This book has cemented Alison Cochrun as one of my favorite romance authors, and authors in general. She has an amazing ability to weave beautiful queer love stories and quirky humor with frank and relatable discussions of mental health. Readers will feel like they themselves spent the holidays with the characters, each one unique and interesting, and will ultimately leave feeling warm, fuzzy, and cozy.

But after a betrayal the next morning and the loss of her job soon after, she finds herself adrift, alone, and desperate for money. Finding work at a local coffee shop, she's just getting through the days--until Andrew, the shop's landlord, proposes a shocking, drunken plan: a marriage of convenience that will give him his recent inheritance and alleviate Ellie's financial woes and isolation. They make a plan to spend the holidays together at his family cabin to keep up the ruse.
