A Very Merry Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams

4.0

I loved The Bromance Book Club so when I saw that the series had a Christmas book I knew I needed to read it this year. Let me say, it was so cute. Gretchen being a grinch and Colton trying to make her fall in the love with the holiday was a very sweet premise and I appreciated how delicately Adams wrote about Gretchen's relationship with her family.

I loved that even though Colton is a musician I never have to read his lyrics. They just told me which songs were good and which were bad and I appreciated that. The grumpy/sunshine dynamic was very apparent and super cute until it got to be a bit old. After a while, the incessant grumpiness and optimism of Gretchen and Colton respectively felt a bit too strong and like they were digging their heels in.

I do wish this book was a little more Christmas-y. I felt there were a few small times Christmas was a thing, like when they went to see the Christmas lights and dance or when they decorated the tree, but I felt like a book that took place in a city like Nashville would have had a million fun Christmas things that could have been inserted for a bit more vibe.

Overall, though, I would recommend this book as part of your holiday reading next year.
