This is by far the worst book I've read this year, and is a strong contender for worst book I've ever read.
I think it's supposed to be funny/charming, but in reality it's so bad it's painful to read. I literally changed one of my choices because I realized that it would let me be finished with this.
Normally books I don't like I can still see why someone would enjoy it, however I can't imagine any enjoying this as it didn't have any redeeming qualities. I've read some pretty bad fanfiction that was less painful to get through than this was.

This is the first book I intentionally picked up for humorous writing. I enjoyed skipping around or choosing to read multiple endings. I thoroughly enjoyed the relevant (Peloton & Uber were in the book) and punny jokes. Reading the book was akin to playing a piece of classical music with musical roadmaps. Performing classical music pieces for Christmas was my idea of a Christmas tradition: my mother hosted Christmas concerts. My cousins, brother, and I had to play our instruments for our parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles before getting our Christmas presents. I no longer practice music diligently, but reading this book brought back memories of Christmas performances.

Funny, sarcastic well observed. Would make a good secret Santa gift.

Quite possibly the most amazing Christmas story(ies) I’ve ever read. Super cheesy, super punny, and super Hallmark. A must read if you want a Christmas laugh!

An interactive book, but without as many choices as I would have liked

This was a fun read for the holidays. It was super sarcastic (almost annoyingly, at some points) but also hilarious, especially if you are a connoisseur of Hallmark movies. The “choose your own adventure” aspect wasn’t the best. There wasn’t a lot of options with the choices and they didn’t affect the storyline too much.
