Ever since Bailey Sullivan was a little girl, Christmas has been a nightmare. Her parents own the landmark institution "The Perfect Christmas" in her hometown. However, her parents have decided to call it quits, at least temporarily, to marriage, and Bailey is stuck in her worst nightmare: the land of Christmas.

Bailey's season gets a bit scarier when her first boy friend and next door neighbor Finn shows up to help his grandmother. It seems Bailey's passion for Finn has never really gone away, and now she must deal with the hectic holiday and her growing love for Finn. The question is: will she run away from him again?

This is a funny, sweet and downright entertaining novel about the joys and disappointments the Christmas season can bring. The characters and situations seamlessly blend to create a wonderful story of love during the holidays. I can't wait for Ms. Ridgway's next book!
