I really liked this one! It was a compelling read and I didn't feel pulled out of the story. I wanted to keep reading.

I requested this book because of the synopsis and I was looking for a romance book that wipul be fun to read during the holidays but it reminded be to much of a movie I saw on Netflix.
The plot was the same but the ending and middle was completely different. I loved the characters and the message that the book relayed to its readers.
If you’re looking for a book that is fun and easy to read during the holidays give this one a try.

Full of warmth and wit!! This was seriously a very sweet YA holiday romance. Perfect holiday book! I loved how the characters were developed, the friendships were described, and the setting overall.

This one was not for me.
Thank you NetGalley for providing a copy of this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Solid Christmas book. Cute. A basic “be careful what you wish for” Christmas YA book.
What I find so interesting in the comments is the slam on the author and the book based solely on her saying that she is a Christian. Nowhere that I could find did this book call itself Christian fiction. So I don’t know why reviewers are holding it up like it is. Everything I saw was it put in ya and romance. But suddenly because she states she is a Christian the book should be or should have more religion in it?? I don’t get it. That isn’t fair or right. I am a Christian. And a writer. I do not write Christian fiction. It doesn’t offend me or bother me at all for a book to only talk about God once or mentioning church once. Why is that wrong? The book is not religious. The book doesn’t have to be religious. Nobody slammed Nicholas Sparks for stating he was a Christian but writing regular romance without Christian values.
I think she did a great job.
Only once was I annoyed with the adult “mentor” talk and how she talked about divorce and two people just falling out of love. That, in my opinion, is the problem with people’s ideas of marriage. But regardless, the character is a teenager and wishes for something then wakes up living in a world where the wish came true. But he finds out why he should have loved the life he had instead of wishing for something different. Some of the readers get their underwear in a wad about him liking a girl while dating another. Umm, he is thrown in to an entirely different world that he isn’t used to. And also…it’s fiction. I don’t think it has an issue that teens “don’t need to read” as other reviews have said. I have read plenty of Ya that teens don’t need to read. This is clean, solid, sweet story.

This was adorable and the perfect read to get in the Holiday mood! I loved the MC- Graham. He's adorable, sweet and really mellow. He's had a crush on his best friend Sarah for most of his teen years. He doesn't date because he just doesn't think anyone else can measure up.

But Sarah's dating Graham's other best friend, Jeremy. They are a pretty perfect couple but Graham just can't imagine it wouldnt' be even better with Sarah and him together.

So one night, he makes a wish and gets his wish. But is it everything he thought it would be?

I liked the training to dance, the little moments at the bowling alley and the constant Christmas cookies! I loved the little town, the constant Christmas theme and the wonderful parade. This is a light, quick, sweet read! I think I'll read more in the series!

A huge thank you to the author and publisher for providing an e-ARC via Netgalley. This does not affect my opinion regarding the book.

I really enjoyed this book. I read it in one sitting. I look forward to reading the others on this series. I definitely would recommend this book!

Thanks to NetGalley for this one. This was a wonderful read.

The author, Chelsea Bobulski, can write characters and really bring them to life. I loved Graham and Piper so much. I know that Sarah is the girl Graham wishes for but I really appreciated that she was sort of pushed into the background as you don't really want to fall for her.

This is a fantastic Christmas book. It touched my heart so much. I agree with another reviewer who said this would make a good Hallmark/Disney movie. I hope to read the other books in the series real soon. Maybe the characters will be revisited from this book as well.

Book 1 in an interconnected series of contemporary young adult romance novels with a Christmas theme. Each novel highlights the importance of understanding yourself when entering a relationship, having a supportive circle of people in your life, and that true love is bringing out the best in each partner.

Graham Wallace thinks he's kept his decade long love for Sarah Clarke under wraps, especially for the last two years as she's dated his best friend. When he attempts to confess, Sarah gently acknowledges the crush but cannot reciprocate. Embarrassed and alone, he wishes upon a shooting star that he had been dating Sarah for the last two years. He wakes up to find his dream come true, with everyone remembering things as he wanted. Or at least he thought he wanted. People's personalities have changed in unexpected ways. Meanwhile, a new girl in town offers a glimpse of a different pathway to contentment. Highly recommended for ages 12 and up.

I really love Christmas romcoms and this one definitely did not disappoint. I am looking forward to reading more Chelsea Bobulski!

Sometimes you just need a Christmas book in April to lift your spirits.

I won't lie... All I Want for Christmas is the Girl Next Door is incredibly cheesy. It's basically a Hallmark movie in book form.... but I mean that in the best way possible! The story incorporates the typical wish upon a star trope that lands the main character in the life they've always dreamed of, only to realize that the life they thought would be perfect isn't. It's predictable, but sometimes that's exactly what I want. It's nice to sit back and enjoy a lighthearted read, and this book accomplishes that perfectly.

This book is part of a series, and I can't wait to read the other titles! I enjoy cheesy holiday romances so much.

A YA christmas romance is all that I have ever wanted. The best of both worlds. It was witty and warm and a delight to read before the holiday season. The guy who has been in love with the same girl forever without confessing his love, only for her to end up with his best friend made for a realistic plot for a high school experience. Christmas time brings magic and that was on Graham’s side.

A light, quick read about a little town called Christmas and a teenager who is in love with his neighbor. This book is geared more towards a young adult crowd but definitely shows that the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

I helped with the cover reveal for this book last year and was excited to see it on Netgalley for request. It definitely has a bit of the Hallmark Christmas movie vibe. Though, I didn't personally really connect with the story or the characters. I may pick up the rest of the books at a later time.

Thank you for the opportunity to review All I Want For Christmas.

I'm not really sure what the audience is here, but I think I can echo other reviews in saying that Graham does not always sound believably teenaged, while at other times almost feels laughably caricature-like as one. The germ of this idea is better than its payoff.

Cutest book I’ve read in awhile. Sweet love story and characters you connect with. These books NEED to be on Disney plus

I was quite disappointed with this after being so enamored with Bobulski's previous book, Remember Me. I could not connect with any of these characters, and the main character didn't grow at all. It was quite uncomfy the way he described other female characters, clearly objectifying them, which was sad to see in a book that advertised itself as Christian.

The plot was weirdly supernatural for a normal small-town setting. It didn't fit the book at all, and the strange event is never explained.

I couldn't find myself liking anyone, and the ending felt very shallow. It also wasn't nice to see how all the relationships developed, as many characters cheated on significant others, led people on, or did other questionable things that weren't really touched upon.

I really wanted to like this book. I thought the "wish upon a shooting star" premise had a magical touch. But I just couldn't get past the main character's arrogance and lack of empathy for others. He is so focused on what he wants, he has no concern for those he hurts. He is also pretty disrespectful towards his mother, which I found very distasteful. Maybe I'll try another book by this author, as I thought the writing was done well. But this one was a pass for me.

This story was a festive holiday read with an It’s a Wonderful Life type twist to it. I very much enjoyed how the author explored what would have happened alternatively and how the MC grew through the experience.

This book was a very cute teenage book. I enjoyed reading it and it put me in the holiday spirit. I would recommend to my students as well!
