Kayleigh's Thoughts
How My Neighbor Stole Christmas by Meghan Quinn is a quirky, rom-com holiday novel with a heavy nod to The Grinch. Set in the whimsical town of Kringletown, the story features festive contests, year-round decorations, and a classic grumpy-sunshine trope between Cole Black (the neighborhood Grinch) and Storee Taylor (his Christmas-loving next-door nemesis).
The setup is clever and charming—complete with character parallels to The Grinch (AuntCindy, Max the dog, etc.), and the audiobook adds even more whimsy with narration that mimics the tone of the original Grinch narrator.
Imagine The Grinch, but with kissing, sarcasm, and a lot of spice. That’s exactly what Meghan Quinn delivers in this surprisingly clever (but very adult) holiday rom-com.
