Sleigh Tour Winter Book Review: Ex-Mas by Kate Brian

Today I’m excited to host a review for the WinterHaven Sleigh Tour. This week WinterHaven and a great group of sleigh bloggers are posting our choice of a Winter Book Review. To see who else is on the sleigh, you can go to our WinterHaven Sleigh Tour page for a list of participating blogs.

My Winter Book choice for today is Ex-mas by Kate Brian. 

My Thoughts

As you can tell, I love reading holiday books during this time of the year, and it’s sometimes hard to find a YA book that centers around Christmas. So when I came across Kate Brian’s Ex-Mas… WHAT.A.DELIGHT! Ex Mas was a fun and fast-paced pick. Now, it was filled with unlikely and forced events to make the storyline come together, but I still enjoyed it for what it was worth.

I liked the main characters Lily and Beau and their road trip from Los Angeles to Seattle was fun to read about because I’m familiar with their pit stops and city detours. Their journey chasing their kid brothers, Tyler and Cooper, who were headed up North via Amtrak to save Santa from global warming was enlightening. My favorite scene was their final stop in Seattle, where it all came together, and they sang their song at Perk-o-Late. Very cute.

Overall, I enjoyed it much and I’m excited to find more Christmassy reads like this one during this season.

Their song
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
are you allergic to flowers too?
What if I brought you cookies instead?
One sniff of your roses and I could be dead.
