Christmas is just a few days away, and Lila Beckwith, 17, has the perfect holiday plans. Her parents are going away for the weekend, which means house party. There's just one thing in her way: Lila's ten-year old brother, Cooper. Cooper, an avid believer in Santa Claus, sets off to the North Pole with his best friend, Tyler. And Tyler just so happens to be Lila's ex-boyfriend, Beau's, little brother. Lila has to find Cooper and get him safely home before her parents return, but that's not so easy when you are stuck in a car with your ex for two days straight.
One negative aspect to this book was the very predictable ending. You don't even need me to tell you what happens. Nevertheless, it somewhat ruins the story to know how it's all going to turn out, but I have to give Kate Brian some credit, because she throws in unexpected twists.
In spite of the easy-to-predict ending, Ex-Mas is more than your run-of-the-mill romance story. It has humor, self-discovery, and a festive twist. Additionally, Kate Brian paints an incredible image with her descriptive words and it's very easy to imagine the characters, setting, and scenes.
