All I Want for Christmas by Maggie Knox
3.0
3.5 stars
All I want for Christmas is a holiday romcom in which you have two competitors in a singing program that doesn’t like much each other, but have to do a duet together. They performed so well that the producers of the show ask them to pretend to be a couple in order to get more views for the show.
Ok… I’m getting to the point that I might have read a lot of romcoms and I think a lot of them start to seem the same thing. However, there were a few nice things that happened here that I didn’t see in other novels.
First, the guy, to de-stress, likes to crochet. I thought it was so adorable to include something that is viewed by the society as a feminine hobby to be his hobby! And listen guys, he wears still super hot and desirable!!
The big issue for me is the miscommunication trope that was used not once, not twice but at least3 times in this book. For a moment I thought they had the star crossed trope, but no.. it was just them jumping to conclusions, missing opportunities to open up and plain bad pride issues.
I did like to see some “me too” movement included in this book and how that was dealt.
I know the time to read this book has “passed” since we are in January, but IO think it’s a nice light recommendation for the holidays!
