Monica Adams Skips Christmas, by Krista Harper
New Adult Romance, Sapphic

When Monica Adams arrives home in Chicago for Christmas break she has no intention of returning to university for her engineering degree. To make matters worse her boyfriend from high school dumps her on the phone. So Monica has plans to skip Christmas this year.

And yet... there‘s Paige. Maybe things could work out for the best, and Christmas isn't so bad after all?

🎅 Gifts are being sent for #LittleChristmasSwap #LCS #ElfSwap #JolabokaflodSwap TODAY! Not sure if I am supposed to tag the receiver or not, but was finally able to get these to the post office!

🎄 I have received (and placed under my tree) gifts from #LCS and #JolabolaflodSwap ... so I am still missing an #ElfSwap gift!

In the future I think I should really limit myself to one lol — but I had fun and I hope people enjoy.

bibliobard If I was supposed to tag the people I mailed please let me know 4y
bookish_wookish Yay! 🎄🎁 4y
