Fun Christmas mystery rom-com

Ally Carter, you've done it again. Please keep writing books--I will keep reading them. I had so much fun reading this book and could have easily finished it within a few days of starting. Two things prevented me, and neither of them had anything to do with the book itself. First, the two weeks I read this book were ridiculously busy, leaving me little time to just sit and indulge in it. Second, this was a buddy read with my husband, so we'd read to a certain chapter and then wait for the other person to catch up before continuing. We both loved the book and enjoyed talking to each other about it. This book is a cozy Christmas mystery rom-com, which isn't something I've read before. And what a way to pull me into a new group of books! Can't go wrong with this one (or Ally Carter). I loved Maggie and Ethan, individually and together. Their wit and their banter throughout the book were entertaining but not unrealistic. They each had enough backstory for the reader to understand them but not necessarily predict them. I love the way Ethan supported Maggie and helped her build her confidence in herself. (Btw, my husband commented on this over and over, too.) They were both brilliant. There are only two things I wanted to have explained but weren't: 1) The escape from the locked room. 2) All the texts Ethen got during their flight. I’m fairly certain I know the answer, but the problem is that the number of people doesn’t add up. Note: A little bit of swearing.
