All I Want for Christmas by Maggie Knox
2.0
I have mixed feelings about this book. The two MC’s don’t really have any reason to dislike each other in the beginning, especially since every single conflict they share is just a bunch of small misunderstandings. Sadie thinks Max is an entitled playboy, while Max thinks Sadie is a clout chaser who’s sleeping her way to the top.
The writing itself isn’t bad, and neither is the plot. However, I can’t really say there’s anything I loved about it either. There isn’t any real character development, and I don’t feel like we get to see much in the progression of their feelings. One minute they hate each other, and the next they’re both fighting big romantic feelings? Make it make sense.
But here’s my thoughts:
- Fluffy romance
- A Star is Born vibes, but make it Christmas
- Why can’t they just communicate?!
- All their problems could’ve been solved if they just talked to each other and we’re honest
- Why does Max keep walking away?
This book includes multiple different tropes, including: fake dating, enemies to lovers, and forced proximity.
0.5
