The Twelve Dates of Christmas by Jenny Bayliss

3.0

*3/5*

So.. I bumped this up to a 3 because I loved the uniqueness and the twelve dates leading up to Christmas.

But, the actual love interest was so glaringly obvious.. like neon sign obvious which made going in to the dates less fun. And the actual love interest was kind of a jerk for chunks of the book.

This is also very closed door.

Another thing sticking out in my brain was the dates. The activities were awesome but

Spoiler

the men were basically all trash. Many were still in love with exes and Kate helped those couples get back together.. it happened like 3 or 4 times. And then we had two mega-jerks. I get we are supposed to root for Matt but out of 12 dates, the majority were duds. Not saying she would find amazing dates, time after time.. but even if they weren't in love with an ex, one asked to be switched to another person's date, one was a control freak, one was threatened by someone Kate was seeing and couldn't enjoy himself (don't even get me started on the threatening and Kate forgiving that).. ugh!!!!
