Resting Scrooge Face by Meghan Quinn
funny
lighthearted
fast-paced
“Maybe I’m lonely. Maybe it’s the holidays, or maybe it’s the way that letter spoke to me, but Resting Scrooge Face caught my attention, and for some reason, I want to write back.”
- Resting Scrooge Face
Tropes: Holiday Romance, Second Chance, Epistolary, Small Town
Spice Scale: 🫑
Resting Scrooge Face was wholesome, festive, and had no third act breakup, which made it the perfect quick holiday read. The small Christmas town was the perfect setting for a love story between two Scrooges. Caleb had total Luke from Gilmore Girl’s vibes, too, which was great. I loved the witty letters back and forth. They acted as a great way to move the story forward through showing rather than telling and gave the book a You’ve Got Mail feel. My only complaint, which is more a warning than a complaint, was the lack of spice. Meghan Quinn is known for writing some amazing sex scenes, so if you’re going into this expecting spice, you won’t find any. Resting Scrooge Face keeps things basically PG. However, it’s still cute and witty, so I definitely recommend it.
