This was the perfect YA holiday read.
Lila is a hardworking high school senior working as much as she can in her tourist destination town when she meets Teddy, her bosses nephew when he becomes her coworker. They instantly clash with Lila wanting to do things as she always had and Teddy pushing her buttons and wanting to do things in his own way around the shop.
This story was a cute YA story but I found the book summary a bit misleading. I thought the phone switch would be more of the story and drama and not resolve so quickly, this lead to me reading this book feeling blindsided as the focus was not what I expected it to be on.
I liked the development and growth in confidence seen in Lila as she becomes more sure of herself and daring as the story goes on.
This is the perfect read for anyone over the age of 14 looking for a sweet, holiday romance.

Review:
for me it was the first time that I read a Christmas book. and it was really fantastic to read. to start with I loved the vibes, it takes place during the Christmas season and the beginning of the new year. and not only the vibes were amazing the location of where Lila works was incredible. I loved that is was a library and gift shop. further the character were fun to read about. with Lila I loved that she read and write about in her blog just like me. this book inspired me to make this blog. so thank you book!

A cute Christmas story about 18 year old Lila spanning her last winter break before she goes to college next year. With that in mind, her best friend Carm made a mission list for them to do over break. Enter Teddy, the owner's nephew, who will be there during his college winter break with his share of secrets. While working together Teddy mistakenly switches their phones, so he learns her secrets and she learns his. A quick read for the holidays.

When I picked this up, I didn’t realize how great this one would be. It was a wonderful holiday read, and the romance was cute. It was such an enjoyable book, and I couldn’t put it down.
