A super cute read! I enjoyed it for the most part, but it did start to get a little repetitive in parts. The characters were well developed and fun to read. I’m not really the biggest fan of lines like, “can I fuck you?” It kind of puts me off from a story and that was the only thing that really bothered me. Overall a solid read.

This was a great fake dating rom com with some expected and unexpected twists! I The main couples were lovely together and I appreciated that some tougher topics were handled with a lot of sensitivity. The plot didn't rely too much on miscommunication tropes, which could have been frustrating, there was just enough that it felt natural and created some tension.

Literally a great sapphic hallmark Christmas novel. Although it was not as engaging as her previous book, I still enjoy Alison Cochruns writing and how she writes about love and relationships.
