Merry Christmas, You Filthy Animal (Deluxe Edition) (How My Neighbor Stole Christmas)
*The limited deluxe edition comes with printed edges*
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Meghan Quinn comes a brand new holiday rom-com with all the humor and heat her fans adore.
Nothing says I love you like trespassing, public humiliation, and a town-wide Christmas spectacle to win your crush back.
Atlas "Max" Maxheimer did not sign up for this. One minute, he's anxiously trying to keep his family's Christmas tree farm from imploding. The next? He's passed out in the snow after getting clocked by a suspiciously strong bottle of soda.
Enter Betty: new in town, full of holiday cheer, and helping her uncle open a rival tree farm next door. Max is convinced she's out to destroy everything Evergreen Farm stands for. Betty thinks Max might be one sleigh short of a winter parade.
Cue the holiday chaos.
Between blizzards, blown reputations, wildly misguided romantic plots, and one stolen ornament with a seriously tragic backstory, this small-town war turns into something far messier--and much more delicious--than either of them expected.
Tropes:
- Holiday hijinks
- Small-town laughs
- Rivals to lovers

Readers who loved How My Neighbor Stole Christmas will be excited to revisit Kringletown and get Max's tale. But if you haven't read Cole's love story, like yours truly, have no fear. I was able to follow along and get the gist of the previous book's events. If anything, it made me more eager to add it to my TBR.
Merry Christmas You Filthy Animal imagines how two people who have a bad case of word vomit would get along and fall in love. Both Max and Betty get really awkward when they're nervous - which makes for some of the funniest dialogue I've ever read. The main characters start out as rivals due to Max's history in the small town and huge misunderstandings. But Max's plan to save his family's business is just as outlandish as he can be. What he nor Betty counted on was that not everything is quite as it seems. Before they know it, they're head over snow boots.
Max and Betty's love story is beautiful, hilarious, and tons of fun. Plus, the author bumps up the creativity when it comes to naughty times with holiday treats. Oh, and there's over 100 Home Alone references for readers to find.
