“All I Want for Christmas is Utahraptor” by Lola Faust

There are certain books that change you. Books that make it so that you can never see the world the same way again. Books that, dare I say it, define an entire generation and will be read, remembered, and beloved for centuries to come. Price & Prejudice. A Tale of Two Cities. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Catch-22. The Lord of the Rings. And Lola Faust, author of All I Want for Christmas is Utahraptor, may well have read some of them.


Holly isn’t satisfied. Her big-city finance boyfriend Thad is, in theory, everything a girl could want. He’s rich, handsome, and happy to support “Hottie Holly” in her Etsy business selling upcycled antiques. But he’s also always focused on closing his next major deal, keeping his father’s venture capital empire growing. The love and affection he once showered her with is an ever-more-distant memory.


This comes to a head when Holly goes home to Utah for Christmas, and reconnects with her old high school boyfriend, the 12-foot tall Utahraptor Rocky. And she learns that maybe it’s OK for her to want more. And maybe she even deserves - dare I say it - true love?


Fun and smutty. 9.5/10, almost no notes (Rocky should have been a single dad). Looking forward to the Hallmark TV adaptation starring Lacey Chabert.
