Sarah Dessen meets Let It Snow in this new YA Christmas romance!When Finley Brown returned to her hometown of Christmas, Oklahoma, from boarding school, she expected to find it just as she left it. Christmas hasn't changed much in her sixteen years. But instead she returns to find that her best friend is dating her ex-boyfriend, her parents have separated, and her archnemesis got a job working at her grandmother's inn. And she certainly didn't expect to find the boy she may or may not have tricked into believing that Christmas was an idyllic holiday paradise on her grandmother's doorstep. It's up to Finley to make sure he gets the Christmas he was promised. This is Finley's Christmas. It's about home and family and friends and finding her place, and along the way she also finds the best Christmas present of all: love.
Review
Actual rating: 3,5So... this is cute!It was like watching a Hallmark movie, which does make sense since the author Tracy Andreen writes for Hallmark.Reading So, This Is Christmas was like taking a ride in a Time Machine that brought me back to 2013, the year I discovered ya contemporaries written in English (in case you didn't know, English is not my first language) and fell in love with them, took the turn and never got back...I can't even point why it is, but this book made me nostalgic...I loved, loved, loved the idea of a town called Christmas, and the comedy about it not living up to it's name made me enjoy reading about it so much.But seriously, wouldn't it be amazing to live in a town with a name and structure like that? I would love to be a resident there...The cast of characters was... likeable. I mean it, I liked everyone who appeared (although I couldn't understand some's way of thinking), and Finley was lovely narrator.This book was written in first person.Arthur was so polite and also mysterious but visible at the same time, it was pleasure to read about him.Since this is ya book there is some teen angst and some drama, which I do get, because it is not easy to come home and see your bff making out with your ex bf. Who would accept it nonchalantly anyway?However, I couldn't understand Finley's mother for the life of me. Like, you didn't see your daughter for months and now when she's home you're not there??Other than that, everything was sweet, funny, cute... delightful. Especially those cute moments between Finley and Arthur, and the end scene... it was just so... cute!
