funny reflective medium-paced

Santa book club book! This book really surprisd me. I thought, and the author even describes it as a silly book but it has a lot of depth! It criticized capitalism/consumerism through the perspective of Christmas wanting to become a monopoly and hoarding a the generated joy in the world. Amazing!

It took me awhile to get into the book because the main character Coal has quite the imposter syndrome and when I started reading the book, so did I. So it hit a little bit too close to home.
