All You Want for the Holidays by Quinton Li

Perrin Pavlou is finally accepted into the Sunlit Creative Space residency program after applying for every round to date. With promises of a luxury villa in a sunny beach town, artistic strangers to find companionship in, and a week to work on her photo collection dedicated to the residency's experience, she is ready to embrace her long-desired dream.

Until she finds out that her ex-best friend is the only resident she'll be spending the rest of the week and Christmas with.

Inari Kan wants to start doing things for themself. Their people-pleasing tendencies and high-masking high-functioning lifestyle means they're longing for a holiday to just relax, write, and be themself.

But how are they supposed to do that when they're spending almost every moment of their days with their high-school crush?

All You Want for the Holidays is a second-chance sapphic romance published as part of Home for the Holidays, a collection of standalone novellas connected by a singular theme: spreading queer joy during the holiday season. The collection features novellas by Jay Leigh, Quinton Li, Valerie Gomez, Anna Sparrows, Kerry Kilpatrick, Micah Carver, Arden Coutts, C.S. Autumn, E.L. Ough, Emily Axon, and Dallas Smith.
