All I Want for Christmas

I'm always in the mood to pick up a romcom or two around Christmastime. I pick carefully as I'm finicky in the genre. Given I enjoyed The Holiday Swap, I figured another Maggie Knox book would be a safe bet. Sadly, I wasn't invested this time around.    Both hoping to make their break into the Nashville music world, Sadie and Max fake a relationship for the sake of their fans after they get paired up for a duet on the reality show Starmaker. It's a rouse neither are sure they can keep up given their distaste for one another. But is it possible that there could be more there after all?    I retained very little about this book if I'm being brutally honest. I didn't care about the characters or the plot. The vibes were good but I wasn't feeling it. I do remember chuckling at a couple of the lines, but I couldn't tell you what they were. Nothing was memorable for me aside from a strange time jump I should have been expecting but wasn't and an obnoxious amount of miscommunication. There were some cozy bits, but not enough to make up for the rest. I normally love fake dating, or maybe I used to and my taste is changing, because this is the second time in recent months that this trope has let me down.
