So cute! There are a lot of Star Wars references and typically they annoy me as a non Star Wars person, but these were used so well that I was ok with them!

It’s just the Christmas of reading all of Jacqueline’s books and I’m loving every moment of it.

This is a pure masterpiece. The meta moments of her universe. The inspiration of not only being a successful author, but seeing your series coming to life AND falling in love with one of the actors- it’s what I hope my dreams will come true to be 😂 please please please pick this up if you haven’t already! 

Especially because I want to see the fanfics of this I’m the future.

That was even better than the first! I’m still biased and I’m still in love with everything Jacqueline does!

I may be biased by giving this a 5 ⭐️ review but I also love Ricarda with my whole heart so I’m allowed to be biased! 

I walked out to my mail box the other day and found a Christmas card from my sweet sweet friend in my mail box! In it, she included this cute holiday story. I’ve been so blessed to watch her grow as a writer and I can’t wait to see what comes next!

I’m biased, but this is the perfect Christmas book. 

Also his name is definitely Lord Stickuphisass, and no one can convince me otherwise 😂

A couple super implausible moments but I would 100% drop everything if a billionaire bought my company because he was in love with me too

Bumped to a 5 star because I couldn’t stop thinking about this book and had to reread it!

Disclaimer: I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts within are my own.

This book was so good, that I now want to actually learn football, find someone who’s friends with a head coach and fall head over heals in love. 

While not implausible, it’s not my story. So I’ll keep rereading this book for now. I looooooooooove Shawn and Lacey together but more importantly, I loved how they actually discussed the things that mattered. There was no back and forth am I good enough for them? The only back and forth was the will this end or won’t it that they both didn’t want to end. Seeing them already be friends but fall hard was great!

Also I loved how the panic attacks were handled. So much love and care went into the books and it reads as such!
