Beschreibung
Margot Murray is a newly single, successful businesswoman with no interest in a cutesy seasonal romance after her breakup with her long-term girlfriend. Ben Gibson is an unlucky-in-love sweetheart in need of a woman to bring home for the holidays. Together, they make a pact: Margot gets two blissful weeks away from London in a picture-perfect manor, and Ben gets a fake girlfriend for his holiday at home with his family.
Upon arriving to the manor, Margot meets Ben's sister, Ellie, who is suspicious of the supposed relationship right from the start. Ellie intends to get to the bottom of their relationship, not being able to see how the two of them work as a couple. As Ellie and Margot grow closer, will Ben and Margot be able to keep the charade up, or will Margot and Ellie risk the chance at something real?

The constant switching of POVs made the story feel repetitive, and it would have been more interesting if Ellie had slowly figured out what was really going on instead of everything being so obvious to the reader. Overall, the story felt too perfect and a bit boring. Most conflicts were resolved too easily, and nothing really went wrong. There were also moments that felt unrealistic, like characters repeatedly dropping their phones without noticing. The insta love felt rushed and unbelievable. They’ve known each other for about a week and are already close to confessing their love. By the end, it felt even more unrealistic that all the characters found new partners and were moving in together after just a year.
2.75⭐ Meh, didn't give the cozy fun Christmas vibes I wanted. They were cute together and I liked that they actually got to know each other, had "dates" and meaningful conversations. I also appreciated that there was no spice, since it really wasn't necessary. But besides that I did not enjoy this. Individually I didn't really like the characters, it was rather boring and didn't feel like a Christmas book. I also felt like there was too much unnecessary and unimportant information about things that didn't really matter.
