Good Elf Gone Wrong by Alina Jacobs
4.0

I was going to DNF this book and I'm so glad I didn't. Gracie was the biggest doormat but once I separated what she should do from what she was doing I really enjoyed the book. Gracie wasn’t supposed to be strong and smart and she was written as a great doormat. The grandmother was not funny, it was borderline harassment and was annoying. Especially with taking them to that bar. She was a drunk old lady who did too much in my opinion.

Gravie did so much work for free I don’t even know how she paid her bills. I would have helped Hudson bring the company down if everybody was getting paid but me when I did all the work. She was really the maid, the cook, and the wedding planner all for free while everyone disrespected her. Everyone in her family treated her horribly they all sat around and did the bare minimum even if they tried to help. In the end, it would have definitely ended with cutting my family off, at least the mom, dad, and sister because they were the worst in my opinion.

This was a painful read mainly because she was a pushover but at least the dialogue was good; annoying characters plus bad writing I would have really dnfed the book but this book was written well. Once I got over on everybody walking the fmc like a dog it was a very interesting plot that had me hooked and the spice scenes were great and not too much. Always referencing TikTok was kind of annoying though but this was a 4.5 stars for me and was a great Christmas read.
