For some reason, it took me so long to get into this book! I LOVED The Charm Offensive, so I was hopeful going into this one. It just didn't hit for me the way Alison's first book did. And that's okay! Not every book is meant for every person. 

I will say that after finishing it and sitting with it for a while, I do see how fun and cute it was. It's a great holiday read and maybe starting it in June was just not the right call!

This was delightful. I really enjoyed the story and the writing, and all the Taylor Swift mentions.

Ugh my heart. I really enjoyed this read. The anxiety rep was so good (in my opinion), the therapy aspects at the end I enjoyed, the familial relationships of the Kim-Prescotts I enjoyed, the details, the story snippets, the air stream, and the bakery. I think my biggest meh thing about this book is that I didn’t necessarily vibe with the two main characters at times? And I didn’t feel their connection as well as I have for other romance books. But overall I liked the story, the growth, and the delicious christmassy queerness of it all.

Adorably sweet, this book follows Ellie as she attempts to work through all the fears she has that keep her from truly living. The characters are lovable and interesting, especially the grandmothers. This book would make a fantastic movie so I really need Netflix to get on it, like yesterday.

Like Last Christmas by Wham!, but add some wild family dynamics and a relatable main character (and lots of Taylor Swift references).

It's not The Charm Offensive, but it's also not trying to be, so that's okay. I really liked it!!

Loved the book, hated the infidelity and cheating. It was wrong and really messy. 
The ADHD rep was great and really casual, the anxiety woven though the whole story. 
The messaging of this book was just really nice and the new/found family aspect really wholesome. But the cheating knocked a star off for me...
