The Twelve Dates of Christmas was a cute and very creative story. The characters, setting, and plot were well-written. I especially liked Lexi’s character, particularly because I could relate to her ambitious drive and big-city dreams. At times, I felt she was a little too conflicted, but her rationality and emotions actually mixed well in the end. The setting of Claus Lake was undeniably cute, especially with all the cutesy and quaint Christmastime rituals. I would have liked some of the smaller characters to have been developed more, because I felt several of them merely made appearances before they were written out. Overall, The Twelve Dates of Christmas was satisfactory, but it didn’t really stand out as particularly romantic or unforgettable.
The Twelve Dates of Christmas is a good read for the holiday season, and fans of Kissing Snowflakes by Abby Sher will also enjoy this story. I personally prefer Catherine Hapka’s Something Borrowed over this novel, and I can’t say The Twelve Dates of Christmas is one of the better Simon Pulse Romantic Comedies that I’ve read, but, nonetheless, it’s a fun and enjoyable read.
