Its the holiday season in this youngadult contemporary romance, and all Beckett Hawthorne wants is to make his way across the country and try to find some semblance of a life that looks nothing like his past...until he meets Evelyn Waverly. Evelyn Waverley, Christmas Highs Senior Class President, volunteer at every Christmas charity drive, and basic overachiever, has a problem shes codirecting and starring in her dream role as Elizabeth Bennet in her high schools production of A Pride and Prejudice Christmas, but Greg Bailey, the boy who was supposed to play Darcy broke his leg. Enter Beckett Hawthorne, Aunt Bees nephew, former child prodigy, and recent juvenile delinquent. Beckett has arrived in Christmas, Virginia to spend his community service hours working at his uncles Christmas tree farm, as well as to get away from his heroinaddicted mother and abusive stepfather. Of course, Beckett doesnt have any interest in the role of Darcy either, but when he (mistakenly) mentions the play to his social worker, she presses him to do it. He agrees to play Darcy, not expecting Evelyns joyful attitude about life and all things Christmas to melt the permafrost that has formed around his heart. Soon he finds himself imagining a very different kind of future, one that is filled with the sorts of things he always thought were too good for himhope, love, familyand he has Evelyn to thank for it. | Chelsea Bobulski All I Want For Christmas is the in Charge: A YA Holiday
