Why these tropes fit
Jordan Frost returns to her hometown of Holly Bay, Washington for the holidays after secretly publishing a novel based on her eccentric family under a pseudonym, wearing a wig and glasses for her author photo. Charles Pine, a high school friend who never got over her, recognizes her at the bookstore where he works and sees his chance to become more than the shoulder she cried on back then. As a series of minor family emergencies threatens to expose her secret and cause a holiday meltdown, he tries to help her through the chaos and prove he can be boyfriend material.
