First and foremost: This isn’t a Christmas story. It just takes place in December and ends on Christmas Eve.

Probably the worst book I’ve read in a while. Here are some random thoughts I had while reading.

>>SPOILERS???<<

Names are cheesy. 

Whole story so far is kind of cheesy. Very cliche. 

Beat is so “I’ll protect her!!!” But in a way that’s kind of annoying instead of hot.

Melody needs to grow a pair and stand up for herself. 

They’re 30? Def acting like horny 21 year olds. 

Working out together? Don’t think I’ve ever read that lol. 

Did we need a detailed description of his happy trail???

Melody - oh I’m quiet and awkward and don’t know how to dress. I date myself and restore books. I’m so ✨different✨ adorkable 

Too many pop culture references. Avengers endgame, elf, Zoey, Fleetwood Mac, etc. 

“I like things effed up” and “good girl”- major cringe 

The curve of those hips belonged in a man’s hands - cringe

Cringy af. Intimate scenes yuck. Lack of romance. Just lust. 

“I would love to get you pregnant one day.” Lol wat.

Mind you, this whole story takes place within like-14 days.
