I don't care how many times the person was married, you don't

at the wedding. But the depiction of mental illness is very real, as someone who suffers from that. There is also parental abandonment on the page

This was a nice light-hearted read that also worked in some mental health and self-esteem issues.

• Holiday season romance
• Jewish main characters
• Plus size male main character (more of this please!)
• Mental health rep
• PNW setting!

This is like the movie Set It Up only their bosses actually should be together.

I have such mixed feelings about this book. Overall, I liked Ari and Russell's interactions but hated the central concept that they're trying to reunite their divorced bosses. There was such a lack of personal boundaries, and I strongly disliked that Ari and Russell would spend any of their time and money on their bosses' lives instead of finding better jobs and/or going on dates with each other (none of the weird double dates count). 

Seth and Torrance, the bosses, had their own odd dynamic. They would have moments of self-reflection, even times when they would call out their toxic behavior, but then they would undercut any progress by a) continuing to make the workplace terrible, b) sharing too many personal details, or c) interfering in their employees' personal lives. 

I don't know. I think even the sweet moments and positive representation were overshadowed for me by not being on board with the Set It Up/Parent Trap storyline.
