"You're not getting it," I say impatiently, plainly. "I'm in love with every single thing about you, Jack Kim-Prescott."

a christmas romcom! i loved reading about ellie and jack falling in love and the instant spark they had, but it didn’t captivate me as much as i wished. i hoped to get a little bit more of ellie and andrew and while i appreciate that they became friends in the end, i wish i saw more of their relationship and maybe more of their hijinks because fake dating when you’re in love with different people?? wild! in general, im not a fan of infidelity and while this isn’t true cheating, it has elements of it and the angst it creates is not entirely my cup of tea.

however, the fixation on failure and what each character goes through in their fear of it and how they work around it really does it home. combined with the cozy feeling of the holiday season, it makes this book a wonderful read.
