“A really nice romantic escape!” — The Lesbian Review

Thanksgiving arrives in one week and one day. Feeling hemmed in by parental expectations? Are they disappointed by your sapphic proclivities? I can help! The only pay I want is the holiday meal!

I didn’t know what I was looking for until I saw her Craigslist ad.

I love my family. I’m lucky to have them—well, most of them. But my aunt? I’m so tired of her giving my mom crap because I happen to be a lesbian. So one pink-haired tattoo artist pretending to be my girlfriend will annoy my Christian fundamentalist aunt right back and make my Thanksgiving perfect.

Only…Brooke turns out to be cuter and more complicated than I expected. And before you can say “yorkiepoo,” we kiss…and abduct a dog together. I want to keep them both, but Brooke isn’t the kind to be kept. Lucky for me, I’m the kind to chase what I want.
