Sara Raasch: The Nightmare Before Kissmas (2024, Doherty Associates, LLC, Tom) 4 stars

Anyway I will probably give myself to January 1st to finish this

This is a lovely book about someone being thrown from grace and coming to terms with how nasty of a person you have to be to keep that status. Adele grows a lot and for being a YA book, there's …
