My first DNF. I saw the synopsis & still fought through, hoping that the Christmas magic of it all would help me enjoy the book... and it didn't.

📖 REVIEW 📖

➕️The Christmas vibes and setting,exactly what I expect in a holiday rom-com
➕️ Premise sounded great, it had so much promise!
➕️ Myriad of characters

➖️ Felt like so much of the central relationship happened Ed off the page and we only got the spicy bits 
➖️ Title and cover, oh so misleading 
➖️ Highly repetitive and obvious, not relying on the reader to connect anything and laying it all bare
➖️ Shocking for the sake of being shocking 

⭐ Star rating 2/5

This book was really cute. It was less spicy than I expected it to be but the pacing was great and the spice was HOT. It was also very humorous which I love in a book. If it can have me smirking or giggling as well as falling for the characters, it’s a win.

The overall vibes of this book was too confusing. It was trying really hard to be cozy/Hallmark-y but at the same time it wasn’t. The female heroine wasn’t very likable. It seems like the authors tried very hard to make the hero likable(especially with his family backstory), but I found him also unpleasant.
 As a reader, I’ve come to realize that I don’t care for behind-the-scenes books. This could be books set in reality shows, cooking competitions, and now books about movies being made. It seems like storylines with these plot points are boring/ frustrating to me.

This is a cute read. I love how it does sprinkle in some social commentary, but of course the romance and charecter arcs are where it's at.
