When 17-year-old Rosalie’s stepmom, Susan, sabotages her Christmas by secretly canceling her flight, Rosalie is devastated.
But karma has other plans.
A series of ironic twists and turns leaves Susan stranded, humiliated, and exposed for her manipulation… ensuring that her Christmas is far from perfect.
Last Christmas was supposed to be perfect.
But life’s not perfect, is it? Especially when you have to deal with a stepmom who really doesn’t care about you.
I’m Rosalie, and I’m seventeen, and let me tell you about the nightmare that was my Christmas.
Two years ago, after a pretty seamless divorce, my dad got married to Susan.
And let’s just say that we didn’t hit it off as well as he would have hoped.
From the moment she entered my life, Susan made it clear that I wasn’t part of the perfect blended family she had envisioned.
“Rosalie is too much like her mother, Rob. What did you expect? That we’d hit it off perfectly and be the new mother-daughter duo around?
That girl is stubborn to the core.”
At least she had that right.
Since then, I had moved to a tiny apartment about twelve hours away from my dad. At first, he hadn’t wanted me to leave, but Susan had gotten her way in the end. She also wanted me gone.
I wasn’t complaining.
I mean, I was closer to my mom in any case, the school I was enrolled in was so much better than my previous one, and the building I lived in belonged to my dad’s aunt.
So, she was constantly checking in on me, bringing casseroles of food and baked treats.
Rent was covered, and between my monthly allowances from my parents and the part-time job I had at the local spa, I was sorted. I was thriving on my own.
What happened next changed everything… FULL STORY on the next page.
