Review
I just want you all to know, Christmas will never die!!!!!!!! So I will be reviewing a Christmas book in January and no one can stop me! (My review website, my rules!!!)
Liam left his childhood home to escape the expectations his family put on him. So when he returns home, he is rather shocked to find out the Christmas Tree Farm he was supposed to inherit is now up for sale. Uncertain where this leads him, Liam also wasn’t expecting to work with his childhood crush Olive to make this the Last Best Christmas Ever. Will Olive be able to give Liam back his Christmas cheer right before the sale? Or will they both end up with broken hearts all over again?…
This book was soooo cute! The romance was funny and very sweet. It was totally clean, though there are topics like kissing, making out and such. There are some moments where a character says something then gets embarrassed when they realize what it sounds like. Nothing inappropriate just funny. Overall, a very sweet novel perfect for young ladies 15 and up!
Courtney Walsh’s books are not for kids. These fantastic novels are usually for teens 15 and up. Not because they have “bad stuff” in them. Just because they are written for an older audience. I really love her books, and I believe between my mom and I, we now own all but 2 of her books!
Overall, I totally suggest this authors amazing novels! This one is fabulous, totally adorable and perfect for Christmas! (Or after Christmas 😉 ) I hope you are all enjoying the snow!!!! -The Young Llama Reader.

Cons
- Not a kids book.
A second chance with your first crush. Doesn’t happen often. For Liam Fisher, that first crush was his next door neighbor, Olive Witherby. Childhood was lazy summers, treehouse stargazing, and endless games of hide and seek at Pine Creek, the Christmas tree farm that’s been in Liam’s family for generations.
When Liam moves away, he and Olive say goodbye the only way they know how—with a fumbling first kiss neither of them will ever forget. Even though twelve-year olds’ promises of keeping in touch feel eternal, time and distance eventually make Olive and Liam practically strangers.
Twenty years later, Liam’s parents announce they’re retiring and selling the tree farm. Twenty years later, Pine Creek is the last place grown-up Liam wants to be. Inherit this legacy? Not on your life. And twenty years later, grown-up Olive is stuck.
Her work life is a lot like her love life—floundering. After a humiliating business failure, loads of debt, and one too many laughable first dates, she’s in no hurry to put herself out there again, in business or in romance.
When Olive is hired by Liam’s parents to rekindle the lost magic of the farm one final time before it’s sold, she sets out to make this the last, best Pine Creek Christmas, for the town and for a very cranky, not-so-talkative, surprisingly attractive Liam.
Part of her mission? Convince the crank to fall in love with Christmas. The other part? Not fall head over heels in the process.
