All I Want For Christmas by Beth Garrod
Did not finish book. Stopped at 5%.

This book is a massive ick... please proceed with caution. From the 22 awful pages I read, here are some of the ✨favourites✨:
- "Are you sipping on sonething gingerbread flavoured rn? If not, SORT IT OUT before reading another word - because this is about to get biiiig."
- "Not to blow my own Christmas trumpet here, but we looked A.May.Zing"
- "And OH. MY. JINGLE. BELLS"
- the whole of page 11 and 12

Not to mention at least 5 mentions of instagram accounts on each page... all of which are out of date and overall cringey.

To summarise, it sounds like a middle aged author attempting to keep up "with the kids" and failing miserably. Please if you are any age over 12 do not read this.... save yourself.
