I wish this one was better!

A Merry Little Meet Cute by Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone

by 1 Comment

I’m the sort of person who loves ridiculous holiday romcoms and wishes they contained more romantic content.

I really really enjoyed this. I laughed out loud a few times and was honestly surprised by the direction of some of the characters' stories in this one. I have to say though, read this one if you feel a bit down in the dumps, it does give you hope that everyone you meet can't be all that bad. I … [Read more]
