Year 6, week 15: Alaskan Holiday

This week's book:
Alaskan Holiday
By Debbie Macomber

It's the first day of December, so it's time to start the holiday themed books. The last few years I have started the month with a Christmas romance by Debbie Macomber. All of the books she writes are super lame, like a Hallmark Channel Christmas movie, without all the magic. The books sometimes has a Christian themed, sometimes not, but always super G-rated. I bought a whole stack of them at a used book sale earlier this year, just for prepping for December. 

This novel feels like the reader miss the first one hundred pages. The story is about a young chef that has been in Alaska for seven months and has had a "relationship" with a local, but she is heading back to the mainland to work at a fancy restaurant. The guy in Alaska tries to propose in quite possibly the worst proposal ever. She says no, but the whole town thinks she should marry him. The whole no-means-no isn't followed in this book. 

In the past I have just been able to shrug my shoulders and say, it's just silly mind fluff, but holy smokes this book is bad. I don't recommend this at all.
