Twelve very public fake dates,
Hanukkah and Christmas preparations –
what’s an act? What’s real?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After best friend and first crush Arden abruptly left their small Pennsylvania town 4 years ago for LA, Caroline has just concentrated on her writing portfolio for Columbia – journalism school, here she comes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After teen flicks and rom-coms, Arden can have the movie role of a lifetime, if she reforms her Hollywood party girl reputation – fast!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prodded by her stand-in parental figure\/agent, Arden treks back to her Christmas-obsessed hometown and devoted grandma for the holidays, to her “secret girlfriend” Caroline (as her agent tells the producer), to a chance at redemption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caroline gets to write exclusive articles about their time together for Cosmopolitan<\/em> ? Wow!
Convincing everyone, including the movie producer, that their relationship is real? Whoa\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cutting down a Christmas tree together, voting in the town’s Best Cocoa contest, karaoke night, helping out at Gran’s diner – good times together before Arden heads back west on Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can they make a new town tradition for Jewish families?
Is this Arden’s last trip home?
Mistletoe magic or heartbreak again? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Told in alternating chapters by real-life partners who’ve written YA novels together and individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would you like to live in a Christmas-is-everything town?
