Meh
Format: Kindle
🌟Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
💧Drip-o-Meter: 💦💧
💗Something I Loved: I really enjoyed the whole “two love stories in one” aspect. Marketed as a queer version of “The Holiday,” AYG follows Tatum and Eleanor (alternating every chapter) as they swap houses and ultimately, you guessed it, fall in love, all while discovering the place they truly belong. I definitely had more of an interest in Eleanor and Carson’s relationship than I did in Tatum and June’s, but that’s probably because Carson is my favorite type of character… real and complex but also funny and oh so charismatic. Where the other characters fell flat for me, Carson felt full of personality and depth.
🫤Something I Would Have Changed: Several things sadly. On top of some specific pet peeves (ugh insta-love), there were far too many subplots, most of which felt underdeveloped, and the ending somehow both drug on while also feeling very abrupt.
🥰Favorite Moment: Truthfully, there isn’t one that really stood out to me 🤷🏻♀️
🌶️Spiciest Scene: Chapter 8… Eleanor and Carson’s first EncOUntEr *insert eyebrow wiggle*. Other than this scene, I’d classify the spice in this book as closed door/fade to black… and even though this one is “open,” it’s not overly spicy (but does have some good banter).
📚Standalone vs. Series: Standalone
📖Would I Recommend: I’m indifferent. I didn’t hate it but it was in no way a new favorite for me. I struggled to connect with all of the characters other than Carson and thought there was an overall lack of chemistry, especially between Tatum and June, that made it hard to even care if they ended up together. I don’t necessarily regret reading it but I’m sure I won’t remember a bit of it in a day or two and overall really just don’t have a lot of thoughts about it other than “meh.”
💬Tropes: Found Family, Small Town Romance and Big City Love, Dual Romance, House Swap, Queer (Lesbian x Non-Binary)

Two romances for the price of one!!
Format: Kindle
This was a really interesting book. Usually you only get a single romance, maybe some side character has a little something happen offpage. Not here. You get two complete romances for the price of one. Though the romances are interconnected and somewhat similar. Both Eleanor and Tatum don't believe they should have relationships...though for very different reasons. And they both overcome their fears and move forward with their love interests in similar fashion. Dawn was by far the best side character, and I loved her. I would honestly love to have a story of her finding love again, even at her age. She's just so fun.
Eleanor and Carson are a fun pair. They bring out the fun and playful in her. She brings out the emotional depth in them. They really do make each other better, more complete people. They become close very quickly which ends up scaring Eleanor off.
Tatum and June are adorable. They both obviously like each other, but Tatum is hung up on the idea that nothing will ever work because of how her family is, and June is trying to deal with being the kind of person who needs a relationship to feel safe and normal. They finally start to open up to each other and then mutually freak out a little causing hurt feelings.
There is a third act breakup for each couple. They happen about the same time, and last for the same time in the book and chronologically which is a few months unfortunately. Overall it was a very light, fluffy story that is easy to fall into. There aren't really any truly explicit spicy scenes. There is the barest amount of spice and then it gets glossed over, so not truly fade to black either. I wasn't a fan of the whole 'NYC is so super fabulous and everyone should want to live there' kind of vibe parts of the book gave off, but that's more of a personal hangup of mine than anything else.

Feeling The Holiday inspiration
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
Tatum needs a quick escape from her small town life and the week of events planned to introduce her (and the rest of the family) to a surprise half brother, so she joins customer-who-she-won’t-let-herself-love June on a business trip to NYC
Tatum is swapping homes with Eleanor, who needs an escape of her own from The City after of PR nightmare of a job - and situationship - loss throws her life into chaos. While she’s staying at Tatum’s, she meets her younger sibling and her attraction to them is both immediate and required. But are there feelings too?
I think with any story that involves multiple relationships, you’re going to be interested in one over the other.
For me, I was invested more in Eleanor and Carson. Their spontaneity and artistic sides of their jobs seemed to mesh well from the start.
I’m still not sold on why Tatum and June shouldn’t have been together from the start, so it felt like I was waiting for them to catch up.
My favorite side character would have to be aging former movie star Dawn, from Tatum and June’s storyline. I was cheering for her to get a second chance at the spotlight.
I was happy for HEAs all around, especially when the couples have to overcome the issues of having existing lives in different places. I enjoy books like this when there’s an epilogue set later too, assuring those HEAs stick the landing!

Entertaining
Format: Kindle
This is a fun book that includes a house swap such as you have seen in the movie Holiday. Tatum and Eleanor both go through things personally and need a change so they switch houses which are in different towns. One goes to a small town, whereas one is in the Hollywood area.
It’s really fun to see how both characters adjust to being in different places and how it really makes them think about their own lives while they each by themselves falling for someone. There is wonderful banter throughout the book and all of the side characters are entertaining as well.
It’s a fun book.

Not for me
Format: Paperback
I’ll start off by saying I’m definitely not the target audience for this book yet I tried not to let that color my review any. The dual main characters are interesting in their own ways yet I didn’t find myself invested in the outcome.
