Review of Christmas As We Know It by Sarah Sutton

 

Meet Me Under the Mistletoe


Christmas as I know it is blown away with the winter wind when my mom drops a bomb the size of the Rockefeller Tree—we’re going to Florida for winter break, AKA the land of no snow. And since this is the last Christmas season of my high school career, my last chance to spend the holidays with my friends before we all go off to college, the news is anything but merry and bright.

There is one silver lining, though. Bentley, the sweet and kind guy I’ve been crushing on for years, is in my volunteer group for the annual Winter Festival. And did I mention his love for Christmas just might rival my own? Even though I’ll be missing out on the Winter Festival, being paired with Bentley almost makes it worth it.

Until something happens with Jason, my best friend since elementary school. Something that may or may not involve an almost kiss. Jason’s the opposite of jolly, the Grinch to my Mrs. Claus, and though every year I have to drag him along for the Yuletide ride, this December, he’s grumpier than ever about the holidays.

But the closer I get to Bentley, and the more it looks like Jason and his ex are getting back together, the more unsure I am about who I want to ring in the new year with.

Maybe all I need is the magic of a mistletoe kiss to make up my mind. Or better yet, a Christmas miracle…
 
My Review:  5 STARS
I have read all of Sutton’s other books and so when I had space to pick this one up, it was an auto-buy! I adored the dynamic between Mimi and Jason, and loved the twists and turns along the story. The plot was engaging and delightfully festive even though I read it out of season. I loved the romance, the setting, the character arcs and the way it all came together in swoon-worthy romance. Overall, another hit from Sutton and one that I recommend to all who love romance with a Christmas twist to it!
