The Santa Suit

This book read as if it was written by AI. The plot, the dialogue, the lack of chemistry or meaningful conversations, just contrived. Ivy is kind of a bitch and not in an endearing way. I didn't really understand why Ezra is coming on so strongly to Ivy after she had been so rude to him, but him cyberstalking her gave me all the ick. Ngl, the “you could stand to eat a few cheeseburgers” line knocked a star off all by itself. Ezra in general was a consent nightmare. It's never a good time for me when the male lead of a romance novel is icky. The whole Phoebe and Cody business and her trying to lose 10 pounds just so she can be catfished too, was gross. The only saving grace for this book was Lawrence seeing Carlette again.
