Sort of accidentally fake marrying a famous sci-fi character is every fan girl's dream, right? The psych nerd and the closet-nerd actor never saw the rom-com love-train coming but it couldn't have hit them any harder. A Court-Ordered Romance is a hilarious ride for those of us out here in boring old real life; it's probably my favorite out of this year's Winter Bliss trilogy. 

I will say, however, that I was a bit annoyed with Vale a couple of times early on for being such a selfish dramatic dingdong. Clearly, he needed therapy aka a doctor to fake date that actually wanted to talk and listen to him LOL. Vale and Coco really complement each other well and their chemistry was out of this world. The plot of this romance is legit as well, it's a confidence double glow-up that gives you all the warm and fuzzies.
