stitchesandstationery 's review for:

All I Want for Christmas by Maggie Knox
3.25
lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

If you're looking for a clean romance you can read quickly, this might be the book for you. We've got some enemies-to-lovers action, a good supporting cast, and the classic fake dating.

I just couldn't love this one. It was cute, it was quick, and the music industry angle was fun. But the characters felt a little flat to me, the timelines didn't always make sense, and I think some of the plot points would have been  better served by a book that could hit a little harder. Also, I just will never be able to get emotionally invested where the main driver of conflict in the relationship is literally always miscommunication (or complete lack of communication in a lot of places).

With all that, this was:
⭐⭐⭐

Good, cute, and quick but just not for me.
