This was cute, albeit not my favorite Hazelwood story.

With the story alternating between past and present, we only get quick glimpses into who they are now individually. The flashbacks did provide levity and context for their foundation. 

If you like “it’s always been you” with a heavy dose of man-obsessed, you will probably like the MMC. However, he’s a little too full-throttle in my opinion. (The phone background was a ~choice~) 

“𝙄 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙖𝙡𝙡. 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩. 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙄 𝙬𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙪𝙥. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙩𝙝𝙨 𝙄’𝙢 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙜𝙤 𝙩𝙤 . . . 𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝙙𝙖𝙮, 𝙄’𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙮𝙤𝙪.”

Overall, it was a quick and easy read! If you want a more holiday-centered story, I would look somewhere else.
