The Mistletoe Motive by Chloe Liese
3.0

So, I don't know how I feel about this specific novella. It's a good one overall, but it was so damn predictable. Like seriously I knew from the start what was going to happen.

A friend of mine recommended it saying that since I LOVED the hating game, I'm also gonna love this one. I don't hate it, but I also don't love it. Like I won't be going around in circles screaming on top of my lungs that, omg I read the mistletoe motive.

I can see why people love this, I might also have loved it if I had not read the hating game first. Individually it had a cute storyline and a cute ending. But that was it, cute.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a sucker for cute books but those books also have something else in addition to that cuteness, like a plot twist or some essence of originality.

I was torn between giving it a four-star review or a three-star one. Giving a three-star felt unjust to their love, and giving a four felt unjust to my feelings. So I end up deciding on a three-star.
