Set the Record Straight by Hannah Bonam-Young
"This was way too insta for my tastes, even with this being a novella. It was pretty much over after 75 pages and was all fluff from there.
It was cute enough but I found the “friends to lovers� aspect a little hard to swallow. They hadn’t been much of friends in 9 years but all of a sudden they were in love.
But if you’re looking for an easy fluffy Christmas read and don’t mind instalove, you’ll probably like this. "

Set the Record Straight by Hannah Bonam-Young
"Not really in the mood to review and I also think I’m burnt out on holiday romances but a few things to mention:

* This could’ve benefitted from being a full length novel
* It went from entering a fake relationship to a real one within the span of a chapter or two? No.
* Fake dating should have tension, right? Because none existed between the two
* I didn’t feel the weight of their friendship
* I wanted parts of their past to have been included. So, a flashback scene or two would’ve been nice
* Though it’s dual POV, the voices didn’t feel distinct enough
* I would’ve liked Evan’s trauma to have been explored more. Not only did she leave a long-term relationship after being cheated on, her parents disowned her, which had a major impact

Don’t get me wrong, this was adorable and sweet (almost two sweet?), with a good dose of spice and I loved the rep in here.
And usually with novellas, I understand things move quicker. But there was a lot in here that didn’t need to be. Or it should’ve been longer."
