The Seven Year Slip meets Hallmark with a dash of sass and a sprinkle of sexiness in this sparkling Christmas rom com…with a speculative twist!
Some people are Christmas people, but Jill Jacobs is most certainly not. She hasn’t been ever since her hometown love broke her heart on Christmas Eve three years ago. After that, Jill moved to L.A. to pursue her dream of becoming a screenwriter. She hasn’t been home in years to avoid her ex, but this winter she finds herself back in drab, suburban Illinois for the holidays.
After one very hazy night, Jill wakes up to a hometown that’s filled with jolly neighbors, covered in pristine white snow, and seasoned with the smell of peppermint. She realizes that this is more than just a bad hangover… she’s stuck in a Heartfelt movie. One set in her town, starring real people from her life, including her family, her high school crush (uber perfect, owns a bakery, and definitely a Christmas Person), and of course, her ex —handsome as ever and now exclusively clad in plaid flannel.
The only way out of this bizarro world is to complete the plot of the movie, including a holiday bake off and a cookie-sweet love story. To get home in time for Christmas, Jill must act out a picture-perfect holiday romance with the one that got away, all while her ex watches on. Fa la la la freaking la….

🎄Review🎄
When Grant, her ex-boyfriend, ended their relationship Jill couldn’t get out of their hometown fast enough and headed to LA. That adventure didn’t turn out the way she expected as years later not only is she still single but her career as a screenwriter is now in jeopardy. Her return is filled with challenges when an altercation with her ex has her waking up in an alternate life.
Jill isn’t sure what she did to end up in a world where Christmas rules and she is better suited to be Scrooge. She isn’t sure how to escape this situation, but it begins with a contest where she will be competing with Chad, her teenage crush, against her ex. Let the fun and self-discovery begin!
This is a heartwarming story centered around the holidays that allows Jill to reflect on her life choices and what will truly make her happy which incorporates love, family and the magic of the season.
