Why read it?
1 author picked It's A Fabulous Life as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book was like drinking a hot chocolate with marshmallows on a cold winter day.
I swoon over sweet stories and second-chance romances. And, any time you take an original story (especially a Christmas-ish story) and add in a drag queen instead of an angel, it becomes magic, right?
I’m also a huge sucker for dogs being in a book. The writing was cute and snappy, the feel-good story I was craving, and I left this book with a spring in my step.
From Dana's list on The best swoony, sapphic RomComs.
