Very quick read—when I actually forced myself to read it (read two other books while reading this one). 
Follows the Sullivan Family through a chaotic 12 Days of Christmas.  After their mom died on Christmas Day 8 years before, their lives have never recovered… and their family has never celebrated Christmas again. In an effort to return the Christmas spirit, and hopefully Christmas gifts, 13 year old Ella and 14 year old Will decide to sign their dad up for a dating service. The chaos that ensues is truly unbelievable, but engaging nonetheless. The diction and prose read more similarly to a middle grade book, but that didn’t negate the fun quality of the book. It was sarcastic, quick chapters. Fun read! But not typical of what I expect from a James Patterson co-authored book.
