LOVED this book. It was the perfect uplifting holiday read, and it really got me in the Christmas spirit.

There are couple of okay moments but overall boring and feels so long.

this is a cute book! definitely nothing fantastic, but i enjoyed reading something simple and straightforward. :)
the writing was definitely not my favorite. i hated the supposed “modern language” and i found quite a few writing mistakes. the characters were nice, but not super memorable. holly and elle had nice character development though.
i thought the concept was really cool, but personally, i don’t think it was executed incredibly.
i’m sure there’s better books out there (and if you want something with a similar concept, i recommend the movie the princess switch), but if you’re just looking for something simple to read, then this is a good option. <3 *ੈ✩‧₊˚

I shouldnt have picked this book up without reading the synopsis - i knew it wasnt for me shortly into starting it. Its cute, and if the blurb interests you, youll probably enjoy it.

This was a fun and easy read.
I liked everything about the book except for two things:
1. The girls were wayyy too obsessed with social media. It consumed their lives. I would have liked less talk about social media and more talking about whatever Christmas things people do in Christmas books.
2. Sometimes the girls were written so annoyingly. I don't know if the author knows how 16-year-old girls actually sound and talk like. I think she got her information from some TV show.
Other than that, it was pretty enjoyable.

This book reminded me of the movie The Holiday, only with teenagers. It felt awfully unlikely the events of this novel would ever happen in real life (where were the parents? how could a countries swap by teenage girls - who were strangers - ever be a thing?)…but that’s what I liked most about it!! The jokes were fun, the cheesy references were aplenty, and I thoroughly enjoyed this Christmas switcheroo with Elle & Holly.

Picked this book up at the bookstore. The back read like any normal chick lit fiction book, so I was bummed when I later realized it was written for 14 year olds(teens & high school not mentioned on back of book). I must have snagged it from a teen table and not realized.
Tried to give it a go but the social network, follower bullshit stuff that now permeates high schools and teens is not my idea of an interesting plot point.
Will be donating to the library for actual teens to enjoy.

I have received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Blame It on the Mistletoe seemed like it was going to be a cute romcom. I was pretty excited to jump into it since Christmas is basically just around the corner. Unfortunately, I just didn't connect to anyone or the story. Which, yes, is a bit disappointing since I hyped myself up for it.
In it, you will meet Elle and Holly. One moves all the time and is trying to rekindle her relationship with Scrooge. Oh, I mean her brother Nick. The other loves all things Christmas and writes pretty fantastic Christmas cards. Both have problems they deal with daily, and they need a break. Stat!
Now I'll admit that I did get the Holiday vibes, but I definitely liked the movie a lot more than this. I just feel like things were overdone or overdramatic at times. Even though things moved at a fast pace, I still found myself being bored with what was going on.
In the end, I just wish that I liked this a lot more than I originally did.
