Make You Mine This Christmas: 'The queer Christmas rom-com I've been waiting for' LAURA KAY

Product Information

Laugh out loud funny, clever dialogue, and a magnificent performance by Helen Keeley- who is now one of my favorite narrators. It serves up that cozy and wholesome romantic feeling, that makes you want to download tinder again and pretend like it’s a ‘good idea’.

After breaking up with her ex (who’s moved on immediately), starting a job shes drowning in and her parents deciding to go away for Christmas, she’s feeling stuck and alone. Other than that - which is awesome obviously - it was full of the usual lovely tropes of this type of story and was enjoyably predictable. Some parts really resonated with me, like when Haf has Christopher tie her shoes (there’s a whole reason for it) and it turns out to be “one of those moments where she realises that things that are hard for her are a lot easier for other people”. And as a disabled, walking stick-using lesbian, I am absolutely in love with Kit and am so happy to get to read a book with her in it.Haf and her new friend Christopher end up fake dating and spending christmas at his parents house in Oxlea. Especially because Haf has been pretending to scrub at a stain that isn't there, like a horny Lady Macbeth wanting to prolong the moment.

Joyous, funny and full of warm, relatable characters, this is the queer Christmas rom-com I've been waiting for' LAURA KAY It's the golden rule of pretending to be someone's girlfriend: don't fall for their sister.We celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land. There's a lot of comedy here that could come off as cringe, but because all of the leads are so genuinely nice and earnest, actually just comes off as charming and quirky. I know I read this in the middle of spooky season, but this cosy sapphic Christmas romance is warm and funny and truly the perfect queer holiday read.

After a year from hell, Haf is ready to blow off steam at a Christmas party: a kind stranger, a few too many drinks and suddenly she's kissing Christopher under the mistletoe, in front of his ex-girlfriend. Together, they head into the holidays with secrets, insecurities, and a fake dating plan that is bound to go badly. I want to show readers different kinds of lives and bodies and people and experiences – acting as mirrors for some, windows for others – while also entertaining people (I hope! And that consciousness around food really does wind its way into so much of your life, especially when you have people around you making comments about their own weight and discomfort around it, especially when they are usually smaller than you, and double especially at holidays based around food.

Okay, now I’m coming round to it… If not, how far would you go to help make a friend’s ex feel jealous? Perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan, Laura Kay and Carol - this is sheer festive joy as you've always wanted to see it.

There’s the Christmas Eve-Eve village fete, the annual local ball, and the big day itself… Haf - the most adorable chaos monkey I’ve read in a while - tries her absolute best to play her role, but what can she do when shenanigans are attracted to her like a magnet? Die Lovestory war an sich total schön, hätte aber vom Gefühl her gerne noch einen Ticken mehr Tiefe haben können. Ambrose, the no-nonsense (but secretly lives for the nonsense) non-binary best friend and roommate would absolutely think I was a disaster, but hopefully a loveable one at least. Teilweise wurden ein paar zu viele popkulturelle Referenzen eingestreut - das war mir ein klein wenig zu millenialhaft.She's been in such a fog that the week before Christmas she finds out her parents have booked a vacation for themselves and now has no plans for Christmas.
