Lila Santos is ready for her last winter break of high school. The snow in her small town of Holly, New York, is plentiful, the mood is as cozy as a fuzzy Christmas sweater, and she's earning extra cash working at the local inn—AKA the setting of the greatest film of all time, Holiday by the Lake—while moonlighting as an anonymous book blogger. But her perfect holiday plans crash to a halt when her boss's frustratingly cute nephew, Teddy Rivera, becomes her coworker. Lila is type A; Teddy is type “Anything but Lila’s Way,” and the two of them can’t stop butting heads over tangled icicle lights and messy gift shop merch. But when they accidentally switch phones one afternoon, they realize they've both been hiding things from each other. Will their secrets—and an unexpected snowstorm—bring these rivals together?

    This one was cute and not bad. The last three chapters was a bit iffy for me but it was still enjoyable.

     As I am typing this, I am delighted by how meta this situation is. I’m reviewing a holiday book about a girl who reviews holiday books & lives in a town dedicated to a holiday book/movie. This is a cute, quick semi coming of age story that will delight lovers of hallmark & lifetime Christmas movies.
     
    This YA romantic comedy is a great representation of diversity, but also a large range of personalities within its characters. It touches on subjects of being true to who you are, and being flexible with life changes without hammering the lessons into the reader. It allows the reader to ingest the ideas presented but wrapped up in a pretty present (pun intended)
     
    To some (me included) it is never too early for the holidays, so here is a jump-start with a Spotify playlist I put together to compliment this book. Hope you check it out & enjoy!
