The dialogue in this book made me want to pack up my life and fly to England to find the author and befriend them. Christopher’s ex assumed Haf is his new girlfriend and they both rolled with it, each for their own reasons. We are often surrounded by food during the Christmas period and there were discussions about Haf’s relationship with food within the book. Since Haf doesn't have better holiday plans and wants to save her new friend from embarrassment, she agrees to pretend to be Christopher's girlfriend for Christmas.
In an oops moment, Haf falls hard for Christopher’s sister which leads to more hilarity and sexy moments. Forgive some of the cheesiness but truthfully, I pictured a really good Christmas movie where everyone ends up happy and a great song plays over the credits. Die Lovestory war an sich total schön, hätte aber vom Gefühl her gerne noch einen Ticken mehr Tiefe haben können. Haf is described as neurodivergent and Make You Mine This Christmas has some great, important representations. There's a lot of comedy here that could come off as cringe, but because all of the leads are so genuinely nice and earnest, actually just comes off as charming and quirky.
Laugh out loud funny, clever dialogue, and a magnificent performance by Helen Keeley- who is now one of my favorite narrators. Exhausted from her crappy low-paid exploitative job and still reeling from a painful breakup, she’s feeling extremely sorry for herself. Das war total süß - daher ist der Untertitel “nur du und ich” eher ironisch gemeint, denn eigentlich sind immer auch viele andere Personen mit involviert, was zu einigen witzigen Situationen geführt hat.
The long-awaited second instalment in Samantha Shannon's Sunday Times and New York Times-bestselling series Tunuva Melim is a sister of the Priory. Haf was a great character, kind hearted and has learn to be unapologetic about who she is yet there’s still parts of her that dragged her down which added great balance.Drawing looks from both our cats and my husband, who then shrugged as they saw I was reading as I carried on sniggering to myself.
I'm not normally one for 'holiday romances', but my friend kept laughing as she was reading and eventually I gave in and bought myself a copy - and I'm so glad I did. Christopher is so sweet, and Kit is the perfect wannabe ice queen who can’t help but fall for the chaotic bisexual cinnamon bun. The reviews and comments posted on this site reflect the opinions of individual posters and do not reflect the views of Cannonball Read.Haf’s parents are warm and funny, Haf’s fake boyfriend is kind and thoughtful, and I really enjoyed how his parents and family resolve their differences in the end. There is so much to love about this book - the way that Haf loves everything with her whole heart, to the way she and Kit had such a perfect meet cute.
A thoroughly modern love story filled with joy, inappropriate Christmas jumpers and a daring reindeer rescue. Because although it is written with specific groups in mind, it is good enough to be read beyond that. After breaking up with her ex (who’s moved on immediately), starting a job shes drowning in and her parents deciding to go away for Christmas, she’s feeling stuck and alone. I love the relationships that develop between Haf, Christopher, and Kit, they’re really so sweet (and props to Jones for at least acknowledging the ridiculously fast-paced relationship with a self-deprecating U-Haul joke – that’s really all I need to get over the un-believability of it! She gets up to some serious shenannegans without even meaning to and I found myself laughing and covering my face with second hand embarrassment so many times (audio book superiority for me to do this and keep reading the book).All the extended characters in the novel are wonderful; Ambrose, Christopher, Kit, their parents… Such a varied group of people that really compliment Haf (and each other). Other than that - which is awesome obviously - it was full of the usual lovely tropes of this type of story and was enjoyably predictable.
Great Deal
