Fake dating is one of my favorite romance tropes and it was done really well here! I honestly didn't get a lot of Pride and Prejudice from this, certainly not as much as other retellings like Unmarriageable or Aisha At Last (which are both excellent). This had similar names and maybe an awkward/bad first meeting, but beyond that I didn't see many parallels, so if you're expecting this to be a straight retelling, it's not. It is very good, though, and quite charming. I loved Margo and Brendon and the Christmas in Seattle setting. Darcy and Elle were also adorable in that grumpy/sunshine way, and all in all this was a lot of fun, especially this time of year.
