The Christmas Orphans Club: A Novel Becca Freeman

From bookfluencer and host of the BAD ON PAPER podcast, a riotous holiday rom-com about four friends in NYC who hold onto their unconventional Christmas tradition even when their paths diverge--but the changes they fear might be exactly what they need...

Hannah and Finn have spent every Christmas together since they were sophomores in college. Neither has anywhere else to go--Hannah's parents died, and Finn's disowned him when he came out. Their first makeshift Christmas kicked off a tradition of offbeat holiday adventures that grew only more outrageous as the years passed. When the pair starts their adult lives in New York City, they add stylish Priya and mysterious Theo to the crew, solidifying a found family that provides the sense of belonging they've always craved.

But ten years into their tradition, Finn announces he's moving to L. A., meaning that this Christmas will be their last. Hannah is terrified of losing the family she's built for herself, even as her seemingly perfect boyfriend nudges her toward commitment. Meanwhile, Finn struggles with the things he's about to leave behind--namely, his unexpressed feelings for Theo. What will this Christmas look like to friends who are doing their best to stay together even as they learn, finally, to grow up?
