All The Jingle Ladies wasn't the book for me. I thought all of the Christmas themes were super cute, but it was just too YA for me. I didn't connect with any of the characters at all, unfortunately.

THANK YOU TO NETGALLEY AND SOURCEBOOKS FIRE FOR AN ARC OF THIS BOOK IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW!!!!!!!!

This was a cute YA holiday romcom with a grinchy teen girl and a meet-cute at a Hollywood film premiere. Mistaken identities and mixups ensue in this charming and sweet Christmas romance perfect for fans of authors like K. L. Walther and Lynn Painter. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital copy in exchange for my honest review!

This book is a mood. All the cheesy christmas vibes and puns, combined with one clumsy hardheaded Christmas Scrooge.

☕️ Grab your blanket and curl up with some coco for this adorable little YA. Molly Bell (15) has the best friend a girl could ever ask for, and is willing to put her dislike for Christmas aside to make it one for her bestie to remember - all in the spirit of Grampy G. But despite Molly’s talents to pull this off, she is flawed to a fault. Clumsy and embarrassed of her true s-elf, she has banished her identity to behind the scenes at all costs. And to make matters worse, she is a major procrastinator, and finds herself painted in a web of lies that is bound to catch up to her.

🫣 It started off a little slow for me, but by the third chapter, I was pulled in. Parts of Molly’s character really frustrated me. She was so busy trying to control what others know and think, that she lost site of what’s important. There were also a few things that seemed far fetched for me, but I tried to shut my logical brain down and focus on the cuteness and innocence.

📈 Overall, while it was easy to tell where the book was heading, it was nice to see the character grow and learn her lessons. In the end she came together for her friend, and had the true fairy tale ending (the one that is definitely not IRL 😂 but sweet none-the-less).

💖 This books underlying message has a lot of heart. It’s about being brave, and accepting yourself for who you are. Putting your all in, and not worrying about what others think. Because if you never try, you will definitely fail. But if you try, you just may succeed.

Thanks to NetGalley, Sourcebooks Fire, and Beth Garrod for providing me with a complimentary ARC to review!

A girl who's parents released a hit Christmas song 10 years ago, that haunts her, finds herself having to endure it all over again as its the part of the soundtrack to the new hottest holiday film.... and then there's the cute guy from the premiere that she might be falling for but has bene hiding her true identity from. This book was not for me unfortunately, I was hoping for a cute little holiday rom com but it just felt so YA and the characters felt so one dimensional that I just struggled to even get through it. The writing style just did not really work for me and so it made it a bit of a not so great read. While this book wasn't for me, if you want a YA Christmas romance maybe give this one a go.

Great premise but the book is very poorly written, with one dimensional characters. There are plenty of great Christmas books out there, skip this one.

All the Jingle Ladies was a cute holiday read and I think our patrons will really enjoy it. We will definitely get this ordered ASAP!

Unfortunately, Molly's cringe over her parent's Christmas hit transferred over to the reader. I found the start of the book so uncomfortable from second hand embaressment that it was hard to get through.

Not me reading a Christmas book in this 90 degree heat... 😬 I love British books. They are so cozy and idyllic. ☺️ All the Jingle Ladies by Beth Garrod was cute and heartwarming. This has a Christmas meet cute, sweet friendship between Holly and Grace, quirky and supportive family, Britain at Christmastime, first love, and lots of laugh out loud moments. Reminded me a little of Dash and Lily, which is also v cute. I loved it. Thank you Sourcebooks Fire and NetGalley for this eARC.

this book was so stinkin cute. It’s about friendship and love. it was sweet and heart warming. It was festive but not over bearing. I feel like it portrays the real meaning of christmas through and through.

All the Jingle ladies is a hate to love Christmas book with fun loving characters and excellent writing. Even after reading the description, it wasn't exactly how I thought it would be, which was a nice surprise.

Thank you netgalley for an arc of All the Jingle Ladies by Beth Garrod
