I'm not yet back in "proper review mode" but I'd like to point you to my friend BJ's review with which I mostly agree.
"Mostly", because to me, this novel was slighly tiring to read - the plethora of issues Ellie, the primary protagonist, faces felt, at times, overwhelming (on the other hand, nothing felt outlandish). All I wanted was a cute, queer Christmas romance - but I kept returning to this novel much more quickly than to any other novel I've recently read.
This book, like Ellie and Jack, spoke to me, touched me emotionally, and created an unexpected sense of connection that I could not resist.
Also, parts of the writing felt as unintentionally messy as the story intentionally is. For that (and the utterly daft title) I have to substract one star.
