A sweet Christmas romance about a girl with one wish: to kiss someone under the mistletoe. The holiday escape you need!Bailey Briggs is counting down the days to Christmas: she lives for holiday music, baking cookies, going on snowy sleigh rides, and wearing her light-up reindeer ears to work at Winslow’s bookstore. But all she really wants this year is the one thing she doesn’t have: someone … doesn’t have: someone special to kiss under the mistletoe. And she’s 100 percent certain that that someone isn’t Jacob Marley–athlete, player, and of questionable taste in girlfriends–and that Charlie, the mysterious stranger with the British accent, is the romantic lead of her dreams. Is she right?
This will be a December to remember, filled with real-life Christmas magic . . . and, if she stays on Santa’s nice list, a wish that just might come true.

All I Want for Christmas is a lovely teen/young adult story of a teenage girl, Bailey Briggs, whose only Christmas wish is to be kissed under the mistletoe by someone who really means it. Bailey is a full time high school student and works part time in a local bookstore. When classmate Jacob Marley comes into the bookstore he asks Bailey for help in finding gifts for his family. She is adept at doing so but feels her time has been wasted when Jacob reveals he has forgotten his wallet but promises to come back.
Then she meets Charlie, a young man with a British accent and mannerisms, who sways her, especially when he first saves her from an ice skating accident and then helps her from a collision with a snowdrift. But then, there is always Jacob. In a well woven story, the reader discovers the interplay between the three.
This is a well woven story with tinges of It’s a Wonderful Life, after all our heroine’s name is Bailey. This is a lovely young adult read and I do recommend it!
If you love cute boys (who bake!), hot cocoa, sledding dates, adorable dogs, and mistletoe kisses you will love this cozy, sweet, and romantic story. It’s completely charming and there’s even a dash of Christmas magic! It really is like a YA book version of a Hallmark Christmas movie and it made my heart merry from the very first page.
This book was the Christmas spark of joy I needed in my life.
If you’re looking for some Christmas magic that will leave you feeling like a happy melted pile of gooey holiday cheer, then this is the book for you.
I read this book with my mom because we were both in dire need of some Christmas cheer. After we read a little bit she said to me “this is you!” So much of Bailey’s inner monologue and describing her love of Christmas is 100% me. Seeing myself within pages of a book is such a wonderful surprise.
This was such a fun and lighthearted story that often had me giggling out loud. Truly a wonderful holiday read.
ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS is the CUTEST Christmas book I’ve ever read. It’s also my first of the season so HOORAY for that! Anyway, this book seems to be geared for the young adult crowd and I agree BUT I think a YOUNGER bunch in the group would be the best fit for this one. It’s very cutsie, cozy, and sweet. If I had to describe the perfect age range this novel, I would actually say 12-14. So maybe it’s more middle grade than anything. IDK! It’s hard to say because the characters are older in the story but it’s also a very PURE if you get my drift. No sex, maybe two scenes with kissing, and that’s it. Regardless of the age range, I really enjoyed this one. I am a big Christmas lover, and this book had the best descriptions of Christmas and all the traditions that go with it throughout the novel. You can’t read this one without getting a few Christmas tunes stuck in your head. And the COOKIES they talk about? Made me drool! I enjoyed it a lot.
If you enjoy reading Holiday themed novels in the months leading up to Christmas, then I do recommend this one even though it’s on the sweeter side. Sometimes you just need a book that isn’t all about sex and relationships, and instead, one that really depicts sweet kids doing the nicest things out of the goodness of their hearts, and POSSIBLY falling in love in the process.
