Happy New Year!
One of my favourite books of 2023 was Mistletoe and Mishigas by MA Wardell. So, my first read for 2024 was its predecessor. They're stand-alones, so the weird reading order really doesn't matter.
And OMG this book is so sweet. But also heart-racing.
Marvin is a Jewish man who has ADHD and anxiety. He's a kindergarten teacher and up for an award. Oh, and he's the child of an alcoholic parent. And a klutz. Phew! He's adorable, as Olan tells him often.
Olan is the single-parent, gorgeous black guy who throws Marvin into flibbety-floops. And he might just be gay for Marvin.
Five-year-old Ilona adds an endearing dynamic.
These two guys are super cute. But will their issues be the making or breaking of their relationship? There is a lot for them to navigate.
Will Gonzo be forever more the therapy kitty?
I loved how this was written, and the relationship dynamics. It certainly doesn't shy away from big issues, and they were handled with care. It's all quite 'real'.
The few steamy bits are HOT!
Sweet, angsty, steamy goodness.
