Book
Just like magic : a novel / Sarah Hogle.
"From the author of Twice Shy comes a sprightly Christmas novel, a rollicking romp through the absurdity of family holidays and the hope of new love"-- Provided by publisher.
Bettie Hughes knew the comfort of luxury until her parents snipped her purse strings. Long obsessed with her public image, she boasts an extravagant lifestyle on social media, but in reality is broke and squatting in Colorado. 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. Bettie knows she's got a chance to make all her holiday wishes come true, plus a ready-made fiancé. As the wiles of magic lose their charm, Bettie finds that the happier she gets, the shorter Hall's time on earth grows. -- adapted from back cover
