Kiss Her Once for Me was a cute, holiday story! The love triangle was fun and I liked the evolution of Ellie and Jack's relationship. It was overall a fine, fun read, although I don't feel like I connect with Cochrun's writing style.

A great saphhic christmas romcom. Very cozy read. Great descriptive writing. Solid representation. Fake relationship story.

This was a cute sapphic holiday romance, but I don't think fake marriage is a trope for me. I will continue to read from Alison Cochrun in the future though!

Just the thing for the holiday season--a fun, cozy, yet dramatic love story. I appreciated the time jumps and the breadth of lgbt+ characters in the novel. Finding love is one thing, but finding a community and family...that's something even more magical.

As someone who is sucker for queer holiday romance, this book filled a spot in my heart. Fake dating is one of my favorite tropes and Alison Cochrun does it so well!

I loved The Charm Offensive and was a fan of this one as well! The mental health representation was well done and was such a cozy holiday read. I’m always into books with great side characters and loved that that was a part of this book as well.

I really wanted to like this book but it felt too unrealistic, the dialogue clunky, and the relationship too insta-love for me.

Alison Cochrun what have you done to me?? I was a little nervous picking up this book because I'm not a fan of love triangles or cheating. I was pleasantly surprised and loved how the author portrayed real emotions and yearning!! Really looking forward to more from Alison Cochran.

Kiss Her Once for Me had me HOOKED from the very start!
While I really enjoyed the “one day love affair” that this book presents, it felt a bit unbelievable to me.
Two people meeting and spending a day together is enough to fall in love? I’m not sure.
The meet-cute is adorable but I just can’t believe one single day can solidify a LOVE.
Other than that, it was a beautiful LGBTQIA+ holiday romance that I can recommend.

Will be definitely recommending this one this holiday season. My fave christmas romance book of last year.

3.5
Alison Cochrun's books are a TRUE delight!
I loved the snowy day bookstore/one night stand meet cute! Ellie and Jack were so cute and the Taylor Swift references were SO SO SO well done!
The miscommunication towards the end was a little TOO over the top for me - but overall I adored the story!

Not really my cup of tea, Review to come, I accidentally got this one and didn’t download before archive. Will read and update

Super cute, festive sapphic Christmas romance. I was kicking my feet and blushing. Perfect for Christmas.

My favorite sapphic Christmas romcom! The characters are so lovable easy to root for. This book is filled with tangible Christmas magic. And who doesn’t love the fake dating trope, with a fun queer twist.

- down-on-her-luck ellie agrees to fake-date the landlord of her workplace so he can get his inheritance (& 10% would go to her), only to find out his sister is the girl she had a whirlwind day with last christmas
- second chance, fake dating sapphic romance set at christmas!!!
- this was fun & sexy & so frustrating! why don't people just tell the truth!!!

Sapphic fake engagement with your one night stand's brother when you're stuck in a house with the whole family, what could go wrong? Overall I thought this book was very mid, I didn't love the romance between the two characters because I didn't feel any chemistry between them. Their one day in the blizzard seemed boring honestly, and the main female character was kind of a stick in the mud, she read as very flat on the page. I would've preferred something to actually happen with the fake fiance because his personality was better.

Lovely queer holiday read! This was so full of heart and the chemistry was through the roof! I could see myself easily rereading this every holiday season. 4 stars!

This book was the perfect snow day read! It’s everything you want in a winter cozy meet cute! I enjoyed the characters and the found family aspect of the book!

Ellie was hard to love as a main character. I found her to be too whiney in moments. The grandmothers were a highlight throughout and I loved how Andrew's family immediately welcomed Ellie into their family.
This story had great parts and some that were ok. The writing and storyline were well done such as the storyline with her and her mom. The author did a good job giving closure to a toxic situation. I didn't understand Andrew's father's role in the story. I think the author meant or his father to play some big part, but when you take him the story could have gone on the same way without him.
I would recommend this book to the right person, but it wasn't for me personally.
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I couldn't get behind the siblings thing tbh. Thought I could look past it but couldn't so that's on me.
