I received a free copy of this book, and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
This was a fun and amusing Christmas read! It's a short, sweet romance about a redneck family Christmas where plenty of things go wrong for an unsuspecting boyfriend who's just trying to propose.
When Lacie's boyfriend surprises her by showing up at her family Christmas, she's not as enthusiastic about it as he expected. She never told him about her redneck family and had planned on keeping it that way. Meanwhile, Collins is determined to propose to her and wants to get close to her family first. However, nothing goes right for the couple, and chaos seems to follow them everywhere.
This book has quite the cast of characters! Lacie has a large, quirky family, and all of her and Collins's interactions with them were hilarious. The town itself is a small, southern town in the middle of nowhere with plenty of unique characters as well. The redneck/southern vibes were well-written, and I think this book makes for a pretty entertaining Christmas read!
There were a few tropes that I didn't really care for, but I was still able to enjoy the story overall. I'd suggest this book if you're looking for a quick, fun Christmas read, especially if you're from the south/a small town!

This one is so much fun, y’all 😁
If you enjoy Southern fiction pick this one up. I have laughed til I’ve cried at all the accurate depictions of rural southern life 😂
Lacie is a weather girl from rural Alabama living in Atlanta. She is in love with Collins, a general surgeon that she’s been dating for a year. Collins plans to propose on Christmas Eve and surprises Lacie by showing up at her parent’s house while she’s there visiting for the holiday. He’s never met her family before and he is quickly introduced to rural southern life and Lacie’s eccentric family.
I couldn’t get enough of G-Maw and her sweet tea, the Piggly Wiggly and Dollar General references and all the other southernisms that Kaci Lane absolutely nailed 🤣 The cast of characters is a bunch I’d say I’ll miss but I can assure you I’ve got them all in my family already 😅
4/5 ⭐️ - I liked it and it made me LOL!
