Faking Christmas by Cindy Steel

5.0

Miles and Olive are English teachers at the same high school. Olive sees Miles as her enemy, and Miles has liked her since day one. Olive's family decides to spend Christmas at a lodge in Vermont. Olive is thrown for a loop when Miles shows up because his family owns the lodge. Will a fun game of Bingo help Olive to change her mind about Miles?

This book ticked all the boxes for me. It had me laughing and crying. Cindy does a great job of adding real-life hardships into a light rom-com. The balance she creates in this book is perfect. I love this book so much, and I'll be rereading it for years to come.
