Cute holiday friends to lovers story told over the 8 days of Hanukkah with time jumps between each day. An unusual way to structure a story but it worked for me. I also liked the way the story was told by Mccabe as though he's recounting the story of how he got his HEA with Josh, so he would make funny comments about the often stupid choices he made. Another good story from Cardeno C!Also, an observation: this is the fifth Hanukkah story I've read since I started reading m/m romances about a year and a half ago. I read m/f romance for 20 years and I don't think I ever read one! Maccabe and josh have been best of friends since childhood , one day it lead to more, josh wanted to come out and stop hiding but maccabe didn't . Both lose touch of each other. A misunderstanding Along the way happens. But there is still hope.Several years past and each time it hurt to read I was heartbroken just as much as josh. But will maccabe mend an broken heart as well as heals his.
Funny, sweet, and beautiful... made me feel good and warm...
