I want to start this review out by saying I am not a romance reader. I typically do not enjoy books that are strictly romance, so I tend to avoid them altogether. That being said, when I saw this as a BOTM choice for this month, I was intrigued by the cover and the fact that it's a queer love story that takes place during Christmas. I thought it would be a perfect holiday read, but instead I just found myself annoyed. The story started off okay, but I quickly started to get irritated by Ellie's cynicism and obsession with failure, the cheesy descriptions during any intimate scenes, and the constant mention of whatever song was being played in the background. The diversity in the characters was refreshing, I can definitely say this was the first book I've ever read where the main character was a demisexual and I do love this book for the representation it brings. However, doesn't it kind of ruin the point of making a character demisexual when she falls in love with someone she just met over the course of a few hours? I get that it was a "love at first sight" sort of thing, but it just didn't feel organic. I also wish there were more scenes between Andrew and Ellie, their relationship was one of the few that didn't make me cringe. They had a cute friendship and I wish we could have read more of that instead of all the absolutely unrealistic ways Ellie and Jack got stuck being alone together. Overall I have a lot of feelings about this book and I just don't think it was for me.
