A Christmas compromise with a romantic complication

Set in Garland, Maine, where the whole town embraces Christmas, Kelsie Stelting’s young adult novel centers on a teen caught between divorced parents competing to make the holiday special. Hoping to step away from the packed schedule, she agrees to introduce a newcomer to the town’s seasonal traditions. The arrangement brings unexpected enjoyment—and the possibility of mutual interest—before a hidden motive complicates what she thought was happening. Christmas festivities, family conflict, and uncertainty about a budding romance shape the story’s central tensions.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in holiday-centered fiction.
  • Readers who enjoy stories about family dynamics after divorce.
  • Those looking for a young adult romance set amid Christmas traditions.

Book overview

Everyone knows that if you want to have an incredible Christmas season, you go to Garland, Maine, where the entire town joins in on celebrating Christmas.

 

Well, everyone except me.

 

Every year since my parents' divorce, they've fought to make Christmas at their place the best. Shuffling back and forth between the two and running ragged with all the activities has ruined the holidays every year.

 

So this year, I finally tell them both I'm done celebrating Christmas. And they agree on one condition: I have to show the new guy in town the best Garland has to offer this year.

 

I thought it would be a tedious set of tasks to show him around, but for the first time I'm having fun during the holidays. Even better? I think he likes me too.

 

That is until I learn our arrangement wasn't just a way for me to get out of the Christmas Olympics with my parents. There was something in it for him too.

 

And at the end of it all, I have to wonder... Was any of it real for him, or would I have been better off celebrating with my parents after all?
