Description
Get with the holiday spirit in this sparkling yuletide young adult romance where a highschooler returns to her small hometown only to find that everything has changed.
When Finley decides to go home to Christmas, Oklahoma, for the holidays, the last person she expects to see there is Arthur Chakrabarti Watercress, a fellow student at her New England prep school. Arthur is, Finley thinks, an uptight Brit who hardly knows she exists. So why have Arthur and his aunt Esha chosen to spend Christmas at Grandma Jo’s Hoyden Inn? If the greatly enhanced town website created by Finley to impress her snobbish classmates is to blame, how can she produce the Perfect American Christmas experience their guests expect? Especially since she’s reeling from some surprising revelations about her parents, her ex-boyfriend, and her former best friend.
Old secrets and new romances, hilarious near-disasters, and a Christmas miracle or two add to the fun as Finley discovers that Arthur is—well—kind of hot!
