発行者による作品情報
In this trio of Christmas novellas, three women take a modern approach to love and see if a holiday romance is just a click, tap, or swipe away.
Made up
Like a Christmas miracle, the Build a Boyfriend App lets yousimply input the stats of your dream man, and witty texts, passionate emails, and hot Instagram pics start flooding in. No more awkward questions or pitying looks as you face the holidays alone!
Mixed up
But even the best technology has its glitches. When real-life emotions come into play, this trio of twenty-somethings find themselves in a tangle of crossed signals, flying wrapping paper, disastrous Christmas parties . . . and surprising kisses.

Yet despite the confusion of their mistletoe misadventures, when the New Year dawns, these very satisfied women just may find themselves waking up with true love beside them.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this anthology of contemporary Christmas-oriented novellas, three women create fake boyfriends via the Build-a-Boyfriend App, with results ranging from charming to discomfiting. In Johnson's charismatic "A Boyfriend by Christmas," a chance meeting on Thanksgiving and a text sent to the wrong contact lead to alluring romantic possibilities. Angell's pleasant "All I Want for Christmas Is..." features a woman vying to be a CEO's personal shopper. She invents a boyfriend to stay competitive, but her tantalizing potential boss challenges her resolve. Finally, in Charles's frustrating "Her Favorite Present," Gabe, the cocreator of Build-a-Boyfriend, believes anyone using the app is "a pathetic waste of space" until he makes a bet involving covertly getting to know one of their clients. The stories, especially "All I Want," feel rushed sometimes, but the brevity keeps characters from having to dwell in awkward situations. "A Boyfriend by Christmas" is invitingly sweet; by contrast, "Her Favorite Present" is brought down by Gabe's deceit and snide disdain. Still, this collection will appeal to romance fans who enjoy stories of mix-ups and confident or even arrogant men.
