What a sweet perfect Holiday book. Loved this one. Thank you Mary Kay Andrews for making the beginning of my Christmas reads wonderful.
I loved it all, small town, old home/cabin, finding the old letters and the Santa Suit Trying to bring back the nostalgia. The hot hunky neighbor was a nice touch too.
MKA does a wonderful job in bringing her readers a light holiday book to enjoy on a chilly day or night.
This book was a great holiday read. I enjoyed everything about it. Thank you net galley for the early release copy.
I enjoy Mary Kay Andrews and like to read a good Christmas story. This was a fun one. Hallmark movie like, but not in a bad way. Just enough mystery and adventure to keep it exciting..
I received a reviewer copy of The Santa Suit by Mary Kay Andrews from the publisher St. Martin’s Press from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
What It’s About: Newly divorced Ivy buys a new farmhouse that won her over but needs major work. The house has a legacy of Christmas and Ivy is not feeling so jolly. But Ivy is not feeling very merry. However she finds an old Santa suit with a note from a young girl who only wants her father to come home. Ivy is touched by this note and seeks to try to find out if the girl ever got her wish.
What I Loved: This book is sweet as sugar. This is the perfect little holiday book. I love the small town vibes and the friendliness. It makes me want to go to a small town in the South for the holidays which is a weird sensation. I loved this book so much. It was a delightful story. I loved the romance. I loved the old people in the story, a beloved curmudgeon.
What I didn’t like so much: This was a little cheesy and maybe a little traditional but oh well, it was a good holiday read.
Who Should Read It: People who love a sweet holiday story of family and new love.
Summary: A lovely book about finding the joy and magic in Christmas.
I absolutely loved this book! I found it hard to put down. I highly recommend reading it! You won’t be disappointed.
Loved this! MKA always delivers. The characters were great and I enjoyed the story. The little bit of mystery in this book also kept it interesting. I also enjoyed the setting. I would love to live in a place like this. Thank you for the copy of this book !

I appreciate the opportunity to review this title before it was published and hope you will continue to approve access to your titles!

Ho ho ho! This holiday read will get you in the Christmas spirit for sure! A bit of holiday magic and a lot of heart is at the center of this short tale.
I did not finish this book. It never caught my interest. I might include it in a suggested reading list as some of my students might find it an easy read.

Perfect Christmas Read!
If you love a good Hallmark movie, you're going to love this one from Mary Kay Andrews. With the small-town background and a little mystery, you'll fall in love with Ivy Perkins and her adventures. A perfect short novel to get you into the holiday spirit!
Loved this sweet story! Just enough romance and just enough mystery to keep me happily engaged to the very end. Appreciated that it was full of the holiday spirit without being too overwhelming.
This book made me feel so warm and happy. If you want to get yourself in the holiday spirit I highly recommend it! 5 Santa suits for this one!
Thank you to Netgalley for this early copy. As always her writing is seamless and characters loveable. Enjoyed this holiday read.
Ivy Perkins buys an old farmhouse that needs a ton of work done on it. She starts cleaning the house out and finds a Santa suit in a closet. There is a note in the pocket of the suit that asks Santa to bring her dad home. Ivy begins a search to try to find out who wrote the note. She meets a guy and their journey begins. Will they find love or just be friends? It is a very sweet story and I definitely enjoyed reading it.
The Santa Suit is a light-hearted easy-going book. This is a perfect holiday book to get you in the Christmas spirit without disrupting too much of the holiday hustle and bustle. The characters are light and fluffy and you get a nice and cozy feeling by the end of the book. Ivy, the main protagonist, can be a bit insufferable at times due to her unwillingness to immerse herself in her new community, but she eventually comes around.
This was fun, romantic Christmas story. Perfect for the holidays to experience warm and cozy feelings.
What a fun Christmas book! Very lighthearted and fun, but nothing really memorable. Thanks for letting me read this book.
This fun holiday book is a fun and quick read. I enjoyed the storyline and the characters. Another winner from an amazing author.
This was a cute book! I felt like I was reading a Hallmark movie…which I loved! It was a perfect, quick, Christmas read.
The Santa Suit is a feel good romance about a woman that purchases an older home/farm online, sight unseen and finds that the contents of the previous owner have all been left behind.
That's how Ivy discovers the Santa suit and a special letter in the pocket.
I enjoyed reading about Ivy's adventures to track down the people in the letter and her budding romance with her realtor Ezra.
