A fake dating rom com. An easy quick read, no substance but perfect for a quick fluffy, leave your brain in a box read and perfect timing for me. Misunderstandings abound, but the basic premis is they break up neither of them wanting it but not wanting to lose face, but agree to a joint family Christmas making a pact that they get through the festivities and break up in the new year.  Faking it until they make it. A good old-fashioned chick lit read.
