INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER
A charming holiday rom com about a young, recently heartbroken woman who is tasked by her sister to complete Advent calendar challenges in the lead up to Christmas to reignite her belief in herself, the holidays, and love again.
She’s given up on love and Christmas…but fate has other plans.
All Callie wants for Christmas is to hibernate. She’s just been dumped by her childhood sweetheart, and under no circumstances will she go home for the holidays considering her ex will be right next door with his new, perfect partner. Callie is officially in grinch mode, but her meddling sister, Anita, won’t let her give up on life, love, and Christmas quite so easily.
Anita stages a Christmas intervention for Callie with a homemade Advent calendar challenge—cheerful tasks to push Callie out of her comfort zone and into the holiday spirit, inspired by a childhood tradition. Callie reluctantly plays along, but when she comes face-to-face with a charming baker who just might be the spoonful of sugar she needs, her strict rules on love and the holidays are tested. As they strike a deal to do the activities together, could the twenty four little doors on Callie’s Advent calendar not only open up one, but two closed-off hearts?
A fun Christmasy romcom
"I loved the unique advent calendar idea for making the calendar into a live experience that delivered opportunities for Calle to spend time with the handsome baker, Marco whom she recently met. The plot, overall, was smartly written in bringing the main character and her love interest together for the fun challenges. And there also was a small mystery part that when Cassie uncovered it actually made me gasp as I didn’t see it coming. Narrator Amy Hall did a phenomenal job with her voice inflections and character distinctions, which further elevated the story for me."
