Playing with Matches by Georgia Beers is a cute, sapphic wintery small-town romcom! This book is giving all of the hallmark vibes.
This sapphic romance had all the hallmark classic features, with Liz coming home to her small town after being laid off. She runs into her high school crush, Cori, who runs the local Artisan gift shop. Liz struggles to figure out her next moves when she gets a big surprise and drags Cori into a fake relationship!
Fake dating is my favorite trope! I love the messiness, and how both parties are already into each other, so it turns into a battle. I don't want this to be fake, but I can't get too attached because it is supposed to be fake! I loved the instant chemistry between Liz and Cori. Beers such a sweet, heartfelt relationship between these two characters that even when things got crazy, they still supported each other. Georgia Beers did a great job creating a holiday romance that still had some twists and turns. While the story started a little slow, once it got going, I was engaged and excited to see what was coming next. It had an air of individuality, even in a used
Overall, this book was heartfelt and felt like a warm hug. It is one that you can cuddle up on the couch with a warm mug of coffee and read till your heart is content. I had a great time reading this sapphic romance and would highly recommend picking up Playing with Matches by Georgia Beers.
