Summer Hates Christmas

By Rachel Dove
Summer Hates Christmas by Rachel Dove digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

An enemies to lovers, grumpy sunshine, romantice comedy from bestselling author Rachel Dove

It's the most wonderful time of the year...isn't it?

Summer Hastings HATES Christmas. She loves sunshine, the beach and sending people off to their dream destinations – even if she doesn’t get to see the world for herself. For Summer, Christmas sucks!

So, when handsome and charming Noel Pritchett moves his pop-up Christmas shop into the store next to hers, Summer wishes she worked anywhere but next door to Mr Christmas.

But Noel loves Christmas and his enthusiasm for the festive season is infectious. If only he could break through the anti-Christmas armour Summer has surrounded herself with, he’s sure he could convince her that it really is the most wonderful time of the year!

Summer Hates Christmas Reviews

2.5
“You know, I tried reading this one last Christmas and stopped because I couldn’t handle someone hating Christmas. I love Christmas and I too come from a highly dysfunctional family. So this year I decided to give this one another chance and I was pleasantly surprised. I even had a little cry at the end. As the premise goes, Summer hates Christmas and Noel moved in next door with his festive shop. She does act like a complete bitch at first but he thankfully gives her multiple chances. They eventually get together and more of the story unfolds. However, this is not a light festive read. It actually has some heavy subject matter. And you honestly can’t fault summer for her destructive behaviour for what she has been through. I’m so glad it all worked out in the end with every character because it doesn’t often happen like that in real life.”
“I was interested in this book, but I was expecting a seasonal romcom… this was a bit heavier than that. It was good, just not what I was expecting. “Life is bloody short, and brutal. What makes any of us get up in the morning is the chance of happiness, of love, of living our lives how we want to”.”
