A Merry Little Meet Cute by Julie Murphy, Sierra Simone

3.5

 This was the Lost in Romance Book Club pick for December and overall, I did end up liking it but not as much as I thought I would. This book definitely tackles diverse topics such as bipolar disorder and a curvy plus size female lead. I loved the inclusion of that, and I feel like it was handled well. This isn't something I've read before in the sense that the main female lead is a porn star. I wouldn't normally associate a porn star with a Christmas romance, but this worked. Several of the film crew members aside from Bea also work in the porn business and we get a few funny moments out of that. I liked Bea and Nolan together but there were some instances where they weren't communicating very well, and I hate lack of communication in books. That being said when they were communicating with each other it was perfect. I listened to audiobook of this which wasn't my favorite because I found myself cringing several times throughout because of how the narrator narrates certain scenes. It takes a lot for a romance book to make me cringe and I think had I been physically reading it this wouldn't have happened. Overall, this was an ok read that had me laughing and cringing at the same time.
