Fool Me Twice at Christmas

friends to lovers to exes to fake daters with only one bed… everything about this book was delicious. From the small town setting to the family shenanigans and the chocolate factory… I liked that it was a comedy of errors where everything went wrong until it was perfectly right … the Christmas spirit was the cherry on top…

I don’t know who I hated more, the spineless main characters or their overbearing parents. Way too “Hallmarky” for me.

Every single character is insufferable, the plot is ridiculous, and the ending isn’t even satisfying after suffering through all the mediocre writing about inexplicable decisions.

A fun and easy read with laugh out loud moments! Looking forward to the next book by this author.

I think Chuck deserved better- did not like the way Kate treated him in the story. She seemed very self centered and more about what she wanted and not respectful of his feelings. Took away from my enjoyment of the book. No holiday spirit.

Not sure if I have read this author before, her name is familiar. This was a manic kind of story, almost too busy for me to enjoy. Couldn’t agree with the couple for not coming clean with their parents from the start, but then we wouldn’t have the story. I sympathized with Chuck the whole time.

What a delightful book about two young people who have been in love for ten years and they break-up. Only hearts don’t always get the memo. Complications include telling the parents who happened to be best friends and business partners. Lies are hard to confess, and Kate and Chuck’s attempts to fess up about their break-up are thwarted time and time again. A fun book that was hard to stop reading because I needed to know what happened next, which certainly wasn’t predictable! Loads of laughs and sweet scenes. My favorite was the Girl Scout bus ride! Great characters and easy flowing format of telling the story alternating between Kate and Chuck’s viewpoints. I loved it!11

Goodness, this quick story is a perfect seasonal distraction!!! It touches on all of those adorable quirks that I absolutely love about rom-coms. A false relationship that just spirals out of control as the lies start to build up and offers quite a bit of comedic moments. I could easily picture this being made into a movie. The story is told from alternating perspectives. Chuck and Kate have been destined to be soulmates since birth. Their parents are besties who own and operate a very successful chocolate franchise. They do absolutely everything together, which was perfect up until the golden couple split up four months ago and neglected to tell anyone. Now home for the holidays, they intend to break the news to their loved ones, but never get the chance as one lie, multiple misconstrued moments and guilt over ruining everyone expectations get blown way out of hand. The situations these two found themselves in was outrageously entertaining and hilarious! Their overbearing families truly added to the chaos as well. I read this in one sitting and just couldn't stop smiling throughout the entire book. Along with plenty of humor, there is a great lesson about relationships. How you continuously need to work at them and how open communication is the key to true happiness. This in book one in the Christmas Romantic Comedy series. I definitely look forward to reading the sequel, A Christmas Caroline. It's a modern retelling of A Christmas Carol!
