Booked for the Holidays by Chelsea Curto
3.0
lighthearted slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I would've loved this book had it been about 100 pages shorter. 

I know this is the third book Chelsea ever put out, so with that in mind, it's pretty dang cute. The plot, the characters, the possibility of more stories to unfold featuring our favorite meddling side characters. It was all holly, jolly perfection. 

It just didn't need to be almost 400 pages.

The slow burn could've been sped up, and a lot of the random fluff could've been left on the floor of the editing room. I found myself kind of wanting to skip to the end just to see them get their HEA rather than spend more time reading extra smut scenes.
