Merry Christmas You Filthy Animal by Meghan Quinn

I’m going to share the expert for the book then going to let you know my thoughts on the book! I am so excited for all the Christmas books to come out so this is definitely one to add to your list! I am seeing Meghan on Thursday night during her book tour & I absolutely can’t wait to see her again!

Nothing says I love you like trespassing, public humiliation, and a town-wide Christmas spectacle to win your crush back.

Atlas “Max” Maxheimer did not sign up for this. One minute, he’s anxiously trying to keep his family’s Christmas tree farm from imploding. The next? He’s passed out in the snow after getting clocked by a suspiciously strong bottle of soda.

Enter Betty: new in town, full of holiday cheer, and helping her uncle open a rival tree farm next door. Max is convinced she’s out to destroy everything Evergreen Farm stands for. Betty thinks Max might be one sleigh short of a winter parade.

Cue the holiday chaos.

Between blizzards, blown reputations, wildly misguided romantic plots, and one stolen ornament with a seriously tragic backstory, this small-town war turns into something far messier―and much more delicious―than either of them expected.

Alright let’s get into it!

You guys always know I am a STAN when it comes to Meghan & honestly this book is no exception. It’s unlike any book I’ve read. It’s so unique, hilarious, swoony, spicy & so much more. I love how Meghan has created this entire town, people & everything in between. Everything that happens feels like it could really happen & its just so fun to be intwined into her world.

We met Atlas (Max) in How My Neighbor Stole Christmas & I fell in love with him. He is so hilarious, a spaz & just couldn’t wait for his book & obviously hoping he found his person! I love that we still got to see people from HMNSC in this book because honestly all the side characters are so fun & so is having a narrator!

The FMC in this book is Betty & she is new to town. She has a family member in Kringle & has moved to start a new business venture with her uncle. Betty is literally the exact same person as Atlas & it’s honestly so freaking fun to see them interact & act together. From rivals to lovers.. there is so much that goes on & I truly loved seeing it all so much with them.

If you are a fan of Home Alone this is a must read for you— there are so many Home Alone Easter eggs & I recognized so many of them! It made for added fun in the story! I honestly loved it so much!

The spice was spicing just like always with Meghan’s books & I’ll never look at chocolate covered cherries or popcorn garland the same ever again!

I can’t recommend this book enough & even though you don’t have to read it before you definitely should read How My Neighbor Stole Christmas then this one just so you can fall in love with the town Kringle & all the characters!
