Christmas Is All Around by Martha Waters is cute! Charlotte hates Christmas partially because her parents didn't make good memories during the holiday and partially because she starred in rom-com set during the season when she was a child that the fans will never let her forget. She escapes to London after she's outed as the reason why the sequel is not happening. While in London she meets Graham who is helping his family save their estate. Graham hires Charlotte to paint Christmas movie themed estates for them to sell in the house and while she draws them, they spend time together and something seems to be sparking along the way and maybe Charlotte might stop hating Christmas due to it. 

I enjoyed this book a lot. I liked Charlotte a lot and I thought Graham was a nice MMC.  I liked Charlotte's character development when it came to her family, I thought that was very nice. I also liked how she grew to appreciate the new memories that can be made even if something is associated with something unpleasant. I thought Graham's protection of his family was just so nice. I did not love his sisters because it didn't seem like anyone was seeing anything from his perspective or trying to at least. I did think that sometimes the book tried to be oh so clever and point out the tropes that were happening. I don't really like when books become that self-aware so I had to deduct some stars because it kept on taking me out of the story. I thought that the third act breakup didn't have enough longing so I deducted half a star for that. 

Overall though the story is cute and puts you in the holiday spirit. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a quick fun holiday rom com. I thought it was a little hallmark movie in a book which I believe was what the book intended. 

Tropes: One bed, holiday romance, forced proximity, boss/employee (sort of)
