Christmas is not my favorite. Not since I lost my dad last year. The lights, the music, the happy people. Everything reminds me of him. And if he were around still, maybe he could get Chad to leave me alone.
On top of all that, Mr. Walker had to give us this assignment to be a Secret Santa for someone, and you'll never guess who I got. Okay, you probably can, but can you ...more

Claire was an amazing young lady who had grace and spunk. She thought Chad was a pain but..... Throw in a secret Santa assignment which seems to get these two together and you have the makings of either an awesome friendship or the beginning of misery. Of course there are mean girls - I mean this is high school - never understood mean girls. Loved her family and best friend - more than one romance happening in this book. I listened to the audio book and the narrator was just the best. Her switch

My Secret Santa is a great start to a new series; it is a standalone read though. Chad and Claire, the two main characters, are teens who have lost and are mourning a family member. In spite of that, the book left me feeling uplifted. The characters are likeable, especially once you understand the reasons behind what they do. They get a happy ending. There's some of the typical teen angst and mean girls, but it's not the focus of the book. I'm old, and I enjoyed reading the book. I would recomme

My Secret Santa is a really sweet story of Claire, who is facing her first Christmas without her dad, and Chad, who lost his sister two years ago. There is some teen angst and a little cyber bullying, but mostly this book is about moving on while honoring (not forgetting) those you have lost. The story is well paced, insightful and has interesting characters. I really enjoyed it.
