All I Want for Christmas Is the Girl Who Can't Love

De: Chelsea Bobulski

Narrado por: Erin Dillon, Kyle Racas

Get swept up in this holiday romance as Chelsea Bobulski’s All I Want for Christmas young-adult contemporary series comes to an end by exploring the hope and magic of unforgettable love.

College freshman Savannah Mason doesn’t believe in magic or true love. She believes in science, and science tells her that love is nothing more than a biological impulse to breed - an impulse that can, thankfully, be ignored. Which is a good thing because no woman in her family has ever been lucky in love. In fact, all of them have ended up brokenhearted and insistent on blaming a mysterious, vengeful curse. But Savannah is determined to rewrite her story, and as far as she’s concerned, she’s never going to fall in love.

Jordan Merrick is a junior at William and Mary and on the fast track to obtaining his life’s goal: becoming the next Ron Chernow. He vaguely imagines that, someday, he’ll have a wife and kids. But like Hamilton himself, Jordan’s drive is to accomplish his goals as quickly as possible. Love can come another day once his career is cemented.

What neither Savannah nor Jordan planned on is meeting each other, and as they keep crossing paths on campus and Savannah finds herself helping at Jordan’s archaeology site, all their reasons for putting their love lives on the back burner start to blur.

Forged together, Savannah and Jordan investigate Savannah’s family’s curse on love and explore a collection of love letters between a revolutionary soldier and the girl he left behind. But when they come face-to-face with the truth about themselves - and with the truth about what they’ve become to each other - Jordan’s outlook on love starts to waver, and he begins to wonder if he can convince Savannah that love is real. But will Savannah run before her heart is able to let go of cynicism and believe in the power and magic of love?

At once thought-provoking and charming, All I Want for Christmas Is the Girl Who Can’t Love will stir a longing in every listener's heart for the hope in magic and romance that can only be found during the holiday season.

Best little Christmas series

This one takes place at college freshmen year and has such a wonderful representation of what it’s like to begin your journey after leaving home. From issues with studying and sleeping through midterms to how scary it can be to let people into your life this was a fun story grounded in the real and complex feelings most freshmen go through their first semester.

I have loved this series and I am sad this was the last because Chelsea’s writing always had me smiling. If you want holiday retellings against the backdrop of Christmas and finding where you fit into the world around you, in this case through an archeological dig searching for love letters from American history, this is a beautiful place to start.
