They are both very immature and blind to what they could have. The truth finally does come out before they are completely buried under their lies, but at what cost?Īs fake relationships go, this one is not a happy one.

They unexpectedly build on their lies from a series of hilarious faux pas and miscommunications resulting in a full-family plan of a shotgun wedding. Kate and Chuck’s families are overbearing and pushy to the point where the poor couple doesn’t have any control over anything, let alone their own lives, when they arrive home for Christmas. The story is told in alternating viewpoints from Kate and Chuck as we slowly get the whole picture of the mess they have created. The pressure is on and it’s time to confess at Christmas….or so they thought. The families expect Kate and Chuck to get married and have babies. Their families own a chocolate company together and do everything together. You see Kate left Chuck four months ago and has moved on with another guy, but they haven’t told their families. Now, with the midnight hour approaching, will Chuck and Kate’s relationship turn out to be fake or real? MY REVIEWĬamilla Isley writes conflict and comedy so well and Chuck and Kate’s dilemma is no exception. And when just-for-show kisses stir up forgotten feelings, things get even more complicated. The more they try to pull apart, the more the Universe seems to push them back together, shortening the road to the altar. They head home for Christmas, determined to tell the truth-and end up accidentally engaged instead. But with the holidays looming over them, they can no longer keep pretending. With parents who are best friends and business partners, it’s not easy for Chuck and Kate to announce they’ve split up.

But after she broke his heart four months ago, leaving him, it became all just pretense for the sake of their entwined families. There are two types of relationships: fake and real.Ĭhuck and Kate’s used to be real, oh-so-real.
