The Mistletoe Mystery by Nita Prose
This novella is part of the Molly the Maid series, but the first book I've read in the series. As indicated by the title, the story takes place in December, and Molly has always loved the holidays. Molly has insecurities that come to light here. She doesn't feel attractive enough for her boyfriend Juan Manuel, a kitchen worker who is employed at the same hotel as her. She's also had bad experiences in the past with secret Santa exchanges, particularly with one other staff member who reports to her.
Molly is also celebrating her first Christmas with Juan and when he seems secretive, she immediately worries about their relationship.
This is a novel that makes reference to a beloved holiday story, The Gift of the Magi by O.Henry, and that brings in feelings around trust and friendship. A short, feel-good holiday tale.
