SYNOPSIS:

Every Kringle in Kringletown celebrated Christmas a lot.


But Cole Black on Whistler Lane, unfortunately, did not.


As his fellow citizens decorate their quaint town, brimming with carols and glad tidings, Cole wants nothing more than to hibernate the winter away. But his dreary plans are thwarted when his Christmas nemesis, Storee Taylor, moves in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy.


Immediately, the new neighbor turns his life into a real nightmare before Christmas, especially when she decides to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest in honor of Cindy. And better yet, Storee is determined to win.


Over Cole's dead body, she will. With help from his friend Max, Cole decides to enter the competition as well, to beat Storee at her own game by pretending that this hometown grump's heart has grown three sizes this season and he's fallen for the girl next door. And unfortunately for Storee, she has to follow his lead to have a chance at the Christmas Kringle title.


But the competition isn't the only thing that heats up. Cole and Storee's fake relationship becomes very real, and before they know it, they're attempting to hide it from Aunt Cindy. Things get complicated, the competition gets tough, and all it takes is one single night for someone to steal it all…


REVIEW:

How My Neighbor Stole Christmas is officially my absolute FAVORITE Meghan Quinn book!!!!!


I feel like every time I finish one her books, I leave with a new favorite lol


As a spooky season girly when I received this ARC in October, I thought "I don't know how I'm going to get into a Christmas romance right now" but to be honest once I started I couldn't put this book down and THEN I wanted to read even more Christmas books lol.


It transported me straight to HOLLY JOLLY AF!!


Anywhozzle's (see what I did there?) this book was a 5 star read because one minute it had me giggling whilst kicking my feet in the air and the next I was tearing up and relating so hard with the journey of grief portrayed through the MMC.


This one is a BANGER and I 100% would recommend this book to any & everyone!!!


Storee & Cole are truly one of my favorite fictional couples. I love how emotionally intelligent they both are and how they hold space for one another. I absolutely was FROTHING at the mouth in the beginning of the book when the enemies to lovers trope was going hard.


THE FREAKING CANDY CANE. COLE. SIR. THE CANDY CANE. THE ROPES. COLE. WHEW. HONEY.


1 million out of 10 and YOU should definitely read this book. I'm OBSESSED and the audio.... GOOOD LAWWWDDD the audio version. SWOON.


Did I purchase the audio version on release day even though I had already read the entire physical copy, YES. Do I regret it? NOT FOR A DANG SECOND BESTIE!!!!


p.s. the audiobook is FREAKIN' JUICY!!! 


Special thank you to Meghan Quinn and Bloom Books for gifting me with the digital ARC & ALC copy of this book!  🖤  It brought me so much laughter in a truly difficult season of life and for that I'm forever grateful!
