It’s our holiday special 🎄✨ This week on Genre’d, we’re diving into Holiday Ever After by Hannah Grace—a cozy, low-stakes holiday romance packed with small-town charm, forced proximity, grumpy/sunshine vibes, and just enough smut to keep things interesting.

Before we get into it, we do have some things to say: Hanukkah shout-outs, Goodreads goal confessions, audiobook chaos, and a brief detour into hockey romance discourse (as one does).

In the spoiler-free section, we break down the vibes, tropes, characters, and whether this Hallmark-coded romance hits or misses—plus an important discussion on wooden dolls, small business drama, and why fixing sinks is apparently very hot.

🎁 Spoiler warning: First ~20 minutes are spoiler-free. Full spoilers after.
❄️ Tropes & vibes: big city girl / small town boy, forced proximity, grumpy MMC, cozy Christmas setting, low angst
📚 Holiday rating: comforting, cute, and exactly what it promises to be

We’re off next week for the holidays, but we’ll be back in the New Year with our 2025 wrap-up. Until then—rate, review, subscribe… and remember: no genre shaming (unless it’s funny). 💚
