2,5 stars for this one.
The plot was great, the writing too, but the amount of nonsense was just too much at times and so annoying.
1) We have a 34-year-old man who has a roommate, the biggest walking red flag in my opinion.
2) The FMC’s best friend has a boyfriend but doesn’t tell about him to the FMC, what kind of friend does that? Then said friend gets engaged a few days later and everyone is shitting rainbows about it. It was so forced and unnecessary. They didn’t know each other so much, just sharing a p*rn account. But also, if this was my friend I wouldn’t be so thrilled about my bestie getting married to someone that she kept as a secret.
3) We are talking about grown-ass adults who start a friends-with-benefits relationship because “I need to teach you how a real man does it”, and once they catch feelings they aren’t able to communicate about said feelings. I expect a lack of communication in a teen couple, but not from a man nearly forty.
I also felt a little bit fooled about this because by the previews it seemed like there would be a lot more coincidences that put the MMCs together, but they found each other immediately and were forced together since the beginning.
Anyway, this is just my opinion, but I think the plot needed a bit more work than this.

4⭐️ this was such a cute holiday read! I’m usually not one for hallmark type books, but this was a SPICY rated R hallmark movie lol. I will say it could have maybe been like 50-100 pages shorter. I felt like it dragged a little bit and I wish they would just accept being together cuz it was a lot of back and forth. The “miscommunication” at like the 90% mark was just unnecessary tbh and seemed so out of character. However, this was one of the funnier romcoms I’ve read I was cracking up at their banter!
Frankie & Ophelia.
If you love a man with a mouth on him and funny banter this book is for you.
I was hooked from the cute meet cute & it only got better from there. I loved everything about this cute romcom, including all the side characters. Top notch banter & dialogues.

5 big blue butterfly stars! I hateeee that I put this one off for so long because I was waiting for the audiobook (and it’s a FANTASTIC PRODUCTION), but I’ll say it absolutely lives up to all the hype literally everyone is giving the book!
Ophelia immediately won me over by making fun of elf on the shelf. That’s it. That’s all it took and I was sold. And I also have to give credit to Karissa because I absolutely fell in love with the way she writes. Getting into Ophelia’s headspace was like a breath of fresh air and I felt like I could totally relate to her!
THEN enter Frankie. These two have SO MUCH CHEMISTRY. Like listen, the BANTER IS SO GOOD. They are so well matched, going toe to toe with the sass, sarcasm, banter, wit, seggs, and humor. They just worked so well!
This is a very smooth, easy read. There’s no massive bombshell plot twist dropped on us yet it’s constantly flowing and moving. I was never bored! Highly recommend this one!!!

good banter. love the chemistry between the two and although the relationship moves fast, they do meet on a hookup app so that's kinda the point and I'm ok with it. there was a LOT of introspection from both characters and it felt a little redundant at times but overall, it was a cute Christmas read.
