I received this book from NetGalley.

I'm really finding it difficult to like Noelle, and not just because she hates Christmas. I think her job made it difficult for me to relate to her because she seems so obnoxious. Plus, she purposefully uploading something Colin asked her not to didn't sit well with me. She chose viewers, people she doesn't even know, after someone who was trying to do something good for his town.

Plus, she's obviously starting to develop feelings for Colin but still says she's just flirting for the cameras, even to herself. It's annoying.

What Gretchen did, making that video, was unacceptable and honestly should have got her fired.

Overall the book was alright but a bit disappointing.

This was a fun, Hallmark movie of a book! The characters has good chemistry, the set up was super fun and christmassy, and I had fun reading it! I also liked the conflict— it was realistic without being overly anxiety-inducing. Overall, this is good, clean, Christmas fun.

The pacing was a little off; the romance felt rushed and there were jumps forward in the feelings department that seemed abrupt, particularly around the 60% mark.

Who’s in the mood for a little Christmas Spirit? Like Hallmark Christmas Movies? If so, then Laughing All the Way is a good choice. It falls into the opposites attract/finding the Christmas spirit troupe. Noelle is a podcaster known for her sarcastic wit but her numbers have been dropping (she still has over a million followers). Her boss assigns her to visit Evergreen Creek and cover their weeklong Christmas festival run by the hot town mayor.
This book is a cute quick read and perfect for the holidays. I wish there were a little more build-up to the romance and maybe a little more heat. This is definitely a G-rated romance. However, all of the Christmas themes and traditions were included which put me in the holiday mood. 3.5 Stars- I want to thank Netgalley and Summers for this ARC.

This is such a cute, sweet, loving read! The book is about main character and YouTube star Noelle. Noelle is sent on assignment to Evergreen Creek, whose claim to fame is Christmas Town USA. The only problem with this is Noelle hates Christmas! Will snarky Noelle learn to love Christmas again!? Read this book now to find out!! . #LaughingAllTheWay #NetGalley

Thank you netgalley for the free ebook. Noelle is a social media influencer, and Colin is a small town Mayor. When Noelle is set on assignment to Evergreen Creek to show off the town's Christmas festivities, will Colin and her world collide? Noelle is a Grinch at Christmas while Colin dresses up as Santa Claus, will Colin be able to melt Noelle's frozen heart with his town and his charm? Or will Noelle's sarcastic attitude ruin the festival?

I wanted to like this more than I did. I liked the concept but I thought Noelle was going to be more funny but in actuality she came off as cruel. I loved the town of the setting and it really brought out the Christmas story. It’s a cute easy read but so so so repetitive and the writing felt juvenile. If you need a palate cleanser sure but there are so many better Christmas reads out there

Reviewed for NetGalley:

A sweet, holiday romance following the formula of big city girl, going to small town, and sparks fly.

Just enough drama and fun for influencer Noelle and small town mayor, Colin, to make the story just right for the holiday season.

This book is absolutely the cutest and sweetest story! The book is filled with so much warmth, love and all things Christmas that the holidays are the perfect time to pick up this book to read.

The book is an easy and quick read. The story is predictable but it really does not matter because it is the loveliest of Christmas stories. Noelle & Colin make the cutest couple and their story of falling in love is the best. They are very different - Noelle is a social media influencer known for her sarcasm and honest commentary, she lives in the fast pace of the city and she really dislikes Christmas. Colin is the mayor of a very small town obsessed with his town and the people in it and he loves all things Christmas and the way the town celebrates it each year.

Noelle is sent to the small town for her job. Colin is not excited about having her there. He keeps a close eye on her and eventually all the time together experiencing Christmas cheer and creating memories together have both thinking a little differently about their future.

The ending of the story is perfect - no worries, there are no spoilers here - still the ending brings the book to a satisfying end.

This is a perfect holiday read!

Remember to have some hot chocolate, a roaring fire and maybe some twinkling lights while reading!!

Laughing All the Way by Mia Summers is a delightful holiday romcom that unfolds like a Hallmark movie. Noelle, a sassy influencer with a penchant for poking fun at everything, arrives at Evergreen Creek to take down the self-proclaimed Christmas Town, USA. The story follows her encounters with Colin, the youngest mayor, who is determined to show her the true magic of Christmas. The relationship between Noelle and Colin is adorable and their banter add some giddiness to the plot. However, the romance could have been explored more deeply, and the conflict at the end feels a bit silly.

The book's pace is perfect, capturing the essence of a short, fast-paced holiday read. While the writing style is engaging, some additional depth in character and the settings development would help the story come alive. Despite the rushed moments, Laughing All the Way successfully infused Christmas spirit and was an overall light-hearted read for a quick festive escape. I would definitely recommend this to reader looking for a fun and entertaining read!

Thank you NetGalley and Sterling & Stone for an e-copy .

Unfortunately, i did not love this one. It was very superficial and I did not feel like I truly knew the characters. I loved all of the christmas themes but not much else.

Cute holiday read. If you like Hallmark movies, then you will like Laughing All The Way. Big city girl and small town guy meet and fall in love in Evergreen Creek, Christmas City USA.

Oh, I just loved Noelle and Colin. This was a super sweet, clean Christmas romance. It had the makings of a Hallmark(ish) movie - small town at Christmas, young mayor, social media influencer, holiday activities, sights, sounds and food.

I enjoyed the reverse grumpy trope with Noelle being the Grinch and Colin being the lover of all things Christmas. A twist and a lot of fun.

Each had their own reasons for being the way they were, but when they came together, they pushed each other to become better.

Thank you NetGalley and Sterling & Stone for an e-copy of LAUGHING ALL THE WAY to review.

I rate LAUGHING ALL THE WAY four out of five stars.

This ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Rated 3.5/5 stars

This book is truly a hallmark movie in word form! I wish it were a bit longer, just because i feel that there could be more to Noelle and Colin's story. I felt that some of the story-line felt rushed., but overall a cute story. This reminded me of a Stars Hollow (Gilmore Girls)-type small town. This is a typical small-town guy and big-city girl trope. Agree with other reviews that this was a cliche holiday story, but who doesn't love 'love' during the holidays!?

Rated 3 ⭐️

Noella is a social media influencer who is blunt and sarcastic, and known as a bit of a b*tch. Her assignment is to go to Christmas Town USA and film their Christmas celebrations in hopes of boosting her ratings. Colin is the mayor of Christmas Town, and has lost his mother. While Noella films her segments for her social media fans Christmas magic happens.

A Hallmark feel Christmas story. Grumpy vs Sunshine trope, with a dash of Grinch. An easy read with a predictable storyline. I just wanted more from this story line.

Being a major fan of Christmas, I wanted so much more from this book.. It was just okay to me. I did enjoy that it was a book where the male lead was one who loved Christmas and the female was the grinch/scrooge.

Thank you to Netgalley, Mia Summers and publishers for this Free Ebook.

This review is 100% my honest opinion.

Being a huge fan of Christmas, I wanted to like this book so much. It was just meh to me. I did appreciate it being a book where the male lead was one one who loved Christmas and the female was the grinch.

This is so minor but one thing that bothered me when I read it was in one paragraph Noelle called someone charming and a few paragraphs later commented “who even used the word charming to describe anything”. You, Noelle. You literally just did.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book!
