NEW: The Plight Before Christmas by Kate Stewart

OUR REVIEW:

Shel: The Plight Before Christmas is a wonderful Christmastime second chance romance that will have you crying with laughter and with all the feels. Whitney and her family are a huge source of hilarity; her siblings and their sibling shenanigans capture the perfect blend of sibling rivalry and love--most of us who have close sibling relationships will recognize many aspects of their relationships and appreciate who perfectly Kate Stewart captured them. That being said, Whitney's dad and his relationship with Alexa (and the family emails) just cracked me up and added a lot of levity. The comedy was much needed because the romance between Whitney and Eli was truly a slow burning one, filled with flashbacks and angst. I have to say, though, that I really appreciated Whitney's hesitancy and I actually liked how long she fought off her impulses; her reluctance made sense and made their happily ever after that much more happy, especially with the way their prior relationship ended. I also really appreciated the way Eli approached the entire set up--from scoring an invite with to spend Christmas with Whitney's family to waiting out her anger and fear and winning every member of the family over. 

 

Court: Insta love this was not, and the journey really hit me in the feels. I agree with Shel, and this is exactly why Kate Stewart is one of our absolute favorites because she has the ability to write such a well rounded world where we love the main characters, and secondary characters and everything in between because we just get SO MUCH! But also, the laughs, the tears...ugh, I did not want this book to end. (I too especially loved how much I loved Whitney's Dad, and everyone's ability to eavesdrop on each other was pretty hystical!) 

Shel: All in all a fun romantic comedy that will have you smiling and tearful and happy by the end--a great read for the Christmas break. Court: Right! And do not assume this is a fluffy Christmas book...this is a meaty story, and I truly loved it! It had elements I didn't expect, and hit all of my buttons on what I love in a great book! Check it out as soon as you can!

BLURB:

Clark Griswold was onto something, at least with his annual holiday meltdown. And since the last three weeks of my life have been riddled with humbug—another breakup, a broken toe, an office promotion I deserved and didn’t get—I’m not at all in the mood to celebrate nor have the happ, happ, happiest Christmas EVER. 

When Mom insisted that we all gather at my Grandparent’s ancient cabin for an old school family Christmas, I fully intended to get into the holiday spirit with the help of the three wise men, Johnnie Walker, Jack Daniels, and Jim Beam. But those boys did absolutely nothing to offset the shock or temper the sting of seeing my EX on our doorstep the first day of our holiday soiree. 

Apparently, Santa missed the memo, and this elf is pissed.

Stuck for a week with the man who obliterated my heart nearly two decades ago, I did the only thing I could do and put on my game face, thankful for the home advantage.

I knew better than to drink that last cup of eggnog.

I knew better than to get tongue tangled beneath the mistletoe with the only man to ever break my heart.

I knew better than to sleep with Satan’s wingman on the eve of the Lord’s birthday.

I could blame the nog. I could blame the deceitful light blue eyes, thick, angelic hair, and panty evaporating smirk…but mostly, I blame Eli because he always knew exactly which of my buttons to push.

I foolishly thought a family Christmas filled with nostalgia was going to turn my inner Scrooge around, but this year’s festivities went up in flames. Leave it to the ghost of my Christmas past to be the one to light the match. 

Fa la la la la, la FML.
