Nick and Noel's Christmas Playlist book review read in December 2022

Title: Nick and Noel's Christmas playlist
Author: Codi Hall
Number Of Pages: 286
Genre: Adult romance/holiday/fiction 
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

Nick is finally home from the military and all he wants to do is get his own place and settle down with his long-distance girlfriend Amber, but when he pays her a visit to tell her about his plans to have a future with her involving getting married and having kids together, instead of good news to tell his best friends Pike, Anthony, and Noel, he finds himself heading home with a box full of his stuff and CD's of songs he had put together for Amber and a broken heart. Seeing him mope around didn't seem like the best thing for him to his friends so they decided to push him to go out to the bar with them for a drink or two and just hang out in celebration of his return, when they see amber there with another guy, Noel takes Nick to the dance floor, feeling Amber eyes on them, jealousy painted on her face, they decide to put on a show for them and share a kiss. It was supposed to be an innocent kiss that meant nothing, but it sure felt like something to them. Now having to lie to everyone in town, because of that kiss, they pretend they are dating, which doesn't sit right with either of their ex's who keep trying to get their attention. Nick never expected to start falling for his best friend, Noel on the other hand had always hoped he would feel the same way she did, but when thing get a bit spicy Noel starts getting skeptical, worried about losing Nick, his family, Pike and Anthony if this all goes wrong. Can she open up and let Nick in? Or will she push him away too far to the point of no return? I really wanted to like this book, 😩 the characters are cute, and I do admire the friendship between Nick and Noel, I loved how his family treated Noel, I hated the whole feud between Noel and Amber, I thought it was stupid and childish, but I did understand it's a big part of the story. It had a nice amount of spice, but it was spice that led to nothing, 😑 left me super disappointed. I felt the whole fake boyfriend and girlfriend thing was cheesy and overused, 🙄I feel like there's so many books' movies shows and stories like this. It really dragged, there was also a lot of typos while I don't actually mind typos normally, this book had a lot more then I usually see, which made me kind of double back a bit. It also wasn't very Christmassy. Not what I expected. 

Pros: Mentions some pretty good songs
Cons: Drags, cheesy, too many typos
Recommended to: Any one into cheesy holiday romances.
