Haul Out the Holly!
Mackenzie has just found out she is pitted against her secret crush, Jeremy, for a promotion at work. It is Christmastime, and their boss loves the season, and promotes people who have the most holiday spirit.
As the two of them try to outdo the other with creative office decorations, and seasonal activities, they begin to look at each other in new ways.
They also make surprising discoveries about each other. Jeremy has taken on the role of parenting his niece and nephew after their mother, his sister, passed away.
Mackenzie strains to pay for her mother’s expensive Alzheimer’s treatment in a nice care facility. She also struggles with social anxiety that causes her to have a cripplingly fear of interacting with others.
It was fun to have this tale take place at Christmastime. I really liked the part when they explored the different ways people celebrate around the world, including the special holiday foods.
I had trouble warming up to Mackenzie, but she grew on me when she started trying to find a way out of her problems. The character’s faith added a great dimension to the story. Fans of romantic comedies, or the problems of modern life, will enjoy this five-star book.
