The Holiday Trap by Roan Parrish
5.0
Final Thoughts:
This story made my heart so happy. The diverse cast of characters in New Orleans helped to juxtapose the small town in Maine. I appreciated that the characters in New Orleans had a variety of gender identities. So many different pronouns. I complete acceptance of it. None of it was “big deal.” Carys friends were introduced the same way. Without a pause for genders. The pronouns were used in the course of the story. Ex. “And this is Helen. They don’t usually throw things at guests.” Chapter 8 Each character was described with their race. I like seeing this. It’s a reminder that not every character is “default” white. While we primarily talk about the sexy parts of these books, I have to shout out the personal mental and emotional journeys that Greta and Truman go through. Self discovery of any kind isn’t easy. I think this was a great example of how to grow yourself in order to be capable of being a good partner.
