This was such a cute little rom com book. It was literally a hallmark movie in book form. As someone who also loves all things Christmas all year round it was such a cozy read!! With it feeling like a hallmark movie, it was rather cheesy and very very predictable. Both main characters were likable but I didn’t really get super into them. The reason for their fake arrangement honestly was so silly to me and I just didn’t get it, just wasn’t very believable to me- based off of their feelings that was written. They didn’t convince me enough. Some off the writing felt a little clunky, but that might be fixed. All in all, it was a super cozy, cute, fun read and I might read it again to get back into the Christmas spirit later this year🎅🏽🤶🏼🎄🎁✨

I went into this completely blind, because I couldn't find a description anywhere. But I've read a few of Pippa Grants books and loved them, so I was feeling optimistic.

This book was such a fun time. It's a none Christmas time Christmas book set in the town of Tinsel, and it has all the good stuff, like fake engagement, small town, a generational family fued, best friends brother, and the goodest of good dogs.

Summary:
Dane Silver and Amanda Anderson come from rival families with a long-standing feud with each other. They decide to get fake engaged to try to unite their families and end this feud once and for all, and along the way, they find love with each other.

Tropes:
Fake Relationship
Family feud
Yearning

This was the perfect rom-com with heartwarming moments. Dane was kind of the high school geek who had a unrequited crush on the popular girl in school, Amanda, but has grown into himself after high school. He is the perfect book boyfriend: supportive, protective, and caring of Amanda and hot. The book mostly focuses on the relationships Dane and Amanda have with their families and trying to figure out the origin of the feud, which provides a touch of mystery to the plot. While the plot was predictable, I recommend if you are looking for a short and sweet read.

Thank you to Montlake and NetGalley for the ARC!

Great book. I loved It even though it was a stretch out of my comfort zone as a reader. I would read another book by this author.
