Resting Scrooge Face by Meghan Quinn
4.0
funny lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Loveable characters: Yes

Coming off of a bad break up, Nola returns to her hometown of Bright Harbor, Maine and is far from being in a festive mood. Caleb, the resident handyman and ex boyfriend of Nola, is a bit of a grinch when it comes to the holidays and decides to unload these thoughts into the universe by writing a letter to Christmas itself penned as Resting Scrooge Face. Told in alternating POVs through a mostly epistolary format, Nola and Caleb unknowingly become pen pals discussing their mutual dislike for all things festive. Will revealing their true identity falter the connection they've managed to rekindle through these letters?

'Tis the season for holiday romances and this one certainly hits the spot. Resting Scrooge Face is a very sweet, charming, & utterly delightful Christmassy novella! The perfect book to read in one sitting while sipping hot cocoa next to your seasonal decor. If you are a fan of second chance romances, dual POV stories, small town vibes, and a little spark of the holiday spirit, be sure to pick this one up!
