Bring on the holiday cheer in this delightful collection of three feel-good novellas from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Night We Met—with bonus recipes and full-page illustrations, perfect for gifting!

Tis the season to fall in love!

Anna thought only the food would be a disaster at her Christmas dinner—until her high school ex shows up and they quickly have to hatch a fake-dating scheme to save face with their families. For Matty, the idea of sitting in a diner all day dressed as a zombie Santa after losing a bet has zero appeal. But his cute and funny server might just make him change his mind. And finally, will Lauren be able to convince her best friend that getting married after a three-day relationship is absolutely ridiculous? Or will the town called Little Christmas pull her in with its happily-ever-after magic once she meets the best man?

Within these stories, you'll find:

• The worst Christmas dinner imaginable

• A granny determined to dismantle the patriarchy

• Matching Christmas sweaters (by accident!)

• A Mission Impossible-style cat rescue (with a saxophone)

• Mouthwatering recipes from Abby for dishes like Disco Pancakes

• Full-page illustrations throughout

Because this year, you deserve the perfect holiday gift.
