Good Elf Gone Wrong
by Alina Jacobs
emotional
funny
hopeful
lighthearted
slow-paced
It reminds me of a hallmark film — the chaoticness, the big family, the dog, the family drama. I can see it as a film.
Gracie is adorable and smart, but the author pushes the boundaries of her being a doormat. Her parents are atrocious to her. Everything her sister does wrong is somehow Gracie's fault, which I don't understand. Her parents blame her sister's whorish behaviour on Gracie not being a good role model.
Hudson is a classic, bad-boy hottie, but while I love a spicy scene, it felt like he was just way overboard in playing a "bay boy" role. He was being overtly sexual in front of family, which I don't see how that would ever be possible.
At about 75%-80%, Gracie finally grows a backbone and when she stands up for herself, it's great. There's yelling, there's calling people out on their shit. Fabulous, but I wish we saw more of that throughout the book. It went from doormat behaviour to full-blown standing up for herself entirely.
This book could honestly knock off 150 pages and tighten the story a bit more and I think it would be much better. The spicy scenes could be written a bit better as well. For a virgin, Gracie sure is very sexual in the bedroom.
