Now we're off working out way through the books that Sarah Honey wrote with Lisa Henry. The first one is a novella/short story titled "Cool Story, Bro."
["Canadian Levi is a stranger in a strange land. It’s December in Perth, Australia and it’s stinking hot. He's lonely, he’s homesick, and it really doesn’t feel like Christmas. The one bright point is his cute disaster of a co-worker, Travis, except Levi can’t figure out why Travis keeps running away whenever Levi talks to him.
Working at Booze Barn over the Christmas period is hell, but at least Travis has maple-syrup flavored eye candy Levi to brighten his days—except Levi’s miserable. To cure Levi’s homesickness, Travis comes up with a brilliant plan. After all, how hard can it be to recreate a Canadian Christmas in the cool room?
One thing’s for sure—between cranky customers, fake snow, and a deflating reindeer, this Christmas Eve is going to make for a cool story one day."]
This story was super sweet! Travis was all awkward and shy and smitten. And then he made such a perfect "grand romantic gesture" for Levi, even though they still had barely held a full conversation (Canadian English is a looooot different than Australian English). A very easy and hopeful read to end my day with. :)
