What Happens at Christmas

TWO ½ Stars
Although the MCs in this short are post-college and already in the workforce (one is) it very much felt like an NA to me and that's one genre I tread lightly. In any case this was a sweet friends-to-lovers story for Justin & Sean friends since childhood who had “fancied” each other since their teens but had never let each other know in spite of being BFFs mainly because Justin came out young but not so Sean.

Fast forward and Sean is returning home after doing some traveling and is staying with Justin for a few days. Justin has broken up with a cheating ex and needs a date to the office Christmas party. Sean volunteers to pose as his new boyfriend and .... we all know what happens.

I guess I wasn't convinced that there was a real lasting passion in these two. It felt more like “lads” scratching an itch and it does seem fun but as far as a HEA I'd have to see more of them in adult form to believe it.

Something to read if you have a couple of hours to kill and don't want to engage your brain much. I quickly forgot the name of both MCs because they had zero personality traits to make them memorable.
