If I could give this book 1,000 stars, I absolutely would.

I knew from the moment I read the dedication that I was going to fall in love with this book:

“If anyone has ever tried to gaslight you into thinking you’re the problem, congratulations! This book is for you.”

Reading this feels like sitting by a warm fire, drinking hot cocoa with extra marshmallows. It feels like coming home, kicking off uncomfortable shoes, and slipping into sweatpants. It honestly feels like a warm hug.

I laughed, I cried, and I was perched on the edge of my seat. The banter, the emotional connections, the mystery and the oddball set of characters. Everything was perfect.

In the very beginning, you can already tell there is a dynamic history between Maggie and Ethan, and that their humor is going to be composed of banter and bickering. But with the way they feed off of each other, you can start to get a sense of an underlying connection.

And what a connection they share. The eventual support and care Ethan shows for Maggie is admirable. The way he champions for her always, encourages her, and honestly just wants to see her shine, is beautiful. Everyone deserves that kind of love and support. And the growth Maggie shows by learning to trust not only herself, but eventually Ethan? It is just an all around heartwarming novel.

Aside from, you know, the fact that it is a locked door murder/disappearance mystery. But it’s still Christmasy and cozy; even when our main characters are being hunted down.

I recommend this book with all of my heart and soul to anyone and everyone. But if you want particulars, this book has:
