Review: Christmas Off Script - Evie Alexander









Review: Christmas Off Script - Book #5 Foxbrooke Academy Series - Evie Alexander - November 2024


If you’re looking for Christmas cheer, a dose of chaotic family fun, and a swoon-worthy best friends-to-lovers romance, Evie Alexander delivers it all in this unmissable holiday romcom!”*

Set against the backdrop of the charming and whimsical Foxbrooke Manor, *Christmas off Script* introduces us to Ella Chamberlain and Leo Foxbrooke—a duo whose friendship has stood the test of time, but whose hearts might just be ready for more.

Ella’s life takes a spectacular nose-dive right before the holidays. Dumped, homeless, and in desperate need of a reset, she finds herself whisked into the safety of Leo’s world. Living at Foxbrooke Manor might seem like the perfect escape, but between her crush on her best friend and the unexpected role of Cinderella in the town’s annual Christmas pantomime, Ella’s life is anything but simple.

Leo Foxbrooke is the dream package: kind, supportive, and devastatingly attractive. But he’s also Ella’s no-go zone. Or at least, that’s what she’s told herself for years. When sparks fly on and off the stage—particularly during those “practice kisses”—the line between friendship and love blurs in the most delightful way.

The pantomime is laugh-out-loud funny, with Leo’s father stealing every scene he’s in with his outrageous antics. Fans of the series will enjoy catching up with the wider Foxbrooke family—Henry, Libby, Estelle, and Summer—while newcomers will find themselves right at home.

Ella’s real-life parallels with Cinderella—complete with a vile stepmother and her atrocious daughters—add an extra layer of depth and relatability. Watching her transform from a self-doubting heroine to someone ready to seize her own happiness is as satisfying as it is emotional.

This book is everything a holiday romance should be: full of festive charm, sparkling banter, and a slow-burn romance that ignites into fireworks. Alexander masterfully combines humor, heartache, and holiday magic, creating a story that’s perfect for curling up with by the fire.

Whether you’re new to the Foxbrooke Academy series or a die-hard fan, *Christmas off Script* is a delight from start to finish. Be prepared to laugh, swoon, and cheer for Ella and Leo as they stumble their way into their happily-ever-after.
