The Gift Exchange: A Young Adult Holiday Anthology - Paperback

by Nicole Frail (Editor)

A heartwarming young adult anthology that celebrates the magic, messiness, and true meaning of the holiday season.

In these ten standalone stories, teens navigate grief, love, friendship, and the surprises that come wrapped in unexpected packages. From a holiday heist to a magical keychain, a storm-delayed reunion to a secret society, each story explores how giving-and receiving-can open hearts and heal old wounds.

Featured stories include:

• "One Perfect Gift" by Caroline Baccene

Whether through new love, chosen family, or long-overdue reconciliation, The Gift Exchange shows that the holidays are less about what's under the tree and more about the people around it. Perfect for fans of cozy and contemporary romance, found family, and meaningful moments.
