Synopsis

A few years after they broke up professionally and personally, the ex-screenwriting team of Kerri Williams and Jon D’Angelo find their lives turned upside down when an old script of theirs is green-lit and they’re suddenly forced to write together again. Now, for the month of December, Kerri must leave behind her fiancé and her new life as a teacher in Brooklyn to return to her old glamorous life in sunny Hollywood with the man she used to love. Jon and Kerri will do anything to finish the film and wrap up the set—they'll even work through Christmas—if it means they never have to face this awkward reunion ever again. To make matters worse, the star of the movie, Amari Rivers, thinks they’re still a couple (thanks to Kerri's real engagement ring) and wants to keep them on the set for support and love advice. To keep Amari happy, Kerri and Jon enter into a fake engagement, but pretending to love each other brings back all the old feelings they've been trying so hard to forget since they came back to LA. Will this be the Christmas they finally get their own happy ending?

Goodreads review by Solei on December 09, 2023

Ugh I really was not a fan of this book at all. I have read like 207 books this year and this is only my fourth 1-2.5 star book, so if that doesn’t say something I don’t know what does.

Goodreads review by Etta on December 10, 2023

The plot was 4 stars for me, but I dropped my original rating to 2 due to the writing. Simple, repetitive sentences and random jumps inside the heads of minor side characters often pulled me out of the story. I was shocked to find out after the fact that the two authors wrote some of my favorite Dis......more
