Publisher's Synopsis
Holly Plover, a posh perfume executive in NYC is eager to enjoy a meticulously planned Christmas. Her swanky apartment practically glimmers with elegantly festive perfection, and she has a hunch that her swoony podiatrist boyfriend is planning a picture-perfect marriage proposal. And with her new line of Christmas fragrances about to be launched for the holidays, things could not possibly be more superb.
But Holly's fastidious Christmas plans come to a screeching halt when her estranged sister Ivy unexpectedly shows up for the holidays with her pet rat, shady past, blatant lack of filters and a duffel full of vulgar eccentricities. How can Holly possibly entertain this unrefined vagrant during what may be the most important Christmas of her life? With trouble following her wherever she goes, Ivy throws a monkey wrench into Holly's carefully planned holiday from the moment she arrives. From stealing a neighbor's Christmas tree to shamelessly flirting with Holly's boyfriend, Ivy clashes with Holly in every conceivable way. But more complicated still are the resurfacing feelings Holly has as she is forced to confront an arduous past that she thought she had finally put behind her.
