3.0

“That sounds like a ridiculously idiotic plan.”

Would i recommend: Yeah


What i liked: 

  • butch lesbian rep
  • i love Meemaw. dumb name but I love her. what an ally. 10/10. 
  • I liked that the characters did their best to have open and honest conversations with each other, even when the easiest thing would be to just walk away. Jack and Elle’s convo in the cabin (the ACTUAL cabin) was really special. 

What i didn’t like: 
 
  • i can’t help but feel robbed out of a developed friendship between andrew and elle. they had such good banter at the beginning and then it just fizzles out into nothing. and elle saying she missed him at the end didn’t make sense bc what was there to miss?
  • there was just a lil something missing. like i needed some more depth into the characters and their relationships. I feel like there was a lot of tell and not so much show. 
  • also, did Dylan have a personality apart from being a bit of a ****? 


TLDR; cute wlw hallmark holiday romance with a teeny bit less white people (emphasis on teeny bc there’s still a lot)

Also, I’d love to know the thought process behind the book cover bc that was certainly…a choice
