Playing with Matches by Georgia Beers

2.0

Playing with Matches is like a little gay Christmas Hallmark movie. Very pretty, a well thought out plot with everything tying up really nice, but also very surface level. Like when I watch those, I genuinely think they're nice to look at but none of the big emotions on screen make it to my heart. The book has almost everything I like in a Christmastime romcom, fake dating and a small town with a small business at the center. I was hoping it would give me more and think it would have profited from some first person POV to be more "showing not telling".

Thank you Bold Strokes Books for the ARC exchange for an honest review.
