If you’re looking for a cutesy and festive Christmas read with some spice, then check this one out! Meghan Quinn never fails to make me laugh and this book is no exception. A lot of it is pretty cheesy but some parts had me actually laughing out loud.
The American Girl dolls made me laugh so many times throughout this book. I had Samantha (still do—tucked away in a box—not haunting anyone) so I especially enjoyed the references.
This is definitely a fun Christmas read. I enjoyed the characters and the town. The banter is fun. The spice is nice. But I wish this had just a bit more substance to it and wasn’t quite as cheesy. I felt like the enemies portion went on way too long, then I started getting into it at about the halfway point, and then the ending felt really rushed. I am always here for the fake dating and enemies to lovers tropes, and I enjoyed those portions of the book the most.
