally obsessed with this short story. This is the vibe I was wanting from the stories in the Under the Mistletoe collection.
I WISH this were a full-length book. I could read about Nola and Caleb all dayyyy. Their banter was witty and funny. Usually, in dual POV books, I favor one side over the other. But I was equally excited to read from each of their POV's when it switched between the two.
The idea and execution of the letters were such a fun addition and really built a strong storyline. And I also love how it implemented other loveable characters into their relationship!
Such a cute, quick, festive read. Especially if you need a good pick-me-up. For sure, going to have to dive into more Meghan Quinn books.

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ my thoughts ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ 5 books later, and there was FINALLY one that brought the Christmas spirit. Took y'all long enoughhhh omg.
This one was my second fav out of the series! I thought the writing was cute, MMC was great, and the recap of previous encounters tied it all together; it was good!
I'm so HAPPY to be done with this series though lmao. It knocked out 5 books for my reading goal but I did not enjoy myself most of the time. However, I will be looking into this author because I liked this one more than the rest.

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ my thoughts ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ One of the more enjoyable books in this series!! I finished it in one sitting right before bed, which is the first time I've done it with one of these books. Yayyyyy reading goal!
The only thing that was annoying was the weiner-mobile. I just couldn't get over it, LOL - like, are we serious? The beginning was a bit confusing, but it eventually improved, which I'm thankful for.
The characters were cute. I'm a fan of miscommunication tropes, so I was intrigued. I will say that it was a bit cheesy for the age range they were in, but it was also kind of cute seeing them kinda let their inner child come out while stuck in such a unique situation.
I wish it did have more of a Christmas vibe. I've noticed a trend with these short stories is that they usually don't bring that to the table. And if they do, it's a very minimal mention of the holiday. Overall, one of the better books in the series!
