Talk Santa to Me by Linda Urban
fast-paced
2.5
NOT FOR ME.

I think I’m calling it on trying to read YA contemporary holiday books. I have been let down a few too many times.
This book was short, and full of wanderings that didn’t help the plot at all. Which made the book boring and feel long. I didn’t need snippets about work uniforms or multiple pages of the letters begin written to kids (they weren’t different). I wanted more character growth, more relationships, and an overall better dynamic.
And if you thought this had romance, it really doesn’t. Francie kind of pines after someone for most of the book and then sometime after halfway they kissed. Very anticlimatic.
No point of continuing this review. I’ve moved on from this book.
Overall audience notes:
- YA Contemporary Holiday Fiction
- Language: a little
- Romance: kisses
- Trigger/Content Warning: loss of a loved one (recounted)
