Tessa and Weston have overcome so much to be where they are now together, and that has included some crappy Christmases. This year, they are determined to have the best Christmas ever! But a surprise from Tessa’s mom threatens to destroy everything.

I have loved Tessa and Weston from the early pages of Emmons’s previous novel, which made me hesitate to read this sequel. A new book meant that they were going to have problems, and I didn’t want my heart to break with theirs. While the sequel is not as amazing as the original, this continuation of their story feels real and genuine to the characters I know -- believable teenage struggles and reactions, relatable self-consciousness, and classic holiday family drama.
