[Book Review] Pride and Prejudice and Mistletoe by Melissa de la Cruz

Book Review of Pride and Prejudice and Mistletoe by Melissa de la Cruz

I finally kicked off my holiday reading with Pride and Prejudice and Mistletoe by Melissa de la Cruz, which is an adorable Hallmark-ish romance. As you all know, I just love this genre.

I first heard about this book when Melissa of Chick Lit Central posted about it. I was so thrilled when she then reached out to me and offered to send me her copy once she was done! Thanks again Melissa!

Let’s dive in!

My Thoughts on Pride and Prejudice and Mistletoe by Melissa de la Cruz

I’m a total sucker for cutesy Hallmark-ish romances. This book certainly fit the bill!

The writing was light and very easy to read. The dialogue was realistic. The characters were lovely. The plot was predictable, sure, but oh so adorable. I picked this up one afternoon and didn’t put it down until I had read the whole book.

I really enjoyed Darcy as a main character, even though she seemed a bit immature. The way the author let her run away with her thought spirals was so realistic! For example, when a group of characters were out caroling and singing the Twelve Days of Christmas, Darcy starts asking questions about the song. Once she gets started, one questions leads to another, and another, and another! I thought this scene was absolutely hilarious! And her questions were all ones that I had wondered myself!

My Favorite Passage from Pride and Prejudice and Mistletoe

You can’t pour from an empty cup. Take care of yourself first, otherwise you’ll have nothing to work with.

My Final Thoughts on Pride and Prejudice and Mistletoe

I just loved this book! Sure, it was quite predictable, but it was such a fun and light read that was perfect for this time of year!

I would definitely recommend this book to fans of cutesy holiday romances!

    I like the passage you chose, it's very true! I enjoyed having the Darcy character both be a woman and be the main character in this one.

    Sounds like the perfect holiday read. I find that around the holidays I enjoy some books that I just wouldn't consider during the rest of the year. This author has a good track record as well.

    My go-to background movies while I blog during the holiday season is Hallmark movies. I don't think I've ever read a Christmas themed book before. Maybe I'll add this one to next year's list. Glad you enjoyed it!

    For some reason I'm actually not a massive fun of the original Pride and Prejudice story, but I don't mind reading retellings of it. It sounds like this one was Christmassy cute!
