| | | Xpress Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA  The Art of Running in Heels, by Rachel Gibson, is this week's starred fiction title. "The chemistry between Lexie and Sean is enough to melt any ice rink, and their push-pull on-again, off-again fake relationship sizzles on the page. Highly recommended for lovers of rom-coms and sports romances and anyone who has a love/hate relationship with reality TV." In nonfiction, Leslie A. Hahner's To Become an American: Immigrants and Americanization Campaigns of the Early Twentieth Century is a "fascinating and complex book [that] will be appreciated by scholars in communication, American Studies, and history." Lynn Johnston's For Better or for Worse: The Complete Library, Vol. 1, 1979–1982 is one of three starred graphic novels this week. "Fans of the highest virtuosity in cartooning will relish this deluxe introduction to the Patterson’s heartfelt and delightful story." And in e-originals, Jessica Gilmore's Their Christmas Carol, Kathleen O'Brien's His Christmas Princess, and Lara Van Hulzen's His Christmas Bride, "will get readers into the holiday spirit."
