What’s two weeks pretending to be in love with your best friend?

Thea and Nat have lived together for a year, and have been best friends for many more. They do everything together, including Christmas with each other's families. This year, it's a trip to the vineyard to spend the festive season with Thea's family.

Thea’s mum has a bad habit of setting her daughter up on dud dates and doesn't miss the opportunity to meddle in her daughter’s love life. So, after being set up on a coffee date with a stranger, Thea takes Nat for backup, which turns out to be a big mistake.

One little white lie has a snowball effect, setting off a chain of whispers through small-town Hawke, and pretty soon Thea’s mum is swooning over the idea of Thea and Nat as a couple. Not wanting to break her mum’s heart, Thea talks Nat into going along with it, just for two weeks. What could go wrong?!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

A.J. Marchant. That’s me. Hi. I’m an Australian author, currently living in a small rural town but missing the grunge of the city and the relaxed coastal vibe that I enjoy.

Against all good advice, I’m an unapologetic genre-hopper. Which means I write stories in many forms— literary, romance, action & adventure, fantasy, crime & thriller— but I believe the most important part of a story are the characters, no matter in which genre they’re portrayed.

Like myself, my main characters are queer, gay, lesbian, pick your word (or don’t, I’m not one for labels either). But it’s their strength and the way they overcome whatever life throws at them that I like to push to the front. For the most part, sexuality plays a role only in the background. My hope is that it’s stories like these that become part of mainstream publishing, and mainstream media and entertainment as a whole.

I have no great story about how I became a writer. It isn’t something I’ve wanted to do since I was five. I wasn’t the kid in the back of the class scribbling down a story. Words were just my way to process as a teenager and young adult (they still are). They’re my way to think outside my brain and my body, a way to learn and know myself, the world, to pull myself out of a funk and up by the bootstraps, to write down the good and bad, both important and worth remembering.

The best I can say it is through the words of poet Andrea Gibson —

“I didn’t come here to write my heart out, I came to write it in.” (Truce)

Books have always been a part of my life. Stories of all kinds. As a teenager I was reading books most adults have never even picked up.

From the classics, to crime novels, to comics, to literary fiction— my parents never held back when it came to providing stories to read, always encouraging and scrambling to keep up as I tore through them on holidays. I can’t remember ever not having a book to read.

Speak what is on your mind. Write what is in your heart.

Drop a comment or get in touch, I’d love to hear from you.

Thea and Nat’s fake relationship to please Thea’s mom turns into so much more. Roommates and best friends, Nat and Thea, spend Christmas together at Thea’s family’s home. The family believes the two are together. They fake it for the sake of bringing joy to Thea’s mom. This was a Hallmark movie come to life.

Sometimes, as the old saying goes, you can't see the forest for the trees. Both women are too shy/ scared to tell each other how they feel about each otger.
This is a cute story about being brave and finally figuring out that no-one is a mindreader....you need to just buck up and spit it out. Cute story!

Nat and Thea have been best friends and roommates for years. The experiences they have had bring so much love for them both. This Christmas a present they didn't expect his them right in the heart. This is a warm family story that will have you laughing, crying and well connected to the characters in the best way. I love the MC's and their banter is just one of many gifts the book offers. There are some tense family moments and your heart will gasp a couple of times. It is soul beautiful with enough love to make dreams come true. I am lov8ng this authors writing.

Snappy, snarky and just so lovable! Thanks to AJ Marchand for this delightful Christmas story. I laughed out loud and shared some of the dialogue with others in the room. That is one indication of a well written story. Another is the longing to read something else by the author! So do the right thing, buy this book and read parts out loud to others and make them buy it as well!

Thea is too much like her father about speaking out. But then her father has Kate his wife to help. Thea doesn't know it yet. Sometimes it is hard to see what has been in front of her since Nat moved in with her. Patiently Nat has waited and waited until it was almost to late. Nat has been there beside her and Thea still has not taken the hint. Does she? Delightful Christmas story, Enjoy!

Not a terrible book, per se... But, it kind of really sucked. At least for me. You can't claim a book is a happy Christmas story if it keeps you in a state of anxiety ridden depression for almost the whole time, and then the last 5% is happy. You should give a warning or something.

Cute reading, there's not a lot of drama, a touch of angst with the whole will they won't they bit, but not enough to sour the experience, which were a great feel good one IMHO

MC and LI had so much chemistry that got me a bit dizzy with the fumes. Not but fr, I was a bit antsy, all for them to get together soon and the two idiots, a perfect match, just didn't do it before last minute overtime of the match

I'll confess something though, I almost took 1 star of the book because of the simple quotation marks marking the dialogue, lawd that did bother me, guess there isn't much going on in my life if that's what gets under my skin, eh? Lmao
