Review: A sweet enough Christmas short
Rating: 3 out of 5

This is a solid 3.5 but still undecided on whether to round up or not...I feel generous right now so leaving it as is for now. I really enjoyed the first 50%, it was adorable but not too sweet and nauseatingly fluff as Love Lessons was. I loved Frankie's voice and I loved how Marcus came off as unintentionally grumpy no matter how much he tried to show Frankie his interest. Plus I have a soft spot for flamboyant MCs. :) I didn't really enjoy the second half as much, I found all the success with the inpromptu hair salon was just going a littttle overboard....I think I just turned really cynical for the second half. x) Also, I've seen the whole sudden revelation trope too many times before. I wouldn't have minded if it ended a little bit earlier and as a nice HFN. Still a nice Christmas themed story if you are in the mood, now I'm ready to wash off all these warm fuzzy feelings for something a little more intense.So, I would rate the first half 4.5 and the second half 2 stars
