Joanna Bolouri
Christmas, Fiction, Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)
A laugh-out-loud romantic comedy of fake dating, family politics and festive mayhem from the bestselling author of The List.
'HILARIOUS' ISABELLE BROOM
Emily has it all: a good job, awesome friends, a great boyfriend, and a wonderful flat exactly 411 miles away from her nightmarish family.
But when her boyfriend Robert dumps her mere days before Christmas, Emily's devastated. Knowing there's no way she can face her family alone, Emily enlists the help of her party-boy neighbour Evan. All he needs to do is pretend to be Robert.
The only trouble is Evan's not exactly boyfriend material. He likes flirting, loud music, and louder sex. Can Emily handle Evan and her family, or is she heading straight for disaster?
