My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Cabin Crush is a well-made piece of unadulterated fluff. It’s unfrosted vanilla cake, a Hallmark movie of a romance novel, a chaste (almost absurdly chaste at times) friends-to-lovers story wrapped in Christmas tinsel and holly. Sparks fly when longtime friends Max and Rachel both are finally single at their families' Tahoe Christmas getaway. Tropes of the genre abound (she’s so quirky! Oops I saw his rippling abs!). Tragedy exists only on the peripheries of the narrative and our characters problems’ are swiftly solved by an Act III kiss. References to scripture feel shoehorned in and there’s a wholly extraneous afterword, but Cabin Crush is otherwise a solid and enjoyable sweet Christmas romance.
