It was not the new experience she was anticipating. Young Adult contemporary stories are usually not my go-to, but perhaps it was getting caught up in the holiday reading spirit or the promise of trying a new to me debut author that had me enthusiastically reaching for So, This is Christmas.įinley Brown has just finished the first semester of her junior year of high school as a new scholar student at a prestigious preparatory school out east. I was looking for a Young Adult holiday charmer and I got it in a debut author’s engaging story. But, that was before she finds herself showing an English guy what a small town American Christmas is all about and learns a thing or two herself along the away. Perhaps she told a tiny lie back at her prestigious East Coast boarding school to the snobs before going home for what she anticipates will be the dreariest Christmas ever. It's about home and family and friends and finding her place, and along the way she also finds the best Christmas present of all: love. It's up to Finley to make sure he gets the Christmas he was promised. And she certainly didn't expect to find the boy she may or may not have tricked into believing that Christmas was an idyllic holiday paradise on her grandmother's doorstep. But instead she returns to find that her best friend is dating her ex-boyfriend, her parents have separated, and her archnemesis got a job working at her grandmother's inn.

Christmas hasn't changed much in her sixteen years. When Finley Brown returned to her hometown of Christmas, Oklahoma, from boarding school, she expected to find it just as she left it.
