The level of cheese was v high, but it is basically a hallmark movie in book form.

Hmmm... I really really enjoyed it up until the 87% mark because there the whole marriage nonsense came into play. After a week??? I mean, why couldn't he just ask her out?? Why the fucking rush?!!?!

It was a cutesy short story that just so happened to be free on Amazon. A little (okay a lot) unrealistic with the ending .. I mean

Bah, Humbug was a perfect Christmas read for me. It was fun and Christmasy and kind of ridiculous and I loved it. Everything happens really quickly, they fall in love right away and it was just amazing.
Lexi has just moved onto Christmas Street. She is like Martha Stewart and has her own show with decorating tips and such. She has moved with her two kids and she is in a good place in her life. She had married young, shortly after losing her family and it was not good. She had been trying to create a family for herself and it just didn't work out. She is now happy being single and raising her kids.
Kyle, the guy who lives next door, is a writer of a famous line of books that Lexi's kids love. When they first meet Kyle has just finished destroying Lexi's perfect snowman, only he didn't realize anyone had moved into the house next door. Kyle doesn't celebrate Christmas since he lost his mom over 20 years ago and the other residents of Christmas Street like to "Christmas" his yard. He thinks the snowman is the residents trying to make his yard more festive, not something that someone would be upset if it was destroyed. When he realizes his mistake he tries to fix it, but Lexi is irrationally upset about it and holds onto that anger for a while. She won't even listen to him. Then when she finds out he is her neighbor and the author her kids love she is not very happy. It was kind of hilarious.
Of course neither of them really want a relationship, but with the help of Christmas magic they fall in love and live happily ever after! Lexi helps Kyle learn to love the holidays again and Kyle is just great with Lexi. I loved it. If it were a different time of year, a different setting, it wouldn't work as well. But Christmas time? I love it. I love the cheesy, quick romance. I love the holiday magic. I really enjoyed this Christmas read.

I feel like it started off strong and then the writer rushed to the ending. I would have found the ending more plausible if the story took place over at least a few more weeks.

A cute simple heartwarming mushy book with no intellectual value but sometimes that is just what you need. Simple and sweet.
