I loved She Gets the Girl, but this one didn’t have the same charm that that one had. 
I think this would have been better if the characters were a little older, and more believable that way. The high school angle didn’t mesh well with the celebrity angle. 
Also, the fake dating in this was both too much and not enough.
Everyone around them knows they’re fake dating, which deflates the tension of fake dating.
 
There were some interesting plot lines, but they weren’t the romance. I found
Arden reconnecting with her grandmother and Caroline reckoning with being Jewish in a Christmas town
to be more compelling.
Also,
Taylor deserved better.
