There's nothing about this book that I'd recommend unfortunately because the idea of a fun rom-com during Christmas in July sounds like everything I would enjoy. However the writing was bad, bland, and offensive. It also felt very dated. From the pop culture references, to hearing multiple times that capris were cute...
I believe Millie was plus size, but it was only mentioned once. So not only did it feel fake but she was not body positive at all. Corbin was ok, even though he said some really stupid things like watching chick flicks made him sappy or he was afraid he'd lose his man card (not a direct quote but that basically what he said). It just felt tired and dated honestly. Then about half way through it became super Christian based which a choice to say the least, but didn't measure up against Millie constantly calling other woman sluts, and such.
To top it all off the "Crazy" terminology rubbed me the wrong way and there was nothing Christmas-y about this story at all.
