A funny narrative of a family around the holidays which made me feel less like mine is the only one that's messy. Quick read and fun.

Sometimes I just want a short and Christmas book and Oh. What. Fun. fill this need great. Also, it's a perfect stocking stuffer type of read.

"Oh, What. Fun." is a short comedic holiday theme story about this chaotic big family Christmas days, their traditions, and the mom...going MIA.
Yep, that's the premise of Chandler Baker's story: A fun premise for a fun easy read.
That being said...I didn't have so much fun reading it, the funniest character for me was the sketchy new boyfriend one of the brothers had. That I found hilarious every time, but I kind of get bored with everything else.
If you pick this one you will get shady neighbors, a mother going bonkers on tv, Christmas competitive spirit, family traditions, shitty boyfriends (my favorite), and...a weird narrator. Now, do what you want with that information.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a review copy. I just loved this Christmas short story by Chandler Baker. It was so dead on accurate about all the work that Moms do to make Christmas magical for the whole family, while subsequently being over looked. The mystery and intrigue, and interrogation type writing style all added to the effect for me. Definitely recommend this for your TBRs.
