The Christmas Clash is a heartwarming and enjoyable adventure. Chloe and Peter have never gotten along- they come from opposing restaurant families. But when their shared mall home is threatened, they must work together to try and save both restaurants. Along the way, Chloe gets to know the real Peter behind his smiles and Peter sees how deeply Chloe cares for her family. Can they save the mall before it's too late?

The Christmas Clash is a perfect lighthearted read for the holidays. Chloe and Peter manage to balance the struggles of the mall along with the pressures of being in high school and attempting to navigate a future. My favorite part of the book was the nuanced portrayal of their families and how they always did their best, whatever that looked like. Chloe and Peter have plenty of cute moments between them as they advocate for the mall owners, many of whom struggle to understand the legal documents they have been presented with. The Christmas Clash would be ideal for readers who love the holidays, unlikely alliances, and a sweet romance.
