JUST LIKE MAGIC
A sprightly Christmas novel from the author of TWICE SHY and YOU DESERVE EACH OTHER that's a rollicking romp through the absurdity of family holidays and the hope of new love.
Bettie Hughes once knew the comfort of luxury, flaunting a ridiculous collection of designer shoes and a stealthy addiction to CBD oils. That is, until her parents snipped her purse strings. Long obsessed with her public image, Bettie boasts an extravagant lifestyle on social media. But the reality is: Bettie is broke and squatting in Colorado, and her family has no idea.
Christmas, with its pressure to meet familial expectations, is looming when a drunk Bettie plays a vinyl record of "All I Want for Christmas Is You" backwards and accidentally conjures Hall, an unexpectedly charming Holiday Spirit in the form of a man. Once the shock wears off, Bettie knows she's stumbled upon the greatest gift: a chance to make all her holiday wishes come true, plus a ready-made fiancé.
But as the wiles of magic lose their charm, Bettie finds herself set off-kilter by Hall's sweet gestures. Suddenly, Bettie is finding her heart merry and light. But the happier she gets, the shorter Hall's time on earth grows. Can Bettie channel the Christmas spirit and learn to live with goodwill toward all men? Or will her selfish ways come back as soon as the holidays are over?
JUST LIKE MAGIC is for fans of laugh-out-loud romantic comedies, Christmas love stories, and women's fiction, and for readers of In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren, The Twelve Dates of Christmas by Jenny Bayliss, One Day in December by Josie Silver, and Christmas Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella.
Sarah Hogle is a mom of three who enjoys trashy TV and provoking her husband for attention. Her dream is to live in a falling-apart castle in a forest that is probably cursed. She is the author of You Deserve Each Other and Twice Shy.
