A review by bookwormwordnerd
Scrooge and the Girls Next Door by Melanie Jacobson

5.0

What we have here is some Grumpy/Sunshine, Single Mom, Age Gap, Christmas-themed goodness. If you’ve ever seen the show and character, Bones, Henry reminded me of her in the best ways. Dry humor, introvert, observant, and awkwardly adorable. Paige is a spitfire and the way that Evie wormed her way into Henry’s heart was amazing.

Things I Loved:
-“Nice meeting you, neighbor. But just so you know, anything you need to borrow, I won’t have.”
-Nana and Poppa Dub
-Evie, everything about Evie. ♥️
-Home Improvement reference
-Cat
-Mr. Brown
-Pink stripe
-Rampant commercialism?
-Miss Lily
-Hill the Pill
-“It’s about to get aggressively jolly around here.”
-Sea monkeys
-No cap—or anytime Henry uses slang
