Set at Christmastime in the Big Apple, and Dash has fooled each of his divorced parents into thinking he's with the other one so he can spend Christmas in surly Grinch-like solitude. Lily is about as far from a Grinch as you can get, a starry-eyed idealist who just loves Christmas. But this is not a book about opposites attracting, it's more the story of assumptions and yearnings, wrapped up in a tale that's dedicated to being anti-cliché when it comes to romance.
