Summer Hates Christmas by Rachel Dove

3.0

I have mixed thoughts on this book. I enjoyed certain aspects of it but those tended to be smaller parts such as the other character’s POVs such as Summer’s friend. She had great insights and a compelling storyline I wish there was more of. I didn’t see any of the twists coming which made the book more exciting and I was really invested in a resolution regarding her family. However, I found that the romance was a little underwhelming since Summer was super mean and then Noel would apologize which I found slightly odd. I also feel that her past took too long to come forward without enough emphasis on why she hates Christmas so much. In conclusion, it was an interesting read but I didn’t connect to it in the way I hoped.

Thank you to BoldWood books and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
