Very cute. Very much a middle grade book but it had a nice message of 'choosing your life for yourself' and that people aren't black and white, which is great for tweens to be reading. I liked that Sally had so much agency and that Jack was essentially there as support for her. I enjoyed the friendship between Sally and Abigail. Overall fun and cute

Very cute so far. I'm enjoying the mildly sinister worldbuilding of Christmas Town as well as Sally characterization of someone desperate to belong. Glad that they didn't just make her Love Christmas right off the bat and not care about her home anymore. Recently Jack came back into the story and I'm enjoying their dynamic. The author writes him as kinda a charismatic weirdo, which I enjoy, and I like their dynamic

Apparently ChristmasTown is a surveillance state. Who knew?

I reserve my right as an adult to read a middle grade book of something deeply nostalgic and fun
