“I kissed you because I knew it wouldn’t hurt.” 😭 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I knew if anyone could do a holiday romance I’d love, it’s Talia Hibbert — and she delivered Wrapped Up in You! Will and Abigail are childhood best friends fighting feelings as they reunite for a family gathering at Abby’s grandmother’s house in Scotland. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I squealed when I realized it had plus sized tall girl rep, and again when I realized that Abby embroiders! I adored the prickly girl and sunshine boy dynamics and appreciated the mental health rep and the acknowledgment that holidays can bring up tough emotions and memories (the novella still remains lighthearted overall). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My only complaint is that it wasn’t long enough! I would gladly have read a full length novel about these dorks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ CW: domestic abuse, anxiety, sexual content ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ID: I’m holding a kindle displaying the ebook cover of Wrapped Up in You. A small silver Christmas tree is on a white shelf in the background. via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/CXoCjNxroCG/
