A teen reclaims her independence and opens her heart to Christmas with the help of a handsome ski instructor in this swoon-worthy young adult holiday romance told in a groundbreaking advent calendar format, with chapter-a-day reading making it a true slow-burn!
When eighteen-year-old April heads to the foothills of Mont Blanc in the Alps to spend her first Christmas at her father’ s chalet, she’ s hoping for a change. Ever since her heart operation two years ago, she’ s lived as carefully as possible. Supervised exercise, green tea, rice cakes, focusing only on her studies. But now, she’ s healthy and there’ s a world out there that she’ s missing.
When April’ s ski instructor turns out to be her best friend’ s older brother, Augustin, it feels like a sign. As Augustin encourages April to build up her strength, April feels drawn to him in ways she wasn’ t expecting. Augustin is daring and gorgeous, and April doesn’ t want to let her life pass her by any longer. But is her just-healed heart ready for a Christmas miracle?
With this book’ s unique advent calendar format, each of the twenty-four chapters is sealed by its own perforated enclosure that readers can gently tear open— by hand or with the help of a ruler— to read a chapter a day in the weeks leading to Christmas!
