Noelle and Collin just make me smile without thinking throughout the storyline. Sweet romcom using the more modern topic of influencers. Felt like the super sweet Christmas movies one or two networks make in batches each year. Nothing overly new or exceptional in quality, but just kept me interested the whole way.

If you enjoy a good Hallmark Christmas movie, then Laughing All The Way is the book for you. A big city online influencer finds love in a small town in this predictable, easy read. Not a lot of spice as far as the romance goes, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

Thank you to NetGalley for this chance. i would suggest this book to anyone wanting a holiday book. i thought it was fun and easy to read. Gave off The Grinch vibes and a all around good Christmas book. It felt heartwarming. A romance version involving the Grinch. I would have enjoyed more of Colin and Noelle maybe 6 more chapters atleast. I felt there was more room to add on more.

This is your typical Christmas romance with the perfect festive town, the perfect Christmas lover and the Grinch. I liked Colin, the male protagonist, even though his overly Christmas cheer was a little too much at times but Noelle’s character was annoying as hell. I rolled my eyes many times, and even though she had slow character development that was supposed to make the reader warm up to her, I wasn’t swayed. This book gave me a Hallmark movie feel which I’m not a fan of and while I love a good grumpy and sunshine trope, this book didn’t live up to it. You might like this book if you’re looking for a cosy romance but if you’re looking for some good old sexual tension, this might be a good choice.

It had been a long time since I sat down and read a book on my Kindle (and only did it because there was no audiobook), but I will forever be enchanted with my experience reading Laughing All The Way by Mia Summers. It just so happened to be snowing the day I decided to read this, so I decided to throw on some instrumental Christmas music, light a couple of candles, and enjoy this Christmas-themed read in March. That is really the best way to enjoy this book, and if you are a Hallmark movie lover like me, this will be right up your alley. Noelle is full of sass and snark while Colin is an adorably young mayor of the most Christmasy town she has ever seen. The plot is the epitome of a Hallmark Christmas movie and that is most likely part of the reason I loved it so dang much.

This is a closed-door romance so the bit we do get isn't spicy, and that is just the way I like it. I grabbed Laughing All The Way because I loved the synopsis, and I am really disappointed that I haven't really seen it on Bookstagram. Honestly, I don't think I have seen this AUTHOR on there much either, and I want to be the person to change that starting immediately. Summers has 3 other books out right now and they have all been added to my TBR, no audiobooks be damned. I loved her writing, and she kept me laughing all the way through this novel (no pun intended). If you are a reader who loves Hallmark (or Lifetime!), banter, and all things Christmas, I highly recommend this grumpy (Noelle)/sunshine (Colin) delight.

This book was a tough one for me. I loved the grinchy romance vibes but it felt so over the top. Sometimes over the top I LOVE and cackle at. This one felt like I was looking at someone who was trying to be funny, and missing the mark.

The grumpy sunshine was okay. I just didn't feel a connection with the character or book. I think it was an easy fast read, but it has to be someone with the perfect sense of humor. The good news is it's short so if it isn't your cup of tea it's easy to move on to the next. I wanted it to be Just Like Magic when I saw the first few humor lines, but it felt off

3.5/5 stars .

Cute and funny, this book is great for Christmas, or any other time of year. Fun romance, comedy, and characters you'll enjoy laughing with.

A fun light hearted Christmas romance, with an influencer as the lead gong cynically to a small town Christmas festival celebration meeting her future! So fun.

Noelle Hamilton is an influencer who has an aversion to Christmas. Her online popularity and rating are declining so she is looking for something to give her a boost and win her fans back. Noelle has made her mark making fun of things, so she plans to do the same to Evergreen Creek - a Christmas town. Colin Bennet is the young, good-looking mayor of Evergreen Creek. He wants to keep the town traditions alive and is not exactly happy to know the influencer will be in his town. Colin plans to make sure Noelle sees just how amazing Christmas can be.

