A cozy, swoony holiday romance with a Sliding Doors twist, perfect for readers of Jenny Han and Lynn Painter. Like Mint to Be for this holiday season!

One season, two choices for love . . .

Cassie's small town is at its best in the holiday season. Think twinkling lights, cheery shops, skating under the stars, and curling up by a fire with a steaming mug of hot chocolate. It would be just about perfect . . . if Cassie didn't feel so left behind.

All of her friends are off at college, and she's counting the days till they—and her on again/off again boyfriend Tom—finally come home for Christmas break. Cassie's been hoping for a romantic reunion under the mistletoe, so she's crushed when she discovers Tom has met someone else at school.

Then Cassie's dad offers to buy her some last-minute tickets to visit him in Australia, and the rest of the book unfolds in alternating chapters where Cassie makes one choice or another about her holiday plans.

In one strand, she stays home to try to win Tom back—and get to know her cute new friend Jack a little better, too. In the other strand, Cassie spends Christmas in Australia, learning to surf and enjoying barbecues on the beach. If only Lucas, the son of her dad's friends, would stop acting so superior, maybe she'd even have a chance at holiday romance . . .

Each potential choice leads Cassie to love, and the final chapter is classic happily ever after.
