Twelve Days to Save Christmas

Poppy has 12 days to make George realize they're perfect together.

Poppy and George are perfect together, or at least that's what Poppy thinks until the moment George breaks up with her right before their couples Christmas vacation. With 12 days until Christmas, Poppy is determined to show George that they belong together.

Poppy is a cringey character; she's based her whole life and personality around George and his assessment that she's needy is entirely correct. The reason lies in her family life as a child, but the reader still may be turned off by her devotion to George instead of herself. George isn't a winner either -- he's using their break to date other women but misses Poppy because she takes care of him.

Poppy tries to be busy without George by volunteering at a local community center and joining a choir. The friends she makes there are better for her than George, but Poppy doesn't see their value to her and is ready to ditch them all once George comes crawling back to her.

Recommended for readers of holiday tales that enjoy forced proximity stories.
