Summary
Liam Payne dreads the arrival of another holiday season. Three years earlier, his wife cheated on him with his best friend, resulting in a bitter divorce that left him alone, broken, and distrustful. Then, one November day, a stranger approaches him in the mall food court. Though he recognizes the man from his office building, Liam has never formally met him. Tired of spending the holidays alone, the man offers him a proposition. For the next eight weeks─until the evening of December 24th─he suggests that they pretend to be a couple. He draws up a contract with four rules:
1. No deep, probing personal questions
2. No drama
3. No telling anyone the truth about the relationship
4. The contract is void on Christmas Day
The lonely Liam surprises himself by agreeing to the idea. As the charade progresses, the safety of his fake relationship begins to mend his badly broken heart. But just as Liam begins to find joy again, his long-held secret threatens the emerging romance. And he might not be the only one with a secret. -

Summary
What is grief? In technical terms, it is a multifaceted response to loss, particularly to the loss of someone or something that has died, to which a bond or affection was formed. Although conventionally focused on the emotional response to loss, it also has physical, cognitive, behavioral, social, and philosophical dimensions. My mum likes to say that grief is the invisible anchor that has kept me in my bed, too weary to properly function. Grief is what cause people to look at me strangely when I suddenly can't breathe because I saw something that forced me to think of him. It shouldn't be this hard. He was just a boy. A boy with freckled cheeks that crinkled by his eyes every time his frown that would curve upwards and instantly have everyone surrounding him grinning too. To me, grief had very little similiarities to what I have been going through since the day his mum called mine with news that would change my life forever.
