Хареса ми, по ска̀лата на захаросаните коледни истории тази беше 4/5. Чудесен превод и бележки под линия, на места предсказуема, но предвид жанра това е напълно очаквано.

Ok, so this was my last festive read for this year, and I rattled through it in 24 hours!
I found it really refreshing to read a rom-com written from a male perspective and I found myself rooting for all the main characters to find their happy-ever-after!

I really really really enjoyed reading this book.
It was so funny and heartwarming and although it got slightly annoying by the end, it made for a fun read.
The book follows Nick, a 30 year old lawyer living in London. He's been fired from his job and is having a hard time finding a new one. He eventually gets hired as Santa at a local mall where he meets 4 year old Alfie and his mom, Sarah. Although he feels an instant connection with her, he ends up hooking her up with his best friend and flat mate, Matt.
While the book title might suggest Christmas time shenanigans, there's not much festive stuff in it. Everything enfolds throughout one year, starting and ending in December, around Christmas.
I absolutely loved Nick, he's hilarious and smart and so freaking loyal. He's trying so hard to reel in his attraction and feelings for Sarah because he doesn't want to hurt neither Sarah, nor Matt. His relationship with Alfie is so natural and beautiful.
What I didn't like and ultimately made me rate this 4 stars is the prolonged love triangle. I didn't quite get it, to be honest. I mean, Sarah could have easily said no to continuing her relationship with Matt if she realised she had feelings for Nick.
Anyway, this was a quick and light read that put a smile on my face, and although the ending was a bit rushed and cliché, I still enjoyed it overall.
One last thing.. I feel cheating is taken way too lightly here. I have more opinions on that but for the sake of avoiding spoilers, I'll refrain from further comments.

This was such a sweet friends to lovers/ single parent rom com. I loved Nick and Sarah, they were so good together first as friends and in the end as more. Usually I would not be in to a romance where the couple spent most of the story apart and one of them with a other partner, but it just worked for this story.

Така обикновено хората ме възприемат като Гринч, а всъщност не е така. Може да не украсявам винаги, но обичам купуването на подаръци, коледните чаши и пижами и моментите сгушена с коледна книга и напитка.
"Всичко, което искам за Коледа" беше една от онези мили и топли коледни истории. Малко захарна, силно симпатична и хич не от онези обидно предвидими истории чиито следствия знаеш от страница 5 до края. В тази книга има толкова топлина. Прекрасният малък Алфи иска само едно нещо за Коледа, майка му да е щастлива. И тук започват приключенията за Ник.

This romantic comedy was just what I needed. I loved the heartwarming moments, the banter between Nick and Matt, and little Alfie was just adorable. I smiled, cried a bit, and laughed a lot together with the characters in the book.
Even though it’s not Christmas in every chapter of the book, the festive spirit was extremely clear. I’d definitely recommend this book!
