The beginning of this one I enjoyed. I love a fake dating trope. I just feel there was a little too much storyline here that felt unnecessary and the communication between the two main characters was frustrating. I liked the concept but overall this just fell short for me.
I didn’t love Sadie honestly. I just didn’t feel she really did love Max. I felt like this couple spent more time miscommunicating and not getting along, it almost didn’t even make sense to me why they, more specifically she, loved him.
They miscommunicated and had so many, yes let’s be together, to immediately something going wrong moments it was a whirlwind and made it feel forced to even have these two end up together.

More of a skim read. Because after the first 70 pages or so, I was so sick of goddamn "Saxie" that I just wanted it to end.

❌ Miscommunication Trope
❌ Self Absorbed MMC
❌ Uncommunicative FMC
Look, I can understand a miscommunication trope… once. Heck, even maybe twice. But these two MC’s do not know how to communicate. They may have raw chemistry but that’s about it.
This is a not-so-fun Christmas read that had me stressed the entire time!

The best part of the book was the fact that one of the main characters shared my birthday.

Overall, I enjoyed this book. There was fake dating and enemies to lovers, which I love. However, there was also miscommunication and the main couple acted pretty immature a lot of the times (especially the male lead who ran away every chapter). I understand they were both dealing with things, the miscommunication is a trope I rarely enjoy.

This book was a cutsey little fun predicable hallmarky Christmas read. In the middle there i was kinda like oh! we are going off script!! Then right back to cheesy town USA for the ending. BUT that was what I signed up for so it got the job done
