Synopsis

Buzzfeed’s Most Anticipated LGBTQ Romances of 2022
 
Miriam Blum has no choice but to face the past she thought she’d left behind when she inherits her great-aunt’s Christmas tree farm in this witty, glittering, heart-filled romcom with “all of the warm, queer, Jewish holiday vibes you could possibly want” (Jen DeLuca, USA Today bestselling author of Well Matched)
 
“A warm, cozy holiday romance . . . a vibrant exploration of embracing that which is most unexpected in life . . . and in love. Best read under the glow of rainbow twinkle lights with a cup of cocoa.”
—Ashley Herring Blake, author of Delilah Green Doesn’t Care

Thanks to her thriving art career, Miriam Blum finally has her decoupaged glitter ducks in a row—until devastating news forces her to a very unwanted family reunion. Her beloved great-aunt Cass has passed and left Miriam part-owner of Carrigan’s, her (ironically) Jewish-run Christmas tree farm.
 
But Miriam’s plans to sit shiva, avoid her parents, then put Carrigan’s in her rearview mirror are spoiled when she learns the business is at risk of going under. To have any chance at turning things around, she’ll need to work with the farm’s grumpy manager—as long as the attraction sparking between them doesn’t set all their trees on fire first.
 
Noelle Northwood wants Miriam Blum gone—even if her ingenious ideas and sensitive soul keep showing Noelle there’s more to Cass’s niece than meets the eye. But saving Carrigan’s requires trust, love, and risking it all—for the chance to make their wildest dreams come true.

I received this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. ARC provided by Forever. Miriam Blum has been estranged from her parents (and by extension cousins and childhood friends) for over a decade.

Goodreads review by Lydia on November 22, 2022

Clearly I read a different book to everyone else - no character depth / development - every main event has a bunch of buildup and then it fizzles out after 1 page - literally no chemistry between the two protagonists - far too many characters who mostly felt interchangeable - it took forever to read and......more

Goodreads review by Landice on December 13, 2022

I don’t even know where to start with this one, and I don’t expect to be able to fully articulate what it meant to me, but I’m going to try. Season of Love felt like the book of my heart. I felt seen in a way I haven’t felt seen in a book since I read my all time favorite book, Honey Girl, in 2020.......more

Goodreads review by Bethany (Beautifully Bookish Bethany) on January 28, 2023

Season of Love is a delightfully cozy sapphic holiday romance between a Jewish woman who had been estranged from her family, and the manager of the Christmas tree farm that her quirky great aunt owned. And bequeathed to both of them, and two other people as well. It's a heartwarming story about find......more


Quotes

“[This] love story is by turns heartbreaking and delightful.”—Library Journal

 “SEASON OF LOVE uses the magic of the holidays to do what romance novels do best: convince its main characters (and its readers) that the healing power of love is something every single person deserves. This heartwarming debut has everything you want in a holiday romance—and I can't wait to recommend it to my friends.”  —Therese Beharrie, author of And They All Lived Happily Ever After

Greer's writing is vibrant and she handles grief and complicated family dynamics with tenderness, treating her characters with the utmost care and affection. Readers will be absolutely smitten with Noelle and Miriam!”
 —Alexandria Bellefleur, bestselling author of Count Your Lucky Stars

“A warm, cozy holiday romance, SEASON OF LOVE is a vibrant exploration of embracing that which is most unexpected in life . . . and in love. Best read under the glow of rainbow twinkle lights and a cup of cocoa.” —Ashley Herring Blake, author of Delilah Green Doesn’t Care

"Stepping into this book is like stepping into an eccentric winter wonderland—exactly the kind of holiday escapism I crave. Come to Carrigan’s for the loveable cast of kooky characters, but stay for the meaningful reflections on grief, family relationships, and identity. At turns a holiday confection and a deep character study, SEASON OF LOVE filled my heart. I can't wait to visit Carrigan’s again and again!”—Alison Cochrun, author of The Charm Offensive

“If you need the cozy feel of a Hallmark holiday movie in book form, visit Carrigan's! SEASON OF LOVE has all of the warm, queer, Jewish holiday vibes you could possibly want. It's a cup of cocoa with the perfect amount of marshmallows, it's a sweet kiss under the mistletoe. Helena Greer creates characters and settings that I never want to leave behind.”—Jen DeLuca, USA Today bestselling author of Well Matched

 “Greer has crafted an idyllic setting I want to whisk away to for Christmas (but then stay all year) and a charming cast of characters I want to befriend. Readers are going to lament that Carrigan's isn't a real destination they can jet off to.”—Sarah Hogle, author of Just Like Magic

“Satire and romantic holiday magic in equal measure, SEASON OF LOVE is a sly, big-hearted book that will have you laughing even as it makes your heart grow three sizes.”—Jenny Holiday, USA Today bestselling author of Duke, Actually

“A heartwarming and inspiring story about letting go of the past to find your joy and being open to love.”—Abby Jimenez, New York Times bestselling author of Part of Your World

“One of the most unique and uniquely queer things I've ever read, SEASON OF LOVE is more a place than a book: Carrigan's Christmasland's heart beats just as strongly in these pages as all of its loving, messy, large cast of characters, all of whom are looking for home in their own ways, even if they're already there. By the last page, readers will feel as if they're part of this special family, too.” —Anita Kelly, author of Love & Other Disasters
