A Merry Little Meet Cute by Sierra Simone, Julie Murphy

2.5

2.5⭐️

This was just okay.... first off, there isn't really a meet cute - it's more of a "holy crap I've fantasized about you forever, and now happenstance brought us together in real life." So I guess I can see what the title is aiming for, but it's a stretch. Anyways, this was a super spicy romcom with a lot to unpack around sex work, body image, sexuality, mental health, and celebrity access. Themes were good, spice was good, but ultimately, it was just way too long and got boring. I do really love the positive light it shines on sex work and sexuality in general, so I will absolutely continue to series to see how the rest play out.

Honestly, with some tougher editing (ahem, cutting maybe 100+ pages), this would've been a 4 star for me, but the extra fluff and repetitive nature dropped it to a 2.5 star.
