The Summer of Christmas | 
bailed2⭐️ I‘m officially DN effing this book at 48%. I just can‘t take it anymore. Our main gal Ivy is jealous, semi-conniving, selfish, and a few other adjectives I can‘t think of. She‘s a screenwriter who wanted to stay in LA. She had been dating Nick since they were in eighth grade. They went from best friends to boyfriends to lovers to broken up. She was planning on asking Nick to stay in California with her while she became a script writer but⬇️
LibrarianRyan Nick had a family in a winery back where they both grew up in New York. So eventually after college they split. Ivy didn‘t take it well, and wrote her first screen play when Mary met Joseph about the relationship. However, she killed off Joseph in her script. The real Nick didn‘t die. He‘s back at his winery. Now it‘s five years later and Ivy, who is dating Drew the producer, is finally getting her film made. It‘s being made in her hometown. This 2y
LibrarianRyan sets out to be a fun summer but Christmasy romcom. They‘re making a Christmas kind of movie in July but it just doesn‘t work for me. Ivy really really annoys me. She‘s dating Drew but tries to make Nick jealous by kissing Drew and just know thank you. She‘s constantly comparing her current boyfriend Drew to Nick. It‘s just it‘s annoying. Nick‘s character I don‘t mind so much. Does he start dating the movie start playing ivy? I don‘t know if you‘ 2y
LibrarianRyan say dating but at least hanging out and the movie star is a little forward. There are times when things are supposed to seem steamy, and they come off more raunchy. In general I did not like this. I am not enjoying it. I‘ve given it 50% and I just don‘t want to listen to another 5 1/2 hours. That‘s the other thing this story is long. Every character has to have a backstory with a love interest and get their own mini story within the story. I would 2y
LibrarianRyan rather those all been short Novelas and this had been shortened up. It‘s been over five hours And I love the village in the town and all the side characters but we don‘t need so much about them. This book is too long the main characters atrocious and I‘m not enjoying it so I‘m not finishing it. 2y
