This swoon-worthy love novel will inspire you to believe in the efficacy of wishes and the enchantment of the holidays thanks to its abundance of seasonal happiness, a memorable cast of characters, and antics in the style of Christina Lauren. Mae must figure out how to escape the bizarre time loop-and eventually get her real love under the mistletoe-because each comic mishap is returning her back to the airport. However, as Mae gasps awake… She is traveling by plane to Utah, where she will start the same vacation all over again. The next thing she notices, everything is pitch-black as metal shatters and tires squeal. Mae makes what she believes to be a straightforward request to the cosmos as she starts driving from the cabin for the last time: Please. The fact that Mae will spend her final Christmas in her favorite spot in the entire world-the snowy Utah cabin where she and her family have celebrated every holiday since she was born-is maybe the saddest of all. She recently committed a romantic blunder of epic proportions, lives with her parents, despises her pointless job, and all of these things.
