I flipped back and forth between the Grinch theme being charming and annoying here. Some of the story narrators lines cracked me up, he was probably my favorite even though he wasn’t actually a character. 

The overall plot, taking out the Christmas aspect, was what you’d normally expect for a romance. There was angst and spice and banter, as expected. 

For a VERY heavily holiday themed book, it was pretty entertaining. I think you just have to be in the mood for exactly that if you pick this book up! 

Tropes: 
Enemies to Lovers
Fake Dating
Small Town
Slow Burn
Holiday Themed (like, seriously)

Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
