Anita stages a Christmas intervention for Callie with a homemade Advent calendar challenge—cheerful tasks to push Callie out of her comfort zone and into the holiday spirit, inspired by a childhood tradition. Callie reluctantly plays along, but when she comes face-to-face with a charming baker who just might be the spoonful of sugar she needs, her strict rules on love and the holidays are tested. As they strike a deal to do the activities together, could the twenty four little doors on Callie’s Advent calendar not only open up one, but two closed-off hearts? (Pub Date: Oct 22, 2024)
Another charming romance by Holly Cassidy! Callie has just broken up and now lives with her sister. Her mother was the biggest shipper of her and her ex, whose family is also her neighbor, so Callie can't really go home this Christmas. She can barely get into the Christmas spirit. That's when her sister intervenes, giving her something like and Advent calendar that mixes gifts and dares that Callie must fulfill or she'll lose all the gifts. As we readers expect, the dares are great excuses for fun and romance.
This was a cute romance and the main couple had great chemistry. There was a moment that it wasn't so perfect, around climax, but I guess people aren't perfect, even when they're characters. Aside from that, perfect boyfriend!
Also, it takes place in a small town, so you get to live all those heartwarming moments from small towns. It's all perfect for the season, I was getting into Christmas along with Callie. Plus, the sisters. I loved their interactions! And the cat. Best. Character. And not for shortage of good characters.
This is a great romance if you want an early taste of the Holidays.
Honest review based on an ARC provided by Netgalley. Many thanks to the publisher for this opportunity.
