'Joyous, funny and full of warm, relatable characters, this is the queer Christmas rom-com I've been waiting for' LAURA KAY It's the golden rule of pretending to be someone's girlfriend: don't fall for their sister. After a year from hell, Haf is ready to blow off steam at a Christmas party: a kind stranger, a few too many drinks and suddenly she's kissing Christopher under the mistletoe - in front of his ex-girlfriend. The next day the news is out that they're apparently a couple, madly in love and coming to Oxlea to spend the festive season with Christopher's family. But Haf doesn't have better holiday plans and to save her new friend from embarrassment, she agrees to pretend to be Christopher's girlfriend for Christmas. It has the makings of a hilarious anecdote they'll be telling for years. Until Haf meets Christopher's sister: the mysterious, magnetic and utterly irresistible Kit. Maybe love was waiting for Haf in this quiet little town all along . . .Perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan, Laura Kay and Carol - this is sheer festive joy as you've always wanted to see it.'The perfect cosy Christmas read - sexy, sweet and smart' KIRAN MILWOOD HARGRAVE'A thoroughly modern love story filled with joy, inappropriate Christmas jumpers and a daring reindeer rescue. I adored it' TANYA BYRNE'An adorable Christmas novel filled with terrible schemes, a grand ball and one very terrible goose' KAT DUNN'Make You Mine This Christmas is easily one of the best rom-coms I've ever read. Funny, sweet and emotionally satisfying. Filled with characters you'll fall in love with and dreamy Christmas moments - it's a festive delight!' CHLOE TIMMS Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

All the unlikely-yet-predictable shenanigans of a Christmas rom-com with lovable characters - not just the leads - and a steady flow of awkward/funny/snarky/yearning dialogue.
Haf (it's Welsh) is in her late twenties. She runs social media for an animal welfare group and is still wounded after a painful breakup. She is "plus size" and identifies as bisexual. Author Lizzie Huxley-Jones tells us Haf is autistic and dyspraxic (both undiagnosed and never mentioned in the novel, though observable in Haf's actions).
Haf and her flatmate, Ambrose (pronoun: "they", influencer), crash a Christmas party where she meets Christopher. They immediately 'click', though not romantically/sexually. When a rom-com misunderstanding™ leads Christopher's ex to believe they are a couple, Haf agrees to accompany Christopher home for Christmas with his family in the traditional rom-com role of fake girlfriend™.
Shenanigans ensue. Everyone is a joy to spend time with - well, everyone but Christopher's ex's rebound guy, who is an irredeemably terrible human being.
And we know, because it is written on the book cover, that Haf will fall for Christopher's sister. Because of-course.
This book kept me grinning and chuckling through a mostly sucky time of year, and I've told my wife she has to read it immediately.
This is Lizzie Huxley-Jones' first published romance. I can't wait to read whatever she comes up with next.
Very highly recommended! (
