It’s just okay. This is an easy, lighthearted read but with minor racial micro aggressions. The writing isn’t winning any awards and the story isn’t very exciting.

I much prefer the movie, but this was a fun and short read for right before Christmas! I'm a slow reader but I read it in two days and with not having a lot of time in those days to read.
Luther is an absolute jerk in the book and several parts of it very much did not age well, but Nora is hilarious as well as ~spoiler~ the scramble after Blair calls to say she's coming home with Enrique. The last act really redeemed it for me. I really didn't think I would ever reread it up to that point because I just couldn't stand Luther, but now I think I may read it every year for the holidays.

Luther is a very dated man written to be a "bro's bro" kind of guy and a lot of the book is from his point of view. Just keep that in mind. The movie toned him down quite a bit. I was very surprised by some of his pov.
