The problems with insurance and medicine costs felt, and are, very real. His mother's diagnosis being Bipolar, and how his mother was doing in terms of her high's and lows, and medication control felt very real. Mental health was a big thing on Nolan's side of the story.

When done right, and in a healthy way, it shouldn't be shamed. Sex work isn't this terrible thing it is made out to be. They were open about the pitfalls - like Bee not ever getting cuddles after sex, ever, because, well, its porn, and the stigma - but none of them felt it was a bad thing. Every character in this book - main and side character - truly loved their jobs. The sex industry is not shamed in this book. I just love that her job and her size is not the sum of who she is, and it isn't a shameful part of her. She is an all around wonderful person - who happens to work in porn. They make it clear that Bee went through a journey to find her self-esteem and her love for herself. They didn't just make her immediately confidant. Julie and Sierra wrote her in a way that didn't gloss over her plus-size status. Plus-size, and loves herself and her body. It was cool, and unique, and just an all around entertaining read.īee is amazing. We as the reader get a nice, fluffy Christmas story, but the best part is the real, behind the scenes Christmas love story. The whole idea of adding porn stars and behind the scenes staff of porn, asking them to keep their jobs secret, and working on one of these movies? Brilliant and funny. As someone who loves romance, I sure do HATE Hallmark and Women's Network romance movies, so I haven't seen one in a long time. You get a simple, chaste kiss, and that's it. Because lets me honest - Hallmark movies are as wholesome and family friendly as they come. The situations Bee and Nolan get themselves into throughout the book lead to some laughs, and even the side characters who are part of the industry add a little something to the awkwardness of the situation they landed in. Which makes it all the more wonderful, and hilarious. It blends the very popular Hallmark wholesome Christmas movies with the adult entertainment world - in secret, of course. The story in A Merry Little Meet Cute is great.
