This was definitely my favorite Christmas book out of the three I squeezed in this holiday season. It was wholesome and cheesy (slightly too much at times). The characters and relationship dynamics were my favorite. ( )

When two heroines switched lives by living with each other's families, they didn't expect their lives to change. The U.S.-born heroine is a social influencer and to gain more followers, decided to switch lives with one of her U.K.-born followers. Both are trying to escape their own problems. Will they find resolutions and love during the holidays?

This is an enjoyable YA holiday romance. Each heroine were distinct and their individual journeys throughout the book were entertaining to read in different ways. It has that holiday vibe flowing throughout the story and that vibe definitely made the story better. I did think that it needed more details in certain parts and that some other parts were not really necessary in the story. Overall an entertaining read.

"Is it so wrong to put a Santa hat on a shriveled pumpkin?"

This book, a retelling of The Holiday for teens, is a super cute serving of Christmas cheer. Instagram influencer Elle's rebuilding her Instagram account, @oneelleofatime, after she shut down her last one after some harsh bullying. When she gets invited into a competition with some fellow influencers, she's determined to do whatever it takes to win it, even if it means a bold move like swapping places with a stranger in Britain for a few weeks.

Holly's obsession with Christmas leads her to own a large collection of Christmas jumpers and create a detailed, color-coded spreadsheet for her and her two best friends to follow to have the best Christmas every. But this year, Holly's reeling from finding out the ex-boyfriend she hoped to win back has moved on, so when she gets the chance to try out a new life in America, she jumps on it.

As each girl gets embroiled in the other's life, they get the chance to meet new romantic possibilities. Holly's ex seems pretty into Elle, but so is a fellow influencer and Holly's awkward bestie, Fred. Meanwhile, Elle's brother, the brooding Nick, keeps tagging along on Holly's Christmas adventures. Holly's quirky love of Christmas creates some great moments for her storyline.

However, on the other side of the ocean, the more momentum Elle gains in the competition, the more it seems like history might be repeating itself. Someone may be out to get her . . . again. Each girl will have to sort through who can be trusted and what their heart really wants.

This light, fun read is the perfect heartwarming book to cuddle up with on a cold day.
