She Gets the Girl at Christmas

by Rachael Lippincott

First published 2025

Alex and Molly have spent three years building their relationship through shared kisses, study dates, and couple selfies. Now seniors, they escape to a picturesque Christmas town for a romantic winter break getaway. They bring along their friend Cora, hoping to help her win over her crush May through ice skating, snowball fights, and careful matchmaking. But Alex and Molly each carry heavy secrets about their post-college plans. Neither wants to reveal what they're thinking, even as the weight of these hidden truths grows between them. The weekend becomes a delicate balance of playing cupid for their friend while avoiding the conversations that could change everything. As Christmas magic fills the air around them, Alex and Molly must decide whether they can trust each other with the truth about their futures, or if this holiday will mark the end of their love story.
