bailed

This was a book club pick and I hate not finishing the book club books but this one (and this author) just isn‘t for me.

3.5 ⭐ This is a fun and cute read. It is a YA romcom. While it is set at Christmas, this book could be placed at any other time and the story would still be the same. I think selling it at Christmas is more of a marketing ploy, then integral to the story. This story is about two teenagers, whose families do not get along. It‘s not quite a Hatfield and McCoy type thing, but there is a business deal gone wrong decades ago. ⬇

LibrarianRyan These two teenagers have been raised very similarly. They have both been raised in the food court of the mall where both their parents‘ run restaurants. However, malls are a thing of the past and many are closing down, disappearing, being torn down, etc. and this mall is no exception. However, these two teens are going to find a way to save the family business and save the mall. This book was a bit of a slow start. It sets out to make you think it 1y

LibrarianRyan it‘s going to be an enemies to lovers trope and it‘s not. This book is one that many will read for the holiday cover and title, but it will be a flash in the pan that is not found on library shelves in a few years. Overall, I did like it, but I would‘ve taken the Christmas out of it and set it at a different time. Say the end of the school year. and in all honesty, On my Hallmark movie scale, this is pure Nickelodeon. 1y

YA romance
Enemies to lovers? The two MCs got on well early on. 🤔

Not for me.

3.5/5

Chloe and Peter's families are restaurant rivals in the Riverwood Mall food court, but with the mall facing potential demolition, Chloe and Peter have to work together to save the mall by Christmas. This is a very fun holiday read. I enjoyed all of the side story lines and how everything went together in the end.

so-so

There wasn't really anything special about this book. It was just okay, but it isn't the worst thing I've read. I wish there had been a little more of a Christmas feel to it.

so-so

I will say that many of the characters were well-written. Sadly, I was expecting more from this story than it offered. It‘s clearly supposed to focus on the enemies-to-lovers trope, but I felt like neither the enemies aspect, nor the lovers aspect, were done well. While I read an ARC version, a lot of the writing was incomprehensible, which drew my attention away from what was happening in the novel.
