This book is so good! I have read and reread it so many times! It is a great romance book, and is the perfect book to get comfortable in a blanket with a mug of hot chocolate! ( )

Emery, the main character, hates Christmas, but is unfortunate enough to have been born in a family that is Christmas obsessed. While she is pretending to be an elf in the mall for her parents, she ends up meeting Alex, a boy in her school who loves Christmas and helps out at his grandfather’s hot cocoa shop. She doesn’t really like him at first and is adamant that Christmas isn’t for her, but Alex is determined to change her mind about sweetness of hot cocoa and the holiday season. He helps her with her Secret Santa problems and, to Emery’s surprise, she actually starts to like him. As Emery gets to know more about the people she never thought she’d be friends with (Alex, Nessa), and gets to know more about her crush, Sawyer, she starts realizing that maybe things aren’t the way she thought they were. And maybe, just maybe… the person she really wants isn’t Sawyer after all.
This is a very cute story about a Christmas loving boy reintroducing a Christmas hating girl to the magic of Christmas, learning that you may have more things in common with the people you thought were completely different from you, and learning not to judge a book by its cover. Emery and Alex’s relationship is very cute and this is by far my favorite book in this series. So cute! ( )

It was such a cute story!! ❤️ ( )

The chapter book is an easy read. It would be good for fourth or fifth grade students. It is an interesting story about a girl named Emery. She has a crush on a boy at the hot cocoa shop, next to the Santa photo booth she works at. She used to hate the Christmas holiday, but begins to enjoy it as her romance with Alejandro progresses. The moral of the story is to go after what you want, without changing yourself. There aren't many chapters in the book, so it is a fairly short read. ( )
