Did I read a holiday book in January/February to simply feel something.... possibly. The banter is truly what did it for me. The relationship between Frankie and Ophelia made me laugh and blush both at the same time. While there were some parts I had to suspend disbelief, I found the majority of their relationship believable and I ultimately was cheering for them throughout the story. In the grand scheme of things, I think the plot was extremely reliant on the impending timeline that the story was structured on, which did impede some of the flow of the story. It felt a little too quick at the end, like it all finished up too fast. It was still an ending I was satisfied with, so I'm happy.

Rlly enjoyed this book. Definitely very cheesy at times but I really liked the authors use of analogies and imagery. This book was often silly and made me giggle but also a lot more emotional than I expected. Loved it but also made me feel so so single lol. Guys like the ones in books just simply do not exist and it’s quite devastating to say the least

this was sooooo good. had me giggling and shit lmao. but holy shit the sexual tension was insane. imo they’re perfect together idc idc idc. I felt like I was feeling all of the emotions that the characters were feeling, esp when they realized they wanted more. I do think the ending was a tad rushed, but only slightly. but it’s prob just because I didn’t want the book to end

3.5! I feel like this was my first spicy book

This was super cute! It was so feel good, an adorable romance that had me unable to put it down. I was hooked the entire time. Frankie….I fell in love with him too
