Synopsis

It's the holiday season in this young-adult contemporary romance, and all Beckett Hawthorne wants is to make his way across the country and try to find some semblance of a life that looks nothing like his past...until he meets Evelyn Waverly.Evelyn Waverley, Christmas High's Senior Class President, volunteer at every Christmas charity drive, and basic overachiever, has a problem - she's co-directing and starring in her dream role as Elizabeth Bennet in her high school's production of A Pride and Prejudice Christmas, but Greg Bailey, the boy who was supposed to play Darcy broke his leg.Enter Beckett Hawthorne, Aunt Bee's nephew, former child prodigy, and recent juvenile delinquent. Beckett has arrived in Christmas, Virginia to spend his community service hours working at his uncle's Christmas tree farm, as well as to get away from his heroin-addicted mother and abusive stepfather.Of course, Beckett doesn't have any interest in the role of Darcy either, but when he (mistakenly) mentions the play to his social worker, she presses him to do it. He agrees to play Darcy, not expecting Evelyn's joyful attitude about life and all things Christmas to melt the permafrost that has formed around his heart. Soon he finds himself imagining a very different kind of future, one that is filled with the sorts of things he always thought were too good for him-hope, love, family-and he has Evelyn to thank for it.

Goodreads review by Alissa on December 10, 2023

Well this book completely destroyed me. I’ve always had a soft spot for the misunderstood “bad boy”, but not the kind that is toxic and rude for no reason. Becket is a diamond in the rough, and Evelyn is a peach. The parallels alone were spot on in this story, too! With Pride and Prejudice being an......more

Goodreads review by AnnaScott on October 28, 2021

Picture a Hallmark movie, but with teens. That's what reading this book felt like. It had everything from a town-wide fundraiser to a Christmas tree farm, and I loved the small-town, nostalgic vibes that this book gave. It had such a sweet redemption narrative, and it was fun to see the nods to Prid......more

Goodreads review by Susannah on December 09, 2024

So, I started this book pretty immediately after the first one. I really liked it at first and I even liked it more than the first one. I felt this one had more depth and the characters contained angst. It was more than just a fluffy, filler YA romance. However, the last few chapters took a turn. Wh......more
