Brit Wakefield is tired of everyone telling her to take a step back from her relationship. Erik Draxton is the perfect boyfriend, and there’s no harm in loving someone fiercely. In fact, she’s so blissfully happy, she almost doesn’t mind heading home to her dysfunctional family for the holidays. When an expired passport prevents Brit from boarding a plane to Paris, Erik is determined to give Brit an old-fashioned family Christmas. Finding herself immersed in traditions, Brit starts to really understand what it’s like to be considered part of a big family. But when Erik’s ex-girlfriend shows up on Christmas Eve, determined to talk about their past, everything Brit believes in begins to spiral out of control. With their relationship thrown off balance, and unable to know if things will ever be the same again, the seemingly “perfect” couple must reevaluate if they truly belong together. Stuck in the whirlwind of the holidays, Brit’s only sure about one thing: First love can be brutal. [Note: Although this book can be read as a standalone, it follows the story of the characters in Death by Social Suicide, which is also available on Readict. If you, lovely reader, detest spoilers and wish to know how Brit and Erik first met, as well as the backstories of the other characters mentioned, it is strongly recommended that you read Death by Social Suicide first.]
