Book: All About Christmas
Author: Iris Visser
Rating: 4 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Such a fun holiday read!

You get a true enemies to lovers in this one. Work rivals thrown into a competition against each other to see who will get the promotion!

Lots of tension between the two main characters in this one, my only issue was I didn't really feel it between the two of them until it was actually happening! But, when it did it was amazing.

You get:
• Holiday Read
• Rom Com
• Enemies To Lovers
• Work Rivals

I recommend this one! Available on kobo plus.

All About Christmas by Iris Visser was a sweet distraction this holiday season!

This office-based romance quickly creates a natural enemies-to lovers/rivals-to-lovers atmosphere with Holly and Olivier both vying for the same promotion! Business rules create an off-limits feeling while also giving neither character the upper hand. Visser created the perfect workplace competition and continuously allowed this rom-com to not take itself too seriously!

What else:
-running "you have something against my jacket" joke
-forced proximity moments
-he falls first vibes
-steamy scene
-subtle Christmas season hints

This is such a quick and light-hearted read with just the right amount of depth for this busy holiday season!

Thank you NetGalley, Iris Visser and Kobo Originals for the complimentary copy to read and review.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for the ARC of All About Christmas by Iris Visser. All opinions are my own.

I decided to give this book a try after the author reached out to me on Instagram and said that her Christmas story had been translated from Dutch to English this year. The premise sounded fun and cute.

I didn’t however finish this book because I didn’t mesh well with the writing. I don’t know if the translation affected the writing at all, but I just couldn’t get into the story.

The book opened with a prologue where the protagonist speaks to the reader all about how badly romance is portrayed in pop culture. I found this sort of writing off-putting, and it felt more like the author stating her own views instead of the character.

The other part of the writing that kept pulling me out of the story was the way things were described. I think the author was trying to give readers a rich description of the characters and setting, but a lot of details seemed unnecessary to the story.

Overall, I really wanted to love this book, but it just wasn’t for me. I do think that there are other readers that would enjoy this story much better.
