Merry Christmas You Filthy Animal by Meghan Quinn

Nothing says ‘I love you’ like trespassing, public humiliation, and a town-wide Christmas spectacle to win your crush back . . .

Atlas ‘Max’ Maxheimer did not sign up for public humiliation this Christmas, but what’s what he’s about to get. One minute, he’s anxiously trying to keep his family’s Christmas tree farm – Evergreen – from imploding. The next? He’s passed out in the snow after getting clocked by a suspiciously strong bottle of soda.

And then there’s Betty. Betty is new in town, full of holiday cheer and, worst of all, is helping her uncle open a rival tree farm next door. Max is convinced she’s out to destroy everything Evergreen Farm stands for. Betty thinks Max might be one sleigh short of a winter parade.

Cue the holiday chaos . . .

Between blizzards, blown reputations and one stolen ornament with a seriously tragic backstory, this small-town war turns into something far messier – and much more delicious – than either of them expected.
