Critics Review
“A Very Merry Detour is a sugary-sweet Hallmark movie in book form. Delightfully Christmassy and unabashedly queer, this book brought me so much joy! I would happily find myself stranded in Brooks for the holidays.”—Alison Cochrun, USA Today bestselling author of Every Step She Takes
“Every page sparkles with holiday magic. A Very Merry Detour is a reminder of everything that’s special about Christmas and a love story that shows what’s possible when we open our hearts and take a leap of faith.”—Rachel Wood, author of Annie Knows Everything
“The perfect holiday treat, with all the marshmallowy whimsy and comforting warmth of hot cocoa … It’s your favorite Hallmark movie with a bisexual twist.”—Susie Dumond, author of Bed and Breakup
“A beautiful love story that celebrates found family, second chances, and choosing a life that’s truly meant for you.”—Emily Zipps, author of Alice Rue Evades the Truth
“The welcoming small-town setting, supportive found family, and some sexy scenes balance the emotional moments around grief and rejection that give the story added depth… . Full of a grumpy/sunshine pair’s snowy adventures in an idyllic small town at Christmastime, Behr’s debut is a heartwarming holiday queer romance.”—Library Journal
“Debut author Behr shines in this well-crafted tale of queer love… . Behr does a first-rate job developing both Alaina and Priscilla into three-dimensional characters and making their crackling connection palpable. Meanwhile, the charming small-town camaraderie adds heart. Readers will hope for many more visits to Brooks.”—Publishers Weekly
