3.0

I found this book cute but cliche. Of course I knew that it was just a sapphic holiday romcom going into it and it delivered on that front. I just felt that very little of it was original and the plot felt overused. I also didn't particularly like the writing style, switching between Elle and Darcy's POVs without any rhyme or reason with no indication other then context clues. I thought the romance was cute and I like each characters little charms and quirks. It felt very millennial with the jokes about Harry Potter and the way the texts were written. I don't particularly like a lot of pop culture references so a lot of the jokes fell flat. Overall a fun light read if that's what you're looking for.

Note: Why do so many sapphic books directly identify characters as bi, pan, etc. but never lesbian?? As a lesbian this is very disheartening.
