4.11 AVERAGE


Wait I thought this book was gonna be silly and stupid and it was actually good.

this was the first time I read a book with a summer/beach Christmas setting and it wasn't all bad. 

Overall Rating: 4⭐️
Definitely the book that fits a steamy cheesy theme, I definitely enjoyed this and needed it after the emotional rollercoaster of a book before! 

You kinda saw the end coming but in a good way and the growth of the 2 MC was soooo goooddd!

Spice Rating: 2🔥
There was spice but I don’t know I didn’t feel like it was a lot? I expected a lot so maybe I was over prepared… but as usual for me it didn’t need it there was such a slow burn on this book and it worked.

Format: Kindle
Loved this cover however I do think the characters on the front did the main characters dirty it just didn’t fit the vibes that came off them!

This book got me out of a looooooong reading slump... And then immediately sent me back into one afterward. I read it in December and then ended up listening to the audiobook in January because I loved it so much. Read it on Kindle Unlimited initially but just ordered a print copy on Amazon because I already know I'll be reading it for Christmas every year.

IM OBSESSEDDDDDD.
will be back to write a review after a reread.

Great banter!

This was too cute, and really funny. The classic definition of a rom-com for me. I was laughing out loud and had such feel good feelings at the end. Although not sure why everyone kept making 35 out to be sooo old. I kept waiting for them to make grey hair jokes with how much crap they gave Frankie for being “old”.
