WoW: You’re a Mean One Matthew Prince by Timothy Janovsky

This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!

Bring a little joy to the world?

Not today, Santa.

Matthew Prince is young, rich, and thoroughly spoiled. So what if his parents barely remember he exists and the press is totally obsessed with him? He’s on top of the world. But one major PR misstep later, and Matthew is cut off and shipped away to spend the holidays in his grandparents’ charming small town hellscape. Population: who cares?

It’s bad enough he’s stuck in some festive winter wonderland—it’s even worse that he has to share space with Hector Martinez, an obnoxiously attractive local who’s unimpressed with anything and everything Matthew does.

Just when it looks like the holiday season is bringing nothing but heated squabbles, the charity gala loses its coordinator and Matthew steps in as a saintly act to get home early on good behavior…with Hector as his maddening plus-one. But even a Grinch can’t resist the unexpected joy of found family, and in the end, the forced proximity and infectious holiday cheer might be enough to make a lonely Prince’s heart grow three sizes this year.

Why I’m Waiting: A ROM-COMY GRINCH RE-TELLING?! AND IT’S QUEER?! ERMAHGAWD. This is the retelling I didn’t know I needed. I know this is just a “Grumpy/Sunshine” book, but who cares lol I’m going to say this is a Grinch retelling and leave it at that. Anyways, this title alone has me super excited! And I love this cover! I really think this is another book I would read before the Christmas season just because I’m so excited for it. I can’t wait to get my hands on this!

What about you? Have you read a Grinch retelling? Do you want to? What do you think about the cover? Let me know in the comments!
