The Perfect Gift is a cute, fluffy short story about Charley and Ezra, both lawyers who work at the same company. It’s told in first person from both characters’ povs.

The blurb does a good job of describing the plot so I won’t go into that. The plot moves pretty quickly because this is a short story and I wish it had played out a bit longer.

The author did a good job of creating likeable characters. But because it is a short story, I don’t feel like enough information was given about Ezra for me to connect to him. Ezra doesn’t have a great relationship with his parents, and despite Charley having a great relationship with his loving family, he’s very insecure and apologizes often. More length to this plot would help explain about the characters so I could have felt more connection.

The Perfect Gift has cute characters, a cute and fluffy plot with a HEA, but could’ve been longer for better effect. If you’re looking for a quick holiday read, I’d recommend this book. I give it, 4 Stars.
