I just finished this delightful christmas book with a character who remnds me of Schitt's Creek David Rose, Matthew suffers from anxiety and is relatable because of that. You can purchase this book here on Amazon, Waterstones, Barnes and Noble.
Synopsis:
Matthew Prince is young, rich, and thoroughly spoiled. So what if his parents barely remember he exists and the press is totally obsessed with him? He's on top of the world. But one major PR misstep later, he's cut off and shipped away to spend the holidays in his grandparents' charming small-town hellscape. Population: who cares?
It's bad enough that he's stuck in some festive winter wonderland—it's even worse that he has to share space with Hector Martinez, an obnoxiously attractive local who's unimpressed with anything and everything Matthew does.
Just when it looks like the holiday season is bringing nothing but heated squabbles, the charity gala loses its coordinator, and Matthew steps in as a saintly act to get home early on good behavior...with Hector as his maddening plus-one. But even a Grinch can't resist the unexpected joy of found family, and in the end, the forced proximity and infectious holiday cheer might be enough to make a lonely Prince's heart grow three sizes this year.
My review:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
LGBTQ
When Matthew Prince makes a financial Faux pas he gets sent to his grandparents in a small town called Wind River. Upon getting there he discovers he has an annoying room mate. Just when everything seems lost Matthew is asked to step in as an event coordinator, the catch is his roommate is his party planner partner...
Firstly this book covers some pretty heavy topics like anxiety, but does so in such a sensitive way.
I loved the character growth, how Matthew started out selfish, self centered, image obsessed but grew into himself while simultaneously rediscovering his awe-filled childhood self.
The side characters were pretty amazing too and very gracious and all round the amazing people Matthew needed in his life.
Hector perfectly balanced Matthew and guided him through some tough moments in such a caring and sensitive way.
All in all an enjoyable book with lovely characters (although they don't all start out that way). I loved the event planning aspects and the way Matthew talks himself through panic attacks, it's very reassuring but also relatable.
Thank you to @netgalley and @sourcebookscasa for the arc copy in exchange for my honest opinions.
