"Christmas has, indeed, arrived early with this romp."—Booklist

July is a great time to celebrate Christmas! In the wild world of making a TV Christmas movie, a hot and sunny upstate New York summer becomes a winter wonderland, overnight. But as cool as the fake snow is, when the real life hero gets tangled up with the movie star, the screenwriter grapples for control of the story, and the fans become a hazard to life and limb, it'll take a Christmas miracle to pull everyone together. 

Up-and-coming LA screenwriter Ivy Green is about to have her life turned upside down. Her movie, based on her and her high school sweetheart's horrible Christmas breakup, is being filmed in her hometown.

Nick Shepherd is less than thrilled to see Ivy after all this time. To complicate matters, Ivy has a budding relationship with the producer, the town is overflowing with movie stars and overly-adoring fans, and worst of all—the actress playing Ivy develops a crush on the real Nick! In the end, Ivy will need to re-write her life script to finally get everything she ever wanted.

      Five years ago, Ivy Green thought she had found her soul mate in Nick Shepherd. Then Nick, whose family owns a winery in upstate New York, informs Ivy that he isn't moving to Los Angeles with her while she pursues a career in screenwriting. Fortunately, Ivy was able to use her feelings for Nick, who broke up with her at Christmas time, as fodder for a Christmas movie screenplay, one that gives movie Nick a less-than-happy ending. While Ivy is thrilled when up-and-coming producer Drew Fox buys her screenplay, she is less delighted to discover that the movie will be filmed in the summer in her hometown of Geneva, where Nick still lives. The Giglios, a husband-and-wife writing duo, effectively channel their experiences in film production and screenwriting to infuse their first novel with a deliciously fun sense of verisimilitude. Fans of small-town romances, second-chance romances, and Christmas love stories, along with anyone who finds the snarky banter in movie rom-coms to be the best part of the picture, will feel like Christmas has, indeed, arrived early with this romp.
