overall i liked this. it was exactly what i want for this time of year. however, there were many parts during this book where i felt there were plot holes, frustrating miscommunications, and characters just acting awful to each other for seemingly no reason.
i did not see the reason for all of the cheating. it seemed unnecessary and lessened my love for the characters. also how jack turned ellie down publicly and minutes later came driving out to change her mind??? also im so mad that ellie took all of the blame for the fake marriage thing when it was all of andrew's idea. he continuously pushed her to do it and then she got all of the blame which was upsetting.
also, to be honest, almost every trope in this are ones that i really dislike (miscommunication, fake dating/marriage, fear of commitment). but despite that, i still enjoyed this more than i thought i would, considering my dislike of those tropes. overall, this was still a cute, queer Christmas romance for the holidays
