Noelle Partridge dreams of dancing at Beacon: a ballet academy that promises new challenges and an escape from both the ballet academy she's outgrown and the father who is too busy working to take part in her Christmas Extravaganza. However, an early retreat with a babysitting client that takes place over the holidays ensures lots of chaos and confusion as she runs into the crush she's never actually met in real life and tests her love of Christmas and the plans she thought she had.

As always, I was extremely impressed with the level of detail in Tiffany Schmidt's writing. I could tell she put a lot of thought into the Christmas Easter eggs that were scattered throughout the story and I absolutely adored all of them. In addition, this book is written a little young and would be suitable for older middle school readers to younger YA and anyone looking for a sweet rom-com that doubles as a festive Christmas story.

While I found this book engrossing, I will say there was something about it that didn't feel right. I put a lot of thought into it as I read and after I finished reading and even now I'm not sure I can put my finger on it, just that something felt off. I'm wondering if my feelings have something to do with our main character as I found Noelle to be annoying at times and worried about things that didn't necessarily seem important. I also felt some situations were blown way out of proportion, and again, didn't feel that pressing to me compared to the character's reactions. That being said, I still really enjoyed reading I'm Dreaming of a Wyatt Christmas and look forward to recommending it to other readers!

**Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for granting me a free e-copy of this story in exchange for my honest review.

So obviously I had to read this story because I'm a teen Librarian, my boyfriend's name is Wyatt, and I love everything Christmas. This cute story did not disappoint and it put me in even more of a holiday spirit. What could be better than falling in love on Christmas? Nothing.

Even though I read I'm Dreaming of a Wyatt Christmas in March, I thoroughly enjoyed this Christmas-themed rom-com by Tiffany Schmidt. Noelle Partridge is a ballet dancer. In fact, she is the best one in her town. She dreams of attending Beacon, an elite ballet school where it just so happens the older brother of her favorite babysitting family goes.

When the Kahale family invites her to go with them to babysit on a skiing trip over Christmas, she decides to say yes, even though she will miss celebrating her favorite holiday with her friends and father. But, things haven't been great with her dad lately, so maybe this is for the best. Surprising everyone, Wyatt shows up on the first night with secrets of his own. Noelle and Wyatt need to find ways to navigate the issues in their own lives plus their growing attraction to each other.

This sweet story combines ballet, romance, family, and Christmas into an entertaining and fun-to-read package. I will definitely be purchasing it for my library.

Overall, a 4.75/5 star read! I absolutely loved this book! I laughed at parts, cried at parts, and really could relate to Noelle in places. This was such a cute YA Christmas romance! It did move a little slow in places for me but I loved it anyway! Absolutely would recommend!
