Chelsea Kumer’s Reviews > My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories > Status Update

The Girl Who Woke the Dreamer by Laini Taylor: 1 star, just honestly couldn't get into it.

Star of Bethlehem by Ally Carter--3 Stars. Just complete nonsense, really.

Welcome to Christmas, CA by Kristen White--4.5 Stars. "You were wrong. You are magic. But people don't need to remember how it felt to be happy and safe in the past. They need to have hope that they can get there again in the future." Oh God My Feels.

Beer Buckets and Baby Jesus by Myra McEntire--3 Stars. Attempted opposites attract comedy? It was meh.

What The He'll Have You Done, So his Roth by Gayle Forman --4.5 Stars. Two outsiders find each other.

Krampuslauf By Holly Black-- 4 Stars. Strange and magical.

Your Temporary Santa by David Levithan--4 Stars, because if we must have Santa he may as well be gay and Jewish.

It's a Yuletide Miracle, Charlie Brown by Stephanie Perkins--4.5 stars the characters were snappy and cute together, and I desperately wanted more.

Polaris is Where You'll Find Me by Jenny Han-1.5 Stars. The childish heroine and the presence of actual Santa in the story made this way too juvenile for my taste.

The Lady and the Fox by Kelly Link--3.5 Stars. Thought the concept and the story were enchanting, though I failed to connect to the protagonist.
