Nick and Noel's Christmas Playlist by Codi Hall
This was a cute read, but the characters were very millennial coded for not being in that age group. For being a lighthearted Christmas book, the characters had some baggage. Nick just gets out of the military and immediately gets broken up with. Then, said ex spends the entire book trying to get back together with him. Noel is an orphan who hasn't processed the death of her parents and because of that can't handle emotionally complex relationships. She starts the book finding out her situationship has moved on to a real relationship. She and Nick decide to make out on the dance floor in front of both of their exes to show how fine they are with the situation. But, this complicates things for their friendship. They decide to pretend to date for the town, but not for his family. They get cock blocked twice, which was hysterical. On their first official date Nick helps his ex change a flat tire and when she tries to come onto him again he firmly puts her in her place, but Noel is done. She leaves. Her guy friends take her home, but when they hear what happens the side with Nick and tell her she needs to get her shit together. She does, by making Nick a playlist because that's how they communicate best. They end up at the Christmas concert. His mic is on and the ex tries, again. He gives his great speech about Noel and the whole town gives him a round of applause. They make up on stage. Also, said ex is a bridesmaid in a wedding with Noel and things aren't going well, until after that moment, then they are able to make a truce. Nick and Noel are finally together. This was a little longer than it needed to be, but it was enjoyable enough that I will read his sister's books.
