People who follow me know how weak I am for Liv and Raisa, so when the author announced this short story would be about them I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. As always, Faber hits right in the feels with the cuteness and the tenderness. Her ability to make you *feel* the love between the characters is unmatched and Liv and Riz' grumpy/sunshine dynamic is always a delight to witness. I loved the holiday vibes, loved how hopelessly smitten Raisa is and how lovingly bratty Liv can get knowing she has her big, buff girlfriend wrapped around her little finger. She could literally get away with anything. was a lovely touch and it was beautiful to see her through Raisa's (heart) eyes this time around. I hope there will be more little missing scenes about my favorite couple. (so far? Hehe)
My favourite couple of this series and Christmas feels? It sit my birthday or something?
I melted seeing how free and spontaneous Liv has become, so different from the shy, fragile girl we met at the beginning of Pretty Devils. Her growth is beautiful and so real, like... this is what happens when you take somebody who's always been emotionally abused and repressed and give them to the right people: they bloom into their true self.
Riz is so smitten it's embarrassing, but we love her fot it! I also love that you let Liv win the reindeer herself, the symbolism is so good. :)
I'm looking forward to reading my Fioxie request. <3
The best line from Raisa “felt like she had a magpie for a girlfriend”. I laughed several times on every page, imagining Liv bouncing from place to place, dragging Raisa along as she rolled her eyes. Great addition. Enjoy!
The two characters are the perfect mix of sugar and sour. The author developed them in a way where I feel like I have grown to know them. Im excited for Out of the Blue and feel certain these two will have a cameo.
