Was an easy Christmas read to get you in the mood for the holidays. Pretty much a Hallmark movie made into a book. Some parts of the plot were predictable, and I don’t think the romantic aspect was completely necessary. Comments surrounding weight/eating habits were also made, which didn’t make much sense and weren’t necessary at all.

I swear Mary Kay Adams books always get me out of a reading slump. Her writing is easy to follow and create a world you feel like you are living in along side the characters. The Santa Suit is a novela I’ve wanted to read since last year. I liked the story plot of a newly divorced woman moving to a small town and tackling a fixer upper farm house. The story behind the sant suit’s previous owner was magical and the ending had me tearing up. Love love love 💕

Adorable. That's the best word to describe this book. Definitely written for fans of HGTV and Hallmark Channel. There are things I could complain about, but there's really no reason. I feel like most readers know what they're getting themselves into when they pick up a book with a Santa suit as major plot point.

This was my first Mary Kay Andrews book, and I will definitely read her again.

I was ready to give this book three stars but two things stopped me: (1) Catfishing is not cute or romantic, even when all ends well; (2) Making the Roses, the town's Mr. and Mrs. Claus and keepers of all things Christmas, Jewish, was not only unnecessary to the story, but offensive. It's really a shame, because it's a cute story about starting over and restoring your faith in life.

not the best book out there but this is my first Christmas romances, lacking in the romance department but it was very funny. It felt like a hallmark movie idk but we do watch those movies every now and then, don't we?

the whole plot of the Santa suit was indeed nice and it made me feel all warm and happy, regardless of it all it was a nice read and I was going to give it only two stars but the whole little girl mystery gave me some hope (also I liked how it ended).

wtv, I'll keep reading my winter/christmas themed books

I was listening to epiphany by taylor swift & river (olivia rodrigo's version)

'kay, I'm out
bye
