Título: The Santa Pageant
Autor: Lillian Barry
Sinopse: For fans of Rachel Bowdler and Ashley Herring Blake, a second-chance Christmas romance between a sunshiney lesbian and a chilly non-binary bisexual. Ten years ago, best friends Effie and Tove kissed in the bushes at Winter Ball...and then stood there like lemons, as if they weren't crushing on each other so hard it hurt. In the confusion, their friendship fizzled, and Tove walked into the sunset with some guy who had nice hair. Now a cocksure twenty-five-year-old with secretly appalling self-esteem, Effie enters the Santa of the Year Pageant to prove to her unsupportive family that Santa could, in fact, be a lesbian. Enter Tove, the grumpiest Santa in the grotto, back on the island after a harrowing break-up with Nice Hair Guy and using the Pageant to reconnect with the world. As the Pageant eliminates Santa after Santa, Effie and Tove clash over their past: the kiss that drove them apart, and the fears the last ten years have etched into their worldviews. Effie must let go of others’ opinions and learn to love herself, and Tove must move forward despite there being no guarantee they won’t be hurt again… Or they risk losing each other a second time.
