Chelsea Bobulski: All I Want for Christmas Series cover reveal

Oct 15, 2021

Chelsea Bobulski has written the kind of YA holiday series that many are sure to fall in love with. Think young-adult meets Hallmark, and you’ve got the idea. In the first book of the series, All I Want for Christmas is the Girl Next Door, we meet Graham, who has been in love with the girl next door for a decade. Desperate to be with Sarah, he makes a wish, and wakes up in a world where he and Sarah are together. But not everything is as he had imagined. In All I Want for Christmas is the Girl In Charge, all Beckett Hawthorne wants is to make his way across the country and try to find some semblance of a life that looks nothing like his past…until he meets Evelyn Waverly. In the third title in the series, All I Want for Christmas is the Boy I Can’t Have, a girl obsessed with True Love tries to find her own happily ever after with a boy drowning in his own expectations and ambitions. And in the fourth and final title in the series, All I Want for Christmas is the Girl Who Can’t Love, Jordan Merrick tries to convince college freshman Savannah Mason that love is more than a biological impulse to breed that can be easily ignored. All I Want for Christmas is the Girl Next Door debuts on October 28, with the remaining four titles all releasing before Christmas, but before that, we’re revealing the series covers here for the first time:

“I am so in awe of these covers,” Bobulski says. “I knew I wanted to have an illustrated feel to them, and the team at Wise Wolf took that and ran with it in the most brilliant and beautiful way possible. I love how each cover represents something specific about the story. For The Girl Next Door, it’s the shooting stars that really do it for me (as it’s a wish on a shooting star that sets the whole story into motion). For The Girl in Charge, it’s the stage lights above, reflecting the Christmas play that the hero and heroine are acting in. For The Boy I Can’t Have, I really can’t explain this scene without giving something away, but it’s a MAJOR part of the story between the two main characters, and for The Girl Who Can’t Love, it’s the college scene at the bottom and the lantern up above, representing the two-hundred-and-fifty-year-old mystery that she and the hero are trying to solve. I could not be happier with the covers.” 

The author, a graduate of The Ohio State University with a degree in history, spent most of her class time writing stories. She is the author of The Wood (2017) and Remember Me (2019). She grew up in Columbus, Ohio, but now resides in northwest Ohio with her husband, two children, and one very emotive German Shepherd/Lab mix.
