Book Review: "The Holiday Switch" by Tif Marcelo

If you're looking for a cute YA rom-com about family pressures, secrets, and the joys of the holidays, pick up Tif Marcelo's The Holiday Switch!

Note: This isn’t anything like The Holiday Swap, although it’s easy to confuse the two!

Lila is a type-A overachiever with big dreams. She’s hoping to get as many hours as she can at her part-time job working at the local inn, so she can help her parents pay for college.

Her hopes for more hours are foiled with the arrival of Teddy, her boss’ (super-cute) college-student nephew, as he’ll be staying over the holidays. Lila agrees to train him, but Teddy wants to do things his own way, and it’s not long before he and Lila start butting heads over everything, from the way he folds t-shirts to his never following any of the procedures Lila has outlined.

When the two accidentally pick up each other’s phones one night (and of course, both can’t help but snoop), both realize that the other has secrets. Lila is secretly the author of a popular holiday book review blog, but she can’t let her parents know. But what’s Teddy hiding? Where does he keep disappearing to?

All it takes is the return of movie stars to the inn—the setting for a much-loved holiday movie—and an unexpected snowstorm to shake everything up. What will happen if their secrets get out? And is there a chance for Lila and Teddy to be more than coworkers?

If you’re looking for a clean, sweet holiday romance with a diverse, multicultural cast of characters, pick this up!