This is a short and cute, enemies-to-lovers holiday rom-com. The setting, Evergreen Creek, seemed super cute. It was fun reading about the people living there. It's not lost on me that someone with the name Noelle doesn't like Christmas. I loved Colin and Noelle's relationship and how things evolved throughout the story. "Laughing All The Way' is a cute, fun, short, hallmark-esque, holiday read.

Thank you Mia Summers, Sterling & Stone, and NetGalley for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for my honest review. Opinions expressed in this review are my own.

A Mia Summers Christmas novel that I wish that I had read between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Normally I am a sucker for Christmas and I just could not get into it this year. I'll just re-read this next year and get myself in the mood right away🤷.

This is the final Mia Summers book in my TBR and forgive me for saying that I'm ready for a bit of spice in my life after this one. I've read a lot of Mia Summers books recently and this is definitely spicier than the others. But definitely still not spicy. The storyline of this book is actually really great. While it does have a Hallmark Christmas movie feel to it, it does stray from that vibe and I really enjoyed reading this book. Could not put it down, obviously, as I'm typing this review at almost 1AM and I work at 7:30AM.

Our MC Noelle is a GRINCH. She's an internet famous YouTuber known for her bluntness. Colin is the handsome (and youngest) small town mayor (and the town Santa) of Christmas Town USA , aka Evergreen Creek. He obviously loves Christmas.

Noelle pays a trip to Evergreen Creek for work, covering the annual Christmas Festival which doubles as one of the struggling small town's fundraisers.


I honestly did not like Noelle's character in the beginning. Idc why she hates Christmas, her terribly negative attitude bleeds into her own thoughts and it gave me the ick. Colin is the perfect counterbalance to Noelle's and trust me when I tell you that you'll fall in love with both of them. And the town of Evergreen Creek.

This book explores difficult family relationships that inevitably come to light during the holidays. There are wonderful themes of community and forgiveness. This book is sure to warm your heart with Christmas spirit and this is the best Mia Summers book I've read.

This book was wonderful! It read just like a hallmark movie and I enjoyed every second of it. However I feel the storyline is too overdone, but some people (me included) absolutely love that about story’s like this one!

I love how this felt like a cute, cheesy hallmark movie. It’s perfect for the holidays, but it felt a little rushed.

This is a completely fun and lighthearted Christmas themed story featuring a grumpy/sunshine pair. Evergreen Creek is the ultimate Christmas town. Noelle is a successful influencer, but her ratings are declining and she's looking for something to help boost them back up. Her best option is to cover a town that's obsessed with Christmas, the complete opposite of her sentiments toward the season. Colin is the mayor of the town and committed to keeping its legacy alive. He is determined to not let Noelle's sass and snarky attitude interfere with that and show her how great Christmas can really be.
A sweet and heartwarming story that left me with a warm feeling afterward. If you're looking for a cozy and light read, then you definitely will want to give this a try.
I received a complimentary copy from Netgalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

If you're looking for a quick, Christmassy read, this is perfect for you! It's a bit cheesy (as you expect from most Christmas themed stories) but it's light and the characters are lovable.

3 stars 😊

I received this book as an ARC from Netgalley for my honest review! Thank you Netgalley! Hallmark, Grinch Christmas! This is my least favorite by this author but I do feel a little harder to please in Holiday romances. I really want to feel that extra tingle of magic and it just wasn't there. Still enjoyable though!

He loves Christmas, she hates it.
He wants positive publicity she wins her audience with sarcasm and by making fun of something.

A very entertaining and a bit like a Hallmark film story in a great Christmas setting.

Have fun reading for yourself!

I wanted to like this book but there were so many things that I couldnt move past and give it more than 3 stars.

-the writing style did not work for me at all.
-there were grammatic errors, not the basic ones but error in the names of the characters.
-it was difficult to track which POV I am reading


I could not stay connected to the book and had to DNF.

Cute holiday romcom—hallmark vibes! I found the main character a tad grating at first, so appreciated the speed at which the plot developed!
