I tried, but I was just super bored and didn't find myself wanting to read this
This was a super fun, new adult, grumpy/grinchy sunshine queer holiday romance!! I loved the reality show vibes and the mall elf antics and the swoony M/M romance. Perfect for fans of authors like Timothy Janovski and anyone who wants a feel good holiday read with some depth. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital copy in exchange for my honest review!!
This was too cute and I loved every minute of it.

Cam, back from college for winter break, works through rekindled old feelings (and new) and a clash between his new college self and who he’s always been at home. I almost bailed after 15 minutes but decided to stick it out just a bit longer and wound up enjoying it. Such a fun holiday romance! The characters all grew on me quickly, and it was great getting to slowly step into each of their lives.

This is for cheesy Christmas movie lovers everywhere! It has basically everything you’d want from a 1 hr 30 romcom in a book. It has the predictable plot and silly antics as well as the cutest love interest.
“Finding My Elf” follows Cam as comes home from his first semester at NYU. His experience there wasn’t the best to say the least. There’s that aspect of having to keep that secret while also dealing a lot with self discovery. He takes an Elf job to try and make more money for NYU when he finds out they’ll be competing for 5 thousand dollars. There’s a lot of will they won’t they with that which was fun.
It wasn’t exactly anything special but I breezed through this and had a lot of fun. I’m never a big fan of the fast burn romance but the story is only set throughout two week so eh.
Overall, I would definitely reccomend if you like cheesy romances. This is especially perfect for this time of year!
