A teen girl gets the perfect second try at a first kiss in this hilarious, romp-filled young adult romantic comedy perfect for fans of Jenna Evans Welch and Hallmark Christmas movies. Francie was born in a stable. Really. Granted, it was the deluxe model with the light-up star on the roof, one of the many Christmas items for sale at her family' s Hollydale Holiday Shop. Their holiday gift empire also includes the Santa School, which was founded by Francie' s beloved grandpa, who recently passed away. Francie' s always loved working in the shop, but lately Aunt Carole has been changing everything with her ideas for too-slick, Hollywood-inspired Santas and horrible holiday-themed employee uniforms. Aunt Carole' s vision will ruin all the charm and nostalgia Francie loves about her family' s business. . . unless she does something about it. But this winter is about more than preserving the magic of Christmas. Francie is saving up for a car and angling to kiss the cute boy who works at the tree lot next door-hopefully it will be good enough to wipe her fiasco of a first kiss from her memory. As the weather outside gets more and more frightful, can Francie pull off the holiday of her dreams?
"Even with the inclusion of family and bullying issues, this is a light, fun read. . . . The perfect choice for rom-com fans who love the enchantment of the Christmas season. " -- School Library Journal "The romantic plotline is strong but does not overshadow the treatment of friendship, grief, money worries, and more. Readers will relate to Francie' s feelings. . . Will delight readers looking for a romance with humor and heart. " * Kirkus Reviews *
