Audiobook narrated by Lauren Sweet.
A sapphic, hallmark, vaguely holiday-based rom-com. Darcy and Elle start out fake dating to appease respectively relatives but soon find there's more to their relationship than they first thought.
- Cheesy but in a good way. You have the sunshine, golden retriever who is a bit wild and the serious, broody counterpart. You have enemies to lovers and obviously fake dating. Tropey as hell but enjoyably so.
- I enjoyed the romance and the building of the relationship. I particularly liked scenes where one partner stood up for the other.
- So, my pet hate and something I've noticed in a lot of millenial chick lit: Harry Potter references. Yes, we grew up with it and the nostalgia is strong. But can we move past referring to people by their Hogwarts houses and stuff. JKR is a scourge on this earth and as a nonbinary individual, I cannot help but cringe when people given her or her creations metaphorical screen time.
Fun, cheesy and enjoyable. Would be a fantastic, cosy Christmas read.
