Bloom Books How My Neighbor Stole Christmas

- Grumpy/sunshine- Banter- Christmas romance- BANTER- Small town- ALL THE BANTER- Lederhosen- Candy Canes- Enemies to lovers- Fake datingIf you only read one Christmas book this year, make sure it's this one. I laughed and swooned and fanned myself. Meghan Quinn is the queen of romantic comedy, but after this book, I think she needs a new tiara. I loved this book so much! The beginning of each chapter was in Grinch like rhyme. A few times the "narrator" even got sassy with Cole. Just spectacular!Storee has come to the small Christmas town where her aunt lives. Her aunt needed some care after a fall. Storee and her sister reluctantly agree to stand in for their aunt in the town's annual Kringle contest, in which the residents of town compete in Christmas themed activities for the coveted title of Christmas Kringle.Aunt Cindy's super grumpy and super hot neighbor Cole typically avoids Christmas after losing his parents 10 years ago. But he and Storee had a disagreement around that time and he can't let her win the contest, so he enters as well.He and Storee try to undermine each other at every turn. When Cole gets the idea to appeal to the romantics in town and profess his unrequited love for Storee, things really start to get interesting...

This book def left its mark on me. The beginning was adorable, cheesy and hallmarky. It was the light hearted vibes I wanted for Christmas. The second half of the book was shocking to say the least. Some call it spicy, but it was borderline sour lol. Certainly NOT a romantic spice, if you ask me. And I’m certainly no prude. I probably would not want my teen daughter reading this. But, if I was a teen and read this I would’ve been thrilled to stumble on such smut. The dirty foulness of their escapades didn’t really fit with the cute vibe of the rest of the book. I would’ve NEVER thought something like that would come out of my mouth. Just beware. If you want raunchy, you will find it here, sandwiched between an adorable Christmas cutesy love story.

A romcom inspired by the Grinch? Yes please I am so in! I had so much fun reading this story! If you want something to bring some joy to your holiday season How My Neighbor Stole Christmas is an excellent pick.I loved reading about Kringletown and all its Christmas traditions! It is a town that really commits to its Christmas theme including a competition to see who can be the most Christmasy citizen of Kringletown. That alone was fun to read about but seeing Storee and Cole compete while also sort of fake dating but not really and also sort of being enemies but maybe falling for each other was really fun.If you like a lighthearted romcom, Christmas hijinks, meddling relatives, a small-town romance, or want to never look at a candy cane the same way this should be on your holiday TBR. I really want to move to this town for the holidays now!Thanks to Bloom Books!

𝟓/𝟓 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟I’m pretty sure Meghan Quinn is on Santa’s naughty list for writing this book and I will gladly join her for reading it! How My Neighbor Stole Christmas is a spin off of the Grinch but EVEN BETTER!Cole Black is not the merriest Kringle in town and his mood worsens when his Christmas nemesis, Storee Taylor, returns after 10 years to take care of her aunt who lives right next door. They end up in a Christmas competition where they go head to head, both determined to win. Their competitiveness shines through but so do some sparks and undeniable feelings. Do they stick to their initial plan, or let it all go?I could not stop laughing while reading this. Cole and Storee were hilarious and I love how they interacted with each other. The addition of the narrator was a perfect touch - I cannot wait to listen to the audio. And the spice? Ohhhh the spice! You won’t want to miss it! The story is a RomCom that includes enemies to lovers, fake dating and dueling neighbors. Don’t forget the spice 🥵 🔥 I highly recommend it!Thank you @meghanquinnbooks and @good.girls.pr for an ARC of this book. 💕🫶🏼

I LOVED this book! I don't think I can express how much! I read the entire book in two days! It was witty, with a strong/great description of the town. The banter was hilarious, I was laughing so much so often my cheeks hurt. The way Meghan writes is unique to me. I am 50/50 when it comes to romance/comedy. This was a million percent worth it! The narrator is one of my FAV parts also. So cleaver to add this in there :) If I could rate this more than 5 stars I WOULD. Recommending to everyone I know. Oh and the audible verison makes this book 100x MORE worth it! I am def trying more of her books :)
