Me encantó esta historia. De lo más adorable y perfecta para pasar Navidad. Me encantó todo el asunto de los regalos (me encantaron todos, especialmente porque prueban lo atento que estuvo el personaje masculino —que no digo quién es porque no estoy segura si es spoiler o no).

Es bastante predecible, es cierto, pero no me molestó en lo absoluto, de hecho lo prefiero así.

This was a great holiday read. First off, it's enemies to lovers and YOU KNOW I'm always down for that. Second, it involves one of my other favorite romance tropes and that's thinking you know who you need romantically and being catastrophically wrong. 

This had all of the best parts of Yule, baking, ugly sweater parties, caroling, tree decorating, family gatherings, secret Santas, snow angels, etc. It was such a joy to read, even though I started it the week after Christmas, it's still technically Yule so.... Speaking of yule, the MC's best friend is Jewish so there are also Hanukkah traditions as well! 

I really did enjoy this book. It actually would have rated closer to the 5 range but y'all, that cover is just. . . not it.

This sweet, funny holiday romance from the author of Romeo And What’s Her Name features cute boys, plenty of rom-com mishaps, and a determined heroine readers are certain to fall for. Charlotte “Charlie” Donovan knows exactly what she wants for Christmas: Teo Ortiz. He’s a star athlete, a National Honor Society member, and the most popular guy in school. Plus he contributes to the school paper, where Charlie is a co-editor. Basically, he's exactly the type of guy Charlie’s looking for. The only problem is—he barely knows she exists. But Charlie has a plan: rig the paper’s Secret Santa and win his heart with the perfect gift. The catch? She has no idea what to get him. Enter J.D. Ortiz–Teo’s cousin, and possibly the most annoying person on the planet. He’s easy going, laid back, disorganized, and spontaneous—the exact opposite of Charlie (and Teo). But he knows what Teo wants, so she’s stuck with him. Yet, the more time Charlie spends with J.D., the more she starts to wonder: Does she really know what, or rather who, she wants for Christmas? Shani Petroff's newest young adult comedy of errors, My New Crush Gave to Me, is the perfect read for those searching for some love and laughter along with their holiday spirit. Praise for My New Crush Gave to Me: "Fans of holiday movies, rom-coms, and “All I Want for Christmas Is You” will enjoy My New Crush Gave to Me.... Petroff’s festive story will have readers baking gingerbread cookies and bunuelos at any time of year." —VOYA "It’s light as powdered sugar and just as sweet." —Booklist

I thought it ready pretty much like a rom com Christmas movie, which is exactly what I was in the mood for. While Charlie annoyed me at times, overall I found the book really enjoyable.
