This sweet, funny holiday romance from the author of Romeo And Whats Her Name features cute boys, plenty of rom-com mishaps, and a determined heroine readers are certain to fall for. Charlotte Charlie Donovan knows exactly what she wants for Christmas: Teo Ortiz. Hes a star athlete, a National Honor Society member, and the most popular guy in school. Plus he contributes to the school paper, where Charlie is a co-editor. Basically, he's exactly the type of guy Charlies looking for. The only problem ishe barely knows she exists. But Charlie has a plan: rig the papers Secret Santa and win his heart with the perfect gift. The catch? She has no idea what to get him. Enter J.D. OrtizTeos cousin, and possibly the most annoying person on the planet. Hes easy going, laid back, disorganized, and spontaneousthe exact opposite of Charlie (and Teo). But he knows what Teo wants, so shes stuck with him. Yet, the more time Charlie spends with J.D., the more she starts to wonder: Does she really know what, or rather who, she wants for Christmas? Shani Petroff's newest young adult comedy of errors, My New Crush Gave to Me, is the perfect read for those searching for some love and laughter along with their holiday spirit. Praise for Romeo and What's Her Name: "Petroffs latest offering, published by Macmillans crowdsourced imprint, will delight romance lovers with its fast pace and humorous tone. This sweet, lighthearted look at high school romantic foibles will be of particular interest to fans of books by Ann Brashares and Jennifer Echols." School Library Journal "Flirty and fun." Booklist "[Emily is] the American Bridget Jones...this book is simply amazing!" Jenn, reader on SwoonReads.com "The characters, the pacing, the plot are all on point! Absolutely hilarious book!"

I just read two books back to back that are weighing very heavy on my mind and emotions (The Break and Seven Fallen Feathers - both highly recommended, they are well written, engrossing, important books, but they will haunt you. As they should. Will tag in comments). So now I need a mental time out. Holiday themed fluffy YA? Perfect!

Purrfectpages I read it. It‘s a good palate cleanse! 7y
TheKidUpstairs @Purrfectpages I'm about half way through, and it's lots of fun. Totally predictable, but fun. Although Charlie is kind of horrible to everyone, isn't she? 7y
Purrfectpages @TheKidUpstairs yes! It‘s enjoyable, even if all of the characters decisions are not! 7y

Cute, but predictable. I gave this book 3 stars, not because it was bad, but because this is a classic boy-next-door story with a Secret Santa twist. It was fun & festive, but lacking in substance & originality. Charlie, the main character, was pretty unlikeable as well - her “late passes,” scoffing at other‘s interests ... she got under my skin for much of the book. Overall though, a nice, light rom-com for the holidays. #seasonsreadings2017

Charlie is troubled- right after her boyfriend dumps her-yet right before the holidays. A self proclaimed control freak, Charlie sets her sights on a new boy. All she needs is a little Secret Santa magic- and the help of her arch nemesis, who also happens to be his cousin. Compared to classic literature, this isn't spectacular. But it succeeds in being what it sets out to be light, holiday fun. I'm a sucker for love/hate relationships, too!
