Our Totally, Ridiculous, Made-up Christmas Relationship is absolute perfection! Brittainy C. Cherry delivers one of the most enjoyable books of 2013 with this novella, and it’s a definite must read for me.I didn’t know what to expect when I got my hands on this ARC, but I was totally sold on the title before I even opened the book. This lighthearted story is the perfect anecdote to any book hangover. It’s a quick read that had me laughing and left me with a goofy smile. In my opinion, it’s often hard to convey humor in a story without it being over the top or under whelming. Brittainy C. Cherry completely nails the wit and delivery of jokes from each of her characters. The story is upbeat and has minimal drama – actually most of the drama is quite humorous. There is no angst, no gut wrenching cliffhangers, just pure satisfaction.Each character is unique and quite eccentric. Despite all of their flaws or quirks, you can’t help but love each one. Yes, even the villains. The chemistry between Jules and Kayden is playful and witty, a step away from the monotonous passion, lust, and instant-love you often see in romance novels these days. The awkward moments and uncomfortable tension between the Stone family are something I think everyone can relate to. No family gathering is perfect and people often dread spending the holidays with their extended families. I know I do.This novella is charming; heart warming, and a story everyone should read during the holiday season. Our Totally, Ridiculous, Made-Up Christmas Relationship by Brittainy C. Cherry is utter comedic bliss!
