Synopsis:
Which man from her past will make the perfect Christmas present?
Fall in love again and again in this irresistible holiday time loop rom com perfect for fans of In a Holidaze and The Holiday Swap.
All Marygrace Silva wants for Christmas is a date to impress her big, boisterous family. Instead, a disastrous setup and an awkward run-in with her ex-best friend Robbie leave her wishing for a holiday miracle instead.
Then a slip on the ice lands her in a time loop—reliving Christmas Eve with a different ex each time. There’s Flynn the finance bro, Dale the rising music star, Jamie the fitness influencer.
Glamorous? Sure. Perfect? Not so much.
Between caroling and cookie baking, Marygrace is checking exes off her list—but somehow, Robbie keeps showing up too. Maybe the love she’s been searching for has been there all along…
With a sprinkling of sugar and just the right amount of spice, this romance about family, friendship, finding your voice, and the promise of “what-if” is a holiday treat you won’t want to miss.
