""I'm Christmas drunk and not at all ashamed."<br/><br/>3.5⭐<br/><br/>Faking Under the Mistletoe was not really what I thought it was going to be. It seems like a light Christmas rom-com, but the sexual harassment and assault aspect played a bigger role than I thought it would. I don't think it would have bothered me as much with a different book, but the synopsis doesn't mention it at all, and it was kind of jarring. Yes, there's a content warning at the front of the book, but I think it just said it was mentioned, and it ended up being a bigger storyline. It just wasn't the cheerful Christmas rom-com I'd been hoping for. However, the fun parts were good, and I still liked it; I just wish the synopsis was more upfront about the story. <br/><br/>CW - sexual harassment, sexual assault, cancer, mention of drugging"

"Adorable winter, Christmassy love story. I don’t always love rom coms, but this was just perfect. "
