All She Wants for Christmas by Jaci Burton

4.0

Cute book that has gotten me in the mood for Christmas - what's Thanksgiving anyways?

All She Wants for Christmas is a book about a second chance of love. In it, you will meet Riley and Ethan. They dated for a while in High School, until the day everything changed for them. With on rotten mistake, their lives were changed. Riley walked into her best friends room and say her and Ethan, naked and in bed. Right then and there, she ran. Ran away from her home and life in that small town. Left without looking back.

Wow, this book through a lot at me. First, I loved Ethan and Riley but I totally felt for them too. Yeah, mistakes were made. Okay, a shit ton of mistakes but they eventually found each other. So long story short, Ethan married Amanda (the ex-best friend) and they eventually had a kid named Zoey. Now she was adorable.. but months (maybe years) Amanda dies. So now it's just Ethan and Zoey and they are cute and shit.

Then there's Riley who is a famous singer now. She's dreading the day that she has to come back to her home town. Yikes, this place has a ton of bad memories and she thinks the whole town hates her. WELL, that was the complete opposite. They loved Riley and absolutely hated Ethan and Amanda. Mostly because once Riley's first album came out.. they all knew the dirty laundry.

Of course it was a bitter sweet kind of meeting, but the sparks and chemistry were still there! Once they hashed things out like children, I mean adults (but honestly.. it was a lot of yelling) they finally got over everything. The whole truth was out in the open and basically everyone in that god damn town knew that they loved each other still. The love was always there and I doubt it would've gone away for them.

Overall, it was a very cute book. I'm happy that they got back together but thought that the whole engagement/making babies comment was WAY too early. She's been back for like what.. 3 days and it's already a thing?? Nope. Slow ya roll guys!!

I think the other two books are about his brothers and I can't wait to dive into them!
