Christmas Romance Review: Christmas is All Around



Charlotte is not a holiday person. She hates all the hype, the activities, and especially the movies. She was a child star in one film - Christmas, Truly. After that experience, she never wanted to act again. So, when people want to create a sequel, she turns them down flat. Which annoys all the fans, so much so, that she's get death threats on social media and is accosted in the park. Charlotte flees to London to visit her sister for the holidays. 

There, she meets Graham. He has an idea that might help both of them. The more time she spends with him, the more she begins to fall for him. Could a Christmas romance change her feelings on the holiday? Will she be able to flee her past?
My Thoughts: The title is reminiscent of Love, Actually. And the book is set up that way too - there's a weekly countdown to Christmas. I Loved this book. I enjoyed that Charlotte hated all things Christmas because she was snarky about it all. But she did participate in so many Christmas activities. I love Christmas and Hallmark, but the snark was fun. I loved her family - baby Alice was very funny. I loved that Charlotte was an artist and you saw both her sketching and the business side of it. I loved the banter between Charlotte and Graham. The sheep! The carolers! This was such a fun read that I didn't want it to end. 

Cover Thoughts: Cute
