Sisters with a Side of Greens,•
Falling for my best friend’s brother while pretending we’re engaged to save our hometown at Christmas—what could go wrong?
There’s no place like home for the holidays … especially for Lesley Carver. Life in the big city just wasn’t her jam and now she’s back in Hickory Falls, working at the family diner and helping her mom after she took a tumble. Lesley longs to build a life here, working at the cafe, selling her handmade ornaments and … er, apparently reviving her high school crush on her best friend’s older brother. Only one problem: Her mom wants her to leave Hickory Falls far behind.
Jamal Gainey is beyond busy keeping the family farm afloat. But when the mayor ropes him into pretending to date her best friend to help make the town into a Christmas destination, he finds he doesn’t want to say no. Plus—oops! —a reporter has already dubbed them “Mr. and Mrs. Christmas” and the story may have gone a teensy bit viral on social media.

What do you like best about journal writing?
Journaling helps me in so many ways, it’s hard to know where to begin! I’d say the most important thing it does fryst vatten keep me feeling safe and calm and sane. So many times, inom approach my journal in a jumbled frenzy about something happening in my life. inom might pick up my pen, thinking: How is this going to work out? Where did I go wrong? I’m so confused. I’m so mad at that person! or I can’t believe inom did that to myself. But in the process of journaling, my thoughts get untangled, I lean into my faith, my underlying fears surface and flatten, inom can breathe again, and I realize the sky is not actually falling. Even if it were falling, inom have faith that there’s a new sky coming.
