This was so much fun! I really loved it. I've read previous books from this author and have enjoyed all of them.

I’ll read anything Timothy Janovsky writes, and A Mannequin for Christmas just proves why. This book is pure holiday magic. It’s funny, heartfelt, a little whimsical, and packed with the kind of charm that only Janovsky can deliver. He has such a gift for creating characters you instantly want to root for and stories that feel both delightfully quirky and deeply human.

The premise is fresh and unexpected, but somehow it works perfectly, equal parts rom-com and emotional warmth. I laughed, I swooned, and I may have even teared up a little. Janovsky balances humor and heart like no one else, and this festive gem is yet another example of why he’s a must-read author for me.

If you’re looking for something that will make your heart feel full and your holiday season brighter, A Mannequin for Christmas is exactly what you need.

Vibes: The 2000 Disney classic Life Sized (starring Tyra Banks), but make it gay.

I loved that a story with such a silly plot was able to make me feel so many big feelings! If you love holiday romance movies this is the story for you. Humor, kitsch, fun supporting characters, and main characters you truly want to root for - what else can you ask for?

Thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin’s Press for providing me with a copy of the book.

I love this author. I have read a lot by this author and have loved every book I have come across. I was sucked into this book from the first page and wished I had more story to read.

This twist in a tale was so unique and interesting. The love story of Henry and Aidan was anything but easy but the story was full of joy, learning, reflection, and even sorrow at times but with the purpose of showing humanity in its most basic form. Timothy Janovsky never fails to write compelling, engaging stories and characters that I can’t help but love.

Timothy Janovsky has made magic once again! He has the ability to bring such wonderful, complex characters to life. Just when you think you know who the character is and what direction the story will go in, Janovsky surprises the reader by giving additional layers to the character and the storyline. Not once did I get stalled in reading. The pages were turned so quickly and the ending came too fast.

This is the story of Henry Aster and his quest for finding love and happiness. With the holidays quickly approaching, Henry makes a wish. But not just any old wish. A wish for the perfect man. His perfect man ended up being "someone" he has known his whole life. The male mannequin he has made many window displays with over the years at his Great Aunt Isla's store. There were so many layers to peel back to watch Henry and Aidan blossom. It took the characters in getting to know themselves as well as each other to say the story was complete. I highly recommend this book!

I absolutely LOVED the mannequin movie growing up so I was super excited to check this book out and it was incredible! Such a fun concept and so well done. This is now my second book by the author and I’m becoming such a big fan. This has romance, family love, a sweet antique shop, and Christmas vibes. Also, the cover is stunning!

I absolutely loved these books. I can't wait until I can read the next book by Timothy Janovsky. Five out of five stars from me and would be more if I could.
