Books Details

"Deck the halls with boughs of holly—and a property line dispute that is about to get very, very personal."

In How My Neighbor Stole Christmas, Meghan Quinn introduces us to a neighborhood rivalry that would make the Grinch proud. The story follows a protagonist who is obsessed with the holiday season, transforming her home into a dazzling winter wonderland every December. However, her festive spirit is consistently dampened by her next-door neighbor, a brooding, cynical man who seems determined to rain on her parade—quite literally. The "atmosphere" of the novel is electric with competitive energy, set against a backdrop of twinkling LED lights, oversized inflatable reindeer, and the snowy streets of a tight-knit community where gossip travels faster than Santa’s sleigh.

The narrative thrives on the "grumpy-sunshine" dynamic. While she is all about gingerbread and joy, he is the embodiment of a holiday "bah-humbug." Their relationship is defined by a series of increasingly ridiculous escalations—from light-hanging competitions to arguments over carolers. But as the snow piles up and the temperature drops, the two are forced into close quarters, revealing that their mutual irritation is actually a thin veil for a deep, simmering attraction. Quinn masterfully peels back the layers of her characters, showing that the hero’s cynicism stems from past hurts, while the heroine’s relentless optimism is her way of shielding herself from the loneliness of her own life.

What makes How My Neighbor Stole Christmas a standout in 2026 is its perfect balance of "sweet and heat." It delivers the cozy, heartwarming moments expected of a Christmas story while maintaining the spicy, adult edge that Meghan Quinn is famous for. For readers who enjoyed The Hating Game or The Christmas Fix, this novel offers a hilarious look at how love can bloom in the most inconvenient places. It explores the idea that the person who annoys you the most might actually be the one who understands you best. By the time the Christmas Eve gala arrives, the neighborhood war has turned into a partnership that proves the best gifts aren't found under a tree, but right next door.
