Resting Scrooge Face by Meghan Quinn

4.0

You’ve Got Mail gets a holiday twist in this swoon-worthy novella from Meghan Quinn. Resting Scrooge Face sees Nola moving back home after a bad breakup right at the holidays. As if that isn’t bad enough, her little town is known for its Christmas cheer and is also the home of the boy who she never got over. When she receives an anonymous letter from a fellow Scrooge, Nola finds herself drawn to the mystery penpal and despite her own feelings writing back.

I adored the twist in this little book. Clocking in at under 70 pages, I devoured it in one sitting, just before bed. Nola’s and Caleb’s relationship unfolds through flirty notes passed back and forth anonymously by a matchmaking mailman. When they see each other in person however, the tension is palpable. Neither wants to admit their feelings for each other, or the hurt that is still present years later.

Overall, this novella is a sweet and swoony read. The letters easily pulled me into the story. If you are a fan of romance, Quinn, or just looking for a quick read, I highly recommend it.
