It's September, so that means holiday rom-coms are releasing soon. Holly and Nick Hate Christmas by Betsy St. Amant is arriving mid-month and it sounds like a lot of fun! It has forced proximity and enemies-to-lovers vibes, for those of you who are into tropes. Thanks to Penguin Random House, we have one copy to give away!
Holly Sinclair has hated Christmas for as long as she can remember. Who names their Christmas baby Holly in the first place? She was teased mercilessly growing up. Holly Berry, Holli-days, Holly Jolly . . . not to mention the fact that her birthday is often totally overlooked amidst the season.
To make matters worse, instead of getting the promotion she was expecting, Holly’s been downsized—which is just fancy holiday talk for fired. Now Holly has to go home single, unemployed, turning thirty, and only a tinsel strand of faith. Bah, humbug.
Holly’s big brother, Ryan, has dragged his best friend, known holiday-hater Nick Kinsley, home with him. But when Holly discovers that Nick’s here to be her pity date, she decides the best revenge is to play along . . . and Christmas like she’s never Christmas’d before. Commence Operation: Naughty List. The fact that she’s attracted to Nick is totally not the point. She’ll teach him a lesson, one ho ho ho at a time.
The holiday grows more complicated when Holly and Ryan find out their parents asked all the siblings to come home for Christmas this year, but refuse to say why. The rest of the Sinclair siblings descend, each with their own sleigh full of secrets. Rumors spread as everyone tries to guess the reason for their parents’ demand—and Nick turns out to have a secret of his own. Will this be a Christmas to forget? Or will Holly and Nick discover there is so much more?
“Holly and Nick Hate Christmas includes everything a reader could want for Christmas. Humor, family fun, the spirit of Christmas, and Christmas shenanigans. Fans of Melissa Ferguson and Bethany Turner will love this heartwarming, joyous read for the holiday season and years to come!”
“Holly and Nick Hate Christmas overflows with festive chaos. If you enjoy holiday stories featuring huge families, secrets, and witty banter, then you’ll fall in love with this rom-com.”

Sounds like a book I will enjoy reading.
One thing I hate about the holidays is that I never seem to have enough money to buy the things I truly want to buy for the people I love.
Thank you for the chance.
The constant reminder of how many shopping days remain for the holiday.
I love Christmas, but I don't like see Christmas decorations in the stores while it's still summer.
I don't like all the socialising. I find it absolutely exhausting! A little bit of socialising is fine but there's just too much of it around Christmas time.
Looks like a good holiday read!
I hate having to take the decorations down.
I'm so bah humbug I don't like much about the holidays but funnily enough, I love reading holiday books!
The one thing I don't like about Christmas is some of the relatives who Im not fond of I have to see.
The older I get, the more draining Christmas seems to be. I need to let go of some of the expectations.
songs on repeat
Taking down decorations.
Seeing people I don't want to see.
I love Christmas time, but every year it seems to go too fast! There is not enough time to slow down and truly enjoy it, it seems.
I don't like the cold weather that comes with the holidays.
