3.5. It was a good book and I'd recommend it, but I had my issues with the last third of the book. The first two thirds were sweet and enjoyable. A friends to lovers story with fake dating. Classic. But the level of denial our FMC, Stella, had was so ridiculous that it just annoyed me. I get the “let's not ruin this friendship” fear, but the way that part was written made me want to yell at her. I really dislike when authors write women like they're dumb. If they had wanted to go with that line of thinking for her, at least make his declaration a little less clear, straightforward, and perfect.

I think this is a wonderful Christmas romance. Good amount of buildup and great resolution. The dialogue to get there wasn't great, but it was a fun time. Merry Christmas, everyone!
