Because of that, Finley mentions that she always pulled away from intimacy with her first boyfriend, Brody. They go from holding hands and wrestling with internalized feelings to sharing a kiss.īut there are mentions of the fact that a number of people connected to Finley-including her teen roommate at school and both her grandmother and mother-became pregnant out of wedlock at a young age. Of course … it also might be the Christmas that Finley Brown falls in love.įinley and Arthur’s relationship changes and grows through a number of comic and sweet spits and spurts. This could well end up being the biggest disaster of a Christmas in Finley’s short life. Otherwise, things back at school will get a whole lot worse for her.
No, he’s furiously disappointed! And he pulls Finley aside to demand that she deliver the Christmas that she promised.
Of course, when Arthur gets an eyeful of what Christmas, Oklahoma, really looks like-all frozen scrub grass and empty shops in need of a fresh coat of paint-he’s somewhat disappointed. And after seeing Finley’s social media posts and pictures about her home town (which might have been just a teeny, tiny bit fabricated) they have come to Christmas for the most incredible Christmas ever!
It turns out that Arthur and his aunt always jet off to some exotic place for Christmas. Right after Finley arrives home, Arthur Chakrabarti Watercress and his very British Aunt Esha show up too. And her mom and dad might be on the way to the big D-as in divorce. For one thing, her ex-boyfriend Brody and her BFF Mia are now a couple! Not only that, but her former rival Ayisha-the prettiest girl in town-now works at her grandmother’s inn. She’ll work a bit at her grandmother’s small inn and then just disappear into her room as Christmas passes in Christmas.īut when Finley arrives home, things aren’t so familiar as she thought. At least it’s comfortably familiar back in that broken-down, quirky, holiday-themed burg. So Finley decides to just fly home to Christmas, Oklahoma, for the holidays. Whatever it is, her grades are only so-so, she has no real friends, and she feels like a total failure. Or maybe it’s having to rub elbows with other teens like Arthur Chakrabarti Watercress, a stiff, snooty guy from a wealthy British Indian family who always seems on the verge of mocking everything Finley does. Maybe it’s the fact that everyone at Barrington is incredibly smart and expected to perform at a super high level. Maybe it’s because of her small-town Oklahoma sensibilities. Sixteen-year-old Finley Brown is certainly as bright as an LED bulb on high, but her first semester at Barrington-an elite Connecticut boarding school-hasn’t gone so well.
