Who said mistakes have to be bad?
It’s Christmas break and I’m alone. My best friend is off with the dance team to the Bahama’s and I’m at home, trying to pad my college application by volunteering with Safety Net Mentors, a program that pairs teens with kids in need—and if I finally get to talk to my life-long crush, I’m okay with that.
Everything is going according to plan until I discover that not only is my ex-best friend, Grayson back, but he’s also volunteering. And we get paired with siblings.
Great.
I not only have to talk to him but I have to spend time with him and his mentee. Which seems doable as long as neither of us bring up the past.
Which seems harder to do than say.
Now I’m so confused, I can’t keep my mind straight. There’s something Grayson isn’t telling me and feelings that creep up that weren’t there before.
And I don't know what to do when what felt like the biggest Christmas break mistake doesn’t feel that was anymore. If only I could figure out what everything meant, I just might survive with my heart intact.

My Review: 4 StarsEllie's Christmas break isn't exactly shaping up to be as she pictured it. In an effort to get into an Ivy League college, she's home volunteering and her new partner in crime is her ex-best friend. Grayson left her without a word and is back now and she's not sure she can forgive him, especially as he continues to hold his secrets.Christmas is a magical time, as is apparent in this story. Not only are Ellie and Grayson able to help these young siblings that they mentor while they're mom is dealing with rehab, but the ice is melting around Ellie's heart. Magic is shown in love and forgiveness, acceptance and hope, sweet romance, and most of all, in service. I love those little obvious and subliminal messages that appear throughout the story. This one is a sweet, tender one!Content: mild romance; mild instances of parental neglect/rehab
