I've never really understood the concept of hate-watching/reading until this book. It centers around the "troubles" of absolutely vapid rich people on Nantucket. 

Aww you did too much insider trading? Your boyfriend bought you $200 boots for Christmas? You need to sell your historic inn for $4 million? Wahh wah wah

Also "standing rib roast" was mentioned thirteen (13) times in this 256 page book.

All I want for Christmas is to spend the holidays at a cozy, nutcracker filled in on Nantucket... is this sooo much to ask??

The first book in Elin Hilderbrand's Winter Street series follows the blended Quinn family as they prepare for the holidays. Each family member is facing their own personal turmoil this Christmas season, from getting caught kissing Santa Claus (Stepmom Mitzi) to.... having a boyfriend that doesn't text back (daughter Ava). Admittedly, not all drama is created equal.

WS is a four-star read during winter (see aforementioned nutcrackers and cozy Nantucket inn) and a two-star read any other time (see aforementioned Ava, who is whiny and annoying).
