Camille's Reviews > The Holiday Mix-Up

Thank you NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Casablanca for an ARC of The Holiday Mix-Up.

It was a Hallmark-y, Sweet, Christmas rom-com à la "While You Were Sleeping". (No Spice! Which isn't a bad thing, but I KNOW PEOPLE ASK "but is it spicy?")

Katie is asked to pose as her favorite diner's girlfriend for Christmas dinner, but basically when he walks out the door, he is hit by a van. Well Katie heroically pushes him so he doesn't become holiday-roadkill, no he's in a coma and Katie is stuck with his family swinging in and pulling her into all the Christmas festivities, while Juan is in a coma. But not everyone in the family is feeling quite so holly jolly about Katie joining in. ENTER THE BROTHER, ensure the shenanigans.

I did feel like the author could have let some of the story/information unfold in a more organic or natural way. I did feel like I was being told things, rather than experiencing them.

I had a good time with The Holiday Mix-Up and I hope others do too!

What to Expect:
-Northern California Winery Setting
-Meddling, Yet Loving Family Members
-Deep Love & Pride for Latino Heritage
-Fake Relationship
-Gotta Save the Family Business
