The Christmas Clash is a YA Romcom but there's big emphasis on the young aspect. It's a cute story that's ultimately predictable just how we all know how a Cheesy Christmas movie is going to end.
I felt like the characters were a little too over the top. Like Suzanne Park got her idea of teen life from a 2000's teen comedy. Everyone was over the top and I couldn't relate to anyone. I am saying that as an adult reading a YA book, but a good YA book should speak to everyone and this fell a bit short.
In the end it was cute but skippable. Great for a younger audience but any more mature young adults and older should skip it
Thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for allowing me to read this in exchange for an honest review.
