Cute story that had such a fun vibe of a Christmas movie in a fun way. I enjoyed the excerpts from the fake movie as well as the POVs from Ellie and Mariah. The ladies were dealing with a lot of insecurities and it came out in funny ways as they pulled pranks. Overall, it was a fun and quick paced story.

I’m sorry just absolutely not. The Oscar Issac thing was just so stupid I couldn’t do it.

The story is far too twee and saccharine for me, the pacing is insanely breakneck, and the characters lack any sort of substance. So very much like any other run-of-the-mill white sapphic romance.

Thank you Canary Street Press and Harlequin Audio for access to the e-ARC and ALC in exchange for an honest review.
I thought this was such a cute, fast-passed book! I loved how the author styled it with acts from the movie in-between each chapter. I also believe the narrators did fantastic and really helped elevate the story. While I wouldn't say Mariah and Ellie had an insta-love, their relationship was quick to develop. I honestly feel like it still went well with the pace of the story. And listening to them overcome their insecurities while also having some shenanigans was truly so special while also hilarious. Overall I definitely recommend this book, especially the audiobook!
