Corporate Mandated Holiday Romance
Nellie Wilson
It's the most wonderful time of the year......to take down a billionaire.Brooklyn Peters has finally landed a spot at her dream company which will allow her to use her boring marketing skills to live her dream of saving the planet. When she catches the attention of the CEO, who happens to be her idol, she gets a close up peek at what is going on behind closed doors. Not only is the corporate wunderkind a creep, but he’s also actively working against everything Brooklyn believes in. Good thing she recently made the acquaintance of Max Matuschansky, a journalist who specializes in corporate reporting. The Christmas season provides a convenient excuse for Max to snoop around…as long as he’s comfortable being Brooklyn’s date to corporate “holiday” events. Which, as a proud Jewish man, he isn’t. But something about this story and Brooklyn makes him reconsider. Between Brooklyn’s crash course in teaching Max about Christmas traditions and late night writing sessions, the attraction between the two gets harder to ignore and maintaining their journalistic ethics is key to keeping them off the naughty list. There’s more at stake than just their hearts, because this season, it’s time to actually make the world a better place.

What a fun little holiday season book that takes the billionaire boss trope and turns it completely on it's head!! I loved that it really showed all the tropes that people love in a billionaire and made them all sound kind of sinister?! I loved that.
I really love Brooklyn and Max together, the banter was adorable and had me kicking my feet, twirling my hair and giggling for most of the book and it was so easy to fall for Max especially when stacked up against Aron.
I loved the Jewish representation in the book, and while I'm not Jewish myself I am someone who doesn't celebrate traditional Christian holidays and I was really excited to see a book that doesn't automatically default to a Christian/White Westernized view of "the holiday season", it was refreshing, and I loved that both Max and Brooklyn got to showcase their own values and traditions in a way that felt authentic.
Overall, this was one of my favorite reads of the year, and month, I only docked it about a half a star because when Brooklyn first contacted Max it felt a little sudden and I couldn't clock her motivation until later on in the book. Otherwise, it's a great read, and something I would recommend to my audience and friends.
0This novella is equal parts smart and sexy. It skewers the billionaire trope in a way that I’ve never seen before, and I am here for it. Critique of Christmas culture plus anti-capitalist plus compelling romance plus big millennial vibes.
