Early January for me means frantically trying to read any last minute “Christmas” themed books I didn’t get to in December. While this isn’t actually Christmas themed, the events in this book lead up to a Christmas Eve event and I’m glad I read this in winter. It’s a cute and quick rom-com and I loved it!

A Holly Jolly Ever After is a companion novel to A Merry Little Meet Cute – while it’s not necessary to read Merry Little first, I would highly recommend it as this book spoils what happens in that one, since it takes place afterwards, but following different characters!

Snow Place Like LA takes place after A Merry Little Meet Cute, but this can be read as a standalone if you want! (Although I highly recommend Merry Little Meet Cute!) This is a short and spicy novella that I read in a day!
