Like Last Christmas by Wham!, but add some wild family dynamics and a relatable main character (and lots of Taylor Swift references).

It's not The Charm Offensive, but it's also not trying to be, so that's okay. I really liked it!!

Loved the book, hated the infidelity and cheating. It was wrong and really messy. 
The ADHD rep was great and really casual, the anxiety woven though the whole story. 
The messaging of this book was just really nice and the new/found family aspect really wholesome. But the cheating knocked a star off for me...

It’s a sign of a well written book when even though you know what’s about to happen, you are so engrossed in the story that it doesn’t much matter. Steering into fake dating, love triangle (i mean trapezoid), only one bed, tropes could have easily crashed and burned. instead the characters shine. the lead characters grow and their flaws are addressed frankly and honestly in a way many romance focused books don’t. Parts of this book were too saccharine and could have been more critical of tropes, but I enjoyed Alison’s writing so much!

This was just increadibly sweet and fun. If I think about it for a while, I can find the flaws, but I just don't care. I loved this book. Ellie is relatable and understandably flawed, and the rest of the characters are just as interesting. I was invested in the silly and honestly unbelievable drama, and I just had a lot of fun.
