This is an adorable and fun read. There's a ton of representation including characters who are POC, a character who has a disability, characters that are LGBT, and characters who are Jewish. The main character was a bit much at the start of the book, but she grew on me as I continued reading. All in all, this is a quick read that I enjoyed.

I haven't read a YA book in quite a while, and I enjoyed returning to teen fiction with this book. I was afraid I wasn't going to like it at first because the main character annoyed me, but she grew a bit as the novel went on, and maybe she just grew on me too. I appreciated the diversity in the book and of course the book store setting.

This was a sweet and fluffy Christmas-time book through the eyes of a Jewish main character working at a mall, what’s not to like??

She was Jewish, she had two moms, her boss was in a wheelchair, I *think* her best friend was a poc? I’m happy with the diversity in this one.

Most of the feminism/ableism/anti-semitism, etc. conversations felt pretty natural. Some were a little more forced than I like in YA but I still appreciate them being there.

There was a LOT going on over the span of one week in this book. Possible parental separation, big fights with friends, money problems, job insecurity... it felt pretty packed into a short book. Overall, though, it was fun and easy. Shoshanna, our mc, recognized some things about herself, changed what was hurting others, and kept what made her her. What else can you ask for?

This was so cute! I loved all of the characters and the bookstore was so cute! The characters are what made of this story and everyone was so cute. (Loved the nods to The Good Place as well ).
