I thought this was the book. Kind of disappointment but I should have paid more attention when signing up. I will be reading the book, and the kit has some great ideas!

Very well put together with the activities and the drinks. My book club will loved this for our monthly discussion of the book!

I liked the discussion questions. They really prompt some deeper thinking on a lighter fun read.

The printable book marks are fun, and the Bites & Sips was a wonderful addition to make it a much cozier read. I also appreciated the selection of books to read next.

I really love Book Club Kits and this one was no exception. I think it has the power to really enhance the experience of reading the book and discussing about it!

This was a fun and entertaining companion to the book. I enjoyed reading through it and thinking about the story more!

I didn't have a book club meeting or host one but I was curious about the book club kit. This kit includes some discussions and an author interview which you can discuss before your club.

Personally, I wish there was a drink for each character or a fun activity to go with the drinks...like drink if you see this word happen or if you think this will happen. Etc.

Thank you to Sara Raasch for providing this get to NetGalley. I received it to review and I hope the next book kit has a little more activites on it! Overall it's helpful and a fun way to discuss the book with friends.

I just discussed it to my husband and dog but I enjoyed testing out the drinks!

Holy Cute balls, this was so fun to read. Reading around the holidays was so worth it as it added to the ambiance. Going into it I thought it would be about a Goth and bubbly guy obsessed with baubles but NO, there’s a SANTA too. A Santa who has children who inherit the holy title.

I was inspired to read this following Caitsbooks preparing a group read of it and I thought “Hey, I need new things to read”. This is my first Sara Raasch book and you best believe I will be reading more works of hers. I am sad that the sequel means two characters didn’t end up together but I really want to see these characters flourish in Go Luck Yourself along with guest appearances from my two favourite messes.

I am writing a review for this kit because it really did help me get through this book. However I didnt want to mark this as a no feedback because I fear that it would effect my review score and rating.

I loved everything about this book club kit! I’m a little late to the game here because I just now discovered the kit on here. I did read The Nightmare Before Kissmas during Christmas and I loved it. I would definitely use this kit during when Christmas comes around again. The author interview gave me new insights to the story and the writing process. The discussion questions are fun and touch on some of the more serious tones in the book so it’s a nice mix. The art on the book marks are so cute. The activities are fun, accessible, and affordable!

I loved this companion piece to such a great book! I saved it to share with my book club when we read it this October!

This is wonderful! My book club gets off topic quite a bit so this will come in handy! I love that there are book club kits out there like this!

This is the perfect book club guide! I will definitely use this in the future if my book club reads this book.

I fell for it again! I totally thought this was the book but this is a book club kit.

great idea and would love this if I had a group here where I am. Def put this on my waitlist cause I need some happiness.

The club kit was an amazing addition to our book discussions! it really made us think about the book more deeply

This book club kit was absolutely perfect for our November Love & Lore book club pick! It included everything we needed to make our discussion both fun and engaging—thoughtful discussion questions, themed bookmarks, delicious recipes, a curated playlist, and even activities to bring the book to life. The variety of materials made it easy to create an immersive book club experience, and everyone loved the extra details that tied into the story.

If you're looking for a well-rounded, interactive way to enhance your book club meetings, this kit is a fantastic addition. It made our discussion feel extra special and truly brought the book to life!

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)

Special thanks to NetGalley and to Marie Savage for providing an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

A very fun Kit! Did not get to use it with a group, but it was still enjoyable to use on my own. Thank you!

This book had me all over the emotional spectrum—swooning, blushing, laughing, and even crying. It was such an incredible read! I didn’t want it to end because I grew so attached to the characters. Kris, Iris, Hex, and Coal made the perfect team, and I couldn’t help but root for each of them. Kris’s kind and protective nature, Iris’s fierce loyalty, Hex’s sizzling chemistry (especially with Coal), and Coal’s humor and need to prove himself were all so captivating. And the grand gesture at the end? Absolutely tear-jerking! This book is a must-read.
