Review: The Christmas Clash!


Who's naughty and nice at Riverwood Mall? In this hilarious holiday rom-com, two rivals get together to save their families' livelihoods, and Christmas, too!

Chloe Kwon can't stand Peter Li. It's always been that way. Their families don't get along either: their parents operate rival restaurants in the Riverwood Mall food court―Korean food for the Kwons and Chinese food for the Lis. Now it's the holiday season and Chloe's the photographer at the mall's Santa Land, and Peter works at the virtual reality North Pole experience right across the atrium. It's all Chloe can do to avoid Peter's smug, incredibly photogenic face.

But it turns out the mall is about to be sold to a developer and demolished for condos. Eviction notices are being handed out right before Christmas. Their parents don't know what to do, and soon Chloe and Peter realize that the two of them need to join efforts to try to save the mall. Just when it seems like they can put aside their differences and work closely (very closely) together, they discover that the Kwon and Li feud goes far deeper than either of them realize...

Plot: This was such a fun, festive read! I loved reading about Chloe and Peter trying to save the mall. I love malls, and it honestly makes me sad that they're fading, so to read a book with a mall was really nice. Chloe wanting to be a photographer was a good subplot! 

Characters: Chloe and Peter were both great leads! I loved their families, and their friends. The people (at least some of them!)  from the mall, and Chloe's photography mentor were all lovely.

The Cover: It's really cute and festive!

Overall: This was another wonderful book by Suzanne Park, who has become one of my favorite authors! A lovely, festive YA novel, that I would highly recommend reading!

I received an e-ARC from the publisher.
