ARC Review: A Merry Little Meet Cute by Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone
A Merry Little Meet Cute by Julie Murphy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
You know what? This book was awesome. It answered the question I never thought to ask and probably still don't really want the answer to: what would happen if a porn star was cast in a Hallmark Christmas movie? The answer is in the form of a delightful little book with everything I love about Hallmark Christmas movies but better???
What I loved:
-every moment of dramatique drama was resolved within a few pages
-there was a lot of casually accepted queerness including both main characters being disaster bisexuals
-it explained how "fat" is a neutral description and not an insult (the female main character Bee describes herself as fat)
-similarly, the sex work wasn't used as a way to make Bee and the other porn industry characters less than
-it was a book about the making of a Hallmark Christmas movie but the Hallmark Christmas movie romantic beats were between the two actors falling in love! Like a Christmas movie inception of a romance within a romance within a romance book.
-including the characters saying I love you after two weeks lol classic Hallmark movie
-but with also explicit scenes I guess
My one critique is I got really confused about who the side characters were but this might be a me problem because I took forever to read the book and forgot stuff.
Overall, a fun and festive Christmas book with a dash of porn. Tis the season or whatever.
