3.5
Andrew and Maxine:
3️⃣ Maxine let her insecurities overshadowed everything. She made assumptions about Andrew that were unfounded and made me like her less especially bc Andrew was so sweet and really just wanted to be with her.
Kane and Scarlett:
2️⃣5️⃣ Kane’s assumption that it was Scarlett and holding a grudge for 2 years was ughh but him immediately trying to fix it by showing that he wouldn’t give up on her was cute. Chapter 4 was cringey. Continued to go down hill from there. The Janice & Mandi angle was outrageous. But it got better when he was honest and the last chapter was cute
Landon and Grace:
3️⃣8️⃣ Grace has absolutely no filter which was funny and she was so adorable. Landon was the perfect gentleman, he was sweet and really like Grace. It was so great up until the 80% drama (rolls eyes) but it was resolved quickly and with real honest communication which I love.
Luca and Aubrey:
3️⃣ They reason behind their families not wanting them together was ludicrous and them actually getting was basically just sex.
Jackson and Hailey:
3️⃣8️⃣They’re always conflict and could’ve easily fixed with one conversation but I guess it was a logic assumption (said sarcastically) but everything else, especially her being a black woman was great. I love that he carried her Christmas tradition on with Cam.
Abel and Scout:
4️⃣ The spiciness, the kink, the banter, and Abel w/Scout was perfect. But the icing on the cake was Scout making Abel take accountability and didn’t immediately forgive him.
Kaiden and Laura:
4️⃣ This was a super cute Christmas Nichole Rose book.
