Ze zeggen dat liefde en verbouwingen slecht samengaan. Volgens die theorie zouden haat en verbouwingen dus een complete ramp moeten opleveren… LaRynn Lavigne en Deacon Leeds hadden als tieners een korte zomerliefde, met niet bepaald een happy end. De stevige fundering ontbrak, zou je kunnen zeggen. Maar nu, tien jaar later, laten hun grootmoeders hun samen een vervallen gebouw in Santa Cruz na. En zit er niets anders op dan samenwerken om hier weer iets moois van te maken. LaRynn kan aan geld komen, maar moet getrouwd zijn om aanspraak te maken op haar erfenis. Deacon heeft de nodige bouwkundige kennis, maar geen geld. Ze sluiten een ze trouwen, en blijven getrouwd voor zolang het nodig is om het gebouw op te knappen en met winst te verkopen, en gaan dan weer uit elkaar. Maar samenwonen en werken in een huis zonder muren? Zonder de gebruikelijke leuke kanten van getrouwd zijn blijkt het een ware uitdaging om zo op elkaars lip te zitten...

In Rootbound, Funny Feelings, and in The Co-op, we get to see pieces of these characters' pasts, along with glimpses of their futures. This is a book about their Christmas presents; each taking place the year following "The End." In Idaho, Tait and Henry make a last minute change of plans for the holiday, and scramble to get into the spirit. In LA, Meyer and Farley watch Hazel perform in the Nutcracker, and reflect on some of the meaning behind one of the season's traditions. Over in Santa Cruz, Deacon and LaRynn are finally slowing down after a year of new beginnings. These small stories were written as a humble thank you to everyone who has supported these books in the last year, and who has fallen in love with these characters as much as I have. I hope your holidays are all filled with reflection on the past, hope for the future, and most of all; joy for the present.
