Kindle Copy for Review from NetGalley and St. Martin Press.

I received a free, advance copy of this book and this is my unbiased and voluntary review.

A newly divorced woman buys and old farmhouse and gets more than she initially bargains. She did not expect the amount of work needed to sort through the previous owner furniture and junk.

She finds a Santa suit with a letter from a little girl wanting her father to wear it when he comes home from war. She becomes curious whether or not the little girl got her wish as she dives into the previous owner of the house.

A charming sweet read that brings the magic of the season to life.

Cutest story is filled with a relocating divorced woman, a handsome handyman realtor, new friends and the Santa suit of dreams.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The Santa Suit never captured my attention. It just didn’t have enough fast and furious action for me.

Sweet story that makes you smile. Obviously predictable, but that doesn’t take away from it being a nice, gentle read.

Great read.

Ivy bought an old farmhouse without visiting it, wanting a new start following her divorce. A mystery starts with an old santa suit she finds in the house. It leads her to make new friends and uncover the mystery along the way.

Mary Kay Andrews brings us an easy read for the holidays. Ivy, trying to put her life together after her divorce, buys the Four Roses Farm, sight unseen. She intends to remodel the home with all of the modern touches, but comes to love the house the way it is. She is aided in her fixing up by Ezra, her handsome realtor. When Ivy finds the Santa suit worn by the former owner and the child's note in the pocket she has a mystery to solve too. You will enjoy the story and the characters. I felt like I was having Christmas in May while I read this lovely story.

Another great holiday book by Mary Kay Andrews. The book had great main characters and a satisfiying ending to the mystery that was woven throughout. I also love the small town charm - reminded me a little of Stars Hollow for Gilmore Girls fans. For a shorter novel, I would have preferred a little less focus on the minor characters so that space could have been devoted to Ivy and her growing relationships. But still a fun quick read.

The Santa Suit is the perfect, feel good, Christmas book - I loved it! Heart warming and comforting grab a cup of hot cocoa and curl up with this book. You will believe in Santa again!

Santa Suit by Mary Kay Andrews. This novella is just waiting for someone from the Hallmark channel to make a christmas movie out of it. It was an enjoyable read if a little too sweet.  Usually something happens to derail the obvious outcome but not in this story. All kindness and smiles. Thanks St. Martin's Press for the chance to read this early offering.

Absolutely adorable fun holiday read from a favorite author. She never fails to create a terrific read. This one takes place (stating the obvious I know…) right before Christmas when Ivy and her dog have come to town following the implosion of both her personal and professional life, bought a home sight unseen (never ever do that!!) that no one ever bothered to empty, nothing that works right, does not even remotely resemble the pictures that the real estate agent showed her and just wanting to be left alone to mentally heal and regroup. Then she meets her elders white haired real estate agent who is anything, but and things really heat up. As she unpacks and starts to empty the house she finds a Santa Suit and magic happens. New friends, a new life and all so much more and better than she could have even hoped for. This is a quick read that is so sweet and so much fun. I read it in one sitting and was a little sad when it was done!

The Santa Suit is such a heartwarming story about Ivy Perkins who starts life over after buying a farm that she has never seen in person. She arrives into town and starts making many new friends and connections as she attempts to get her bearings. MKA as always creates endearing characters that seem like real people with real life stories.

Fast read, Sweet story about the magic of Christmas time and belief in magical things. Ivy buys an old abandoned farmhouse filled with everything Christmas, in a small town without ever seeing it in person. A few twists, a lot of love. Read by the fire with a cup of hot chocolate!

I am a MKA fan from way back, so it’s hard for me not to like her books. The Santa Suit is a feel-good Christmas story. Ivy Perkins abandoned her city life after divorce left her jobless and single to build a new life and renovate the Four Roses Farm. Luckily her real estate agent Ezra knew that she would need a lot of help to make the place livable. Finding out that the original owners were the town’s Santa and Mrs. Claus opens the story that then weaves lives from the past and present together. There’s a lot of magic that happens all because of the Santa suit she finds in the attic.

If you want a feel-good read, not one that has a lot of heavy emotional investment, but that simply makes you happy, then this is for you. This is a happy escape, and it truly encapsulates the magic of Christmas. Thanks, Mary Kay for another good read!

Mary Kay Andrews novels for me have always signaled summer is near, so I was thrilled to have the opportunity to read a Christmas novella from her!

Oh, Mary Kay definitely did not disappoint with The Santa Suit! I loved how there was a little bit of mystery melded with a little bit or romance to create a wonderful heartfelt holiday read! During the hustle and bustle of Christmas, I usually search out quicker and lighter reads, The Santa Suit is the absolute perfect selection for the holiday season! I found the characters and the storyline endearing and charming! I highly recommend The Santa Suit to everyone—such a fantastic accompaniment to your Christmastime celebrations!!

Loved it!!!! Mary Kay Andrews need to add an annual Christmas novel to her repertoire. This book has it all, a little romance, a little mystery, a little catfishing (internet style), and a ton of holiday touches.

This was such a fun book to read! It was a quick and easy read. I really enjoyed the characters of Ivy, Ezra and Lawrence. I enjoyed the significance of the Santa suit and how it all was brought together in the end.

Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The opinions are my own.

I seriously love this author and have yet to read a book from her that I did not absolutely love. The Santa Suit focuses on Ivy, a woman starting over after a divorce who buys a fabulous farmhouse that winds up being a bit of a fixer upper. There’s also the bonus of this being a Christmas story so we get to see the not only the relationships Ivy makes in her new home grow, we also see some holiday magic thrown into the mix! I think just about every character is a favorite of mine, each in their own way, and I have to say this was one book I wasn’t able to put down! Definitely another fantastic read by Mary Kay Andrews, that I would highly recommend to anyone!

I love, love, love Mary Kay Andrews and I am always delighted when there's a new book to read. I especially have loved her entries into the Christmas genre and The Santa Suit is another perfect novel for that category.

This is a shorter book than her summer novels but it has all of the charm. I would have delighted in a longer novel to be honest, mostly to get to know the sweet puppy better!

There's a little bit of mystery, a little bit of magic and a little bit of romance - the perfect recipe for a Christmas novel!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for an eARC copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

Short and sweet, a very cute little Christmas novella about Ivy, and her new life post-divorce. An easy, fun read. This would make an excellent Hallmark movie. Many thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the e-arc. Definitely puts you in the mood for Christmas magic!

What a sweet book! I have been reading a lot of books about WW 2 so was ready for a light, happy book with a happy ending. Don't get me wrong - the main character has her share of trials and traumas to deal with. But it really ended up being a feel good book that I would definitely recommend.
