There was a lot of covid/pandemic talk involved, but I loved being in the Fangirl world and loved Reagan’s banter & personality. The novella is also Christmas-themed, set in 20. I remembered the day after Christmas that Rainbow Rowell’s e-novella following Reagan from Fangirl is available for free. My favorite holiday read of the month was definitely Jean Meltzer’s Hanukkah inspired romance, The Matzah Ball. However, before Paige gets her happy ending in either destiny, she'll have to face the truth about her struggle with anxiety - and learn that you don't have to be "perfect" to deserve true love.I read a few holiday books this month, like Jenny Bayliss’ A Season for Second Chances (very cozy & cute) and Kara McDowell’s One Way or Another – this one is in my classroom library, and one of my students recently loved it, so I wanted to give it a read to). until her anxiety threatens to ruin everything. The other leads to the mountains where Paige might finally get her chance with Fitz. and the charms of her unexpected tour guide.

One path leads to New York where Paige falls for the city.


Just when it seems like Paige will crack from the pressure of choosing, fate steps in - in the form of a slippery grocery store floor - and Paige's life splits into two very different parallel paths. Should she go with her best friend (and longtime crush) Fitz to his family's romantic mountain cabin? Or should she accompany her mom to New York, a city Paige has spent her whole life dreaming about? That's why when Paige is presented with two last-minute options for Christmas vacation, she's paralyzed by indecision. What if she's destined to be a famous ceramicist but wastes her talent in drama club? What if there's a carbon monoxide leak in the ceramics studio and everyone drops dead? (Grim, but possible!) The simple act of picking an art elective is enough to send her into a spiral of what-ifs. That's about 34,999 too many for Paige Collins, who lives in debilitating fear of making the wrong choice. The average person makes 35,000 decisions every single day. Sliding Doors meets T o All the Boys I've Loved Before in a sweet, smart holiday romance about a girl who decides to stop letting her anxiety stand in the way of true love.
