How the Grump Saved Christmas by Claire Kingsley
2.0
This book started off so strong and I was so invested, even though the title already spoils it for you. But once I got to the middle, it all went downhill.
*massssssssive spoilers ahead*
*please don’t read ahead if you intend to read this book*
*if you have read this book, welcome to me venting*
Okay, so I really enjoyed learning about Isabelle and Elias’ history. It was so emotional, especially to those who have been through similar situations. But this book was the cherry on top for my worst nightmare.
Miss. Communication was in the building and she didn’t disappoint. I will never understand how book couples just don’t talk to each other. You both just suffered an incredible loss, whether you were ready to be parents or not. But just up and leaving is the best solution? Okay.
Also, am I the only one that didn’t care about Isabelle’s friends and the fact that one of them is dating a “rival family”?! Who cares. NEXT.
Oh, someone’s son went missing for 3 seconds out of nowhere? NEXT.
OH, and Isabelle’s mom & Elias’ boss used to have a relationship decades ago & he’s still salty that she chose to marry another man? NEXT.
I’m really bummed that this book didn’t do it for me. I’m really bummed I wasted my time on it too.
