A Very Grumpy Christmas by Jerica MacMillan
4.0
A Very Grumpy Christmas is the first Christmas-themed story I've read, at least from my memory, and it didn't disappoint. Christmas is weird for me. I love Christmas movies and will watch them year-round. Mainly for the cheesy, heart-warming factor. I believe it applies to books as well. The holiday itself, though, I'm not too fond of for a personal reason.
This ending from the summary had some of my favorite buzzwords. Sarah is the definition of sunshine. She works in a Christmas shop and moonlights as an elf. Shane is grumpy, but he has a reason to be. He was living his life, and suddenly, he became a single parent to his youngest sister. So even though we see Shane and Sarah's relationship, it's also about Sophie's life and grief.
Sophie is the star of the story. I'm uncertain if it will be a thing, but I would love Sophie's book. Shane and Sarah's miscommunication irked me. But I think that has more to do with my mood as I read A Very Grumpy Christmas. Besides that, I enjoyed my overall experience. It was just what I needed to take me away from everything.
A Very Grumpy Christmas is about grief, love, family, and the magic of Christmas. There are some sad moments, but you know it will have a happy ending. It will put you in a holiday mood.
A Very Grumpy Christmas is a standalone, small town, neighbors to lovers romance featuring a grumpy single dad and the sunshiny neighbor who's determined to make his Christmas better. Full of heat and heart with an HEA guaranteed!
