The Decoy Girlfriend by Lillie Vale
4.0

I adored Nick and Noel’s Christmas Playlist last year, so I was thrilled that Nick’s sister Merry got her own story. This book starts with Merry back in her hometown of Mistletoe, Idaho, ready to find love with very few options. Of course the one man who seems like a good one is the foreman on her family’s Christmas tree farm. Clark is a single dad who might be ready to get back out there. He signs up for a dating app, and ends up connecting with Merry.

Christmas meets You’ve Got Mail…it doesn’t get any cuter than this. The whole town of Mistletoe is filled with the best side characters and so much holiday spirit. I loved getting to know the Winters family even more and seeing glimpses of Nick and Noel. And I was so happy to get to see more of Merry. I loved her big heart and kindness. She was the perfect match for Clark. Also, I was laughing out loud at the voodoo peens #IYKYK. This was a great book to start my holiday reading for the year!

Thanks to Sourcebooks Casablanca for the advance copy!
