I felt like whoever wrote this book has ADHD and a binge eating problem. Half the book was talking about eating and her boobs. It was very annoying. The grammar was not the best. I couldn't tell who was talking half the time since they never specify.
Plus part of the book was about sexual assault/harassment when the MC literally forced herself to kiss someone who didn't ask to be kissed? It's literally the same thing?

Just finished rereading this in a day. Still made me laugh with the banter. A lighthearted cozy read with fake dating trope, Christmas setting, grumpy/sunshine trope, and workplace romance.

This was a little tough to get into because the grumpy character really nailed it, and straight insulted Olivia a few times. But I stuck with it and I began to like Asher and I enjoyed their HEA. There was so much to this story that was so well written that I have high hopes for more novels by her.

I read several holiday/Christmas books in December and this was by far my favorite. Includes my favorite tropes: fake dating, grumpy sunshine, one bed, and office romance! So good!! Definitely going reread next holiday season.

Update: I reread this a year later and loved EVERY second of it as much as the first time. Such an underrated book.
