Luther and Nora Krank decide that, just this once, they'll skip Christmas altogether. Theirs will be the only house on the street without a rooftop Frosty the snowman; they won't be hosting their annual Christmas Eve bash; they aren't even going to have a tree. They won't need one, because come December 25 they're setting sail on a Caribbean cruise. But, as this weary couple is about to discover, skipping Christmas brings enormous consequences - and isn't half as easy as they'd imagined.

Skip Skipping Christmas.
I read this based on a recommendation on social media and somehow missed checking the existing reviews. Also because I hadn't read John Grisham before I expected something even mildly challenging. I was completely wrong.
Skipping Christmas doesn't have a single decent character in it. They're all first class privilege selfish individuals with zero character progression.
The writing is also extremely basic, written exactly as if I were watching a screen - which I'm not doing - and trite to boot.
Aweful. I won't be reaching for a Grisham book in a hurry!
