Olivia Rodrigo doesn't believe in love anymore. Not after the heartbreaks, the mixed signals and the humiliating realization that caring too much always ends badly. She's decided that love is pathetic, overrated and honestly kind of embarrassing. So when she ends up hate-watching a cheesy romcom at the cinema, she meets Finn Wolfhard the annoyingly funny and sarcastic guy sitting beside her who spends the entire night loudly predicting every cliché before it happens. To Olivia's surprise, Finn might hate romance even more than she does. What starts as mutual hatred for love turns into friendship and a campus reputation as the "Anti-Love Duo". The two people most likely to mock couples holding hands around campus or give one-star reviews to romance movies. But as their friendship starts turning into something dangerously close to a romcom cliché, neither of them can ignore it anymore. Because what's more embarrassing than falling in love? Falling for someone who hates it just as much as you do.

This Christmas, it's time you gave away your heart to someone special. Someone right. Someone who'll show you what true love is, with a special frosty touch.

Gather round, children! Pause your Fortnites, switch off your Tiktoks, and pop a Ritalin, for it's time for a story! A delightfully deranged story about the most wonderful time of the year: the apocalypse! A day of wrath! A day of mourning! Christmas trees and gingerbread houses in ashes burning! Clinch your butt-cheeks in horror, boys and girls! Biblically accurate angels have come to the North Pole! They come bearing prophecies of a Pagan purge. Santa Claus must surrender Christmas to the Holy Spirit, or else suffer the wrath of Heaven. Unless, in a last ditch effort, Santa Claus, our lovely Pagan giver of gifts, can kidnap a boy from the human world and train him to be her white knight. But the boy she chooses, Peter, is stupid, cruel, and naughty- the opposite of a hero. With no battle strategy and the Christmas Apocalypse only weeks away, he must learn to fight, to sledge, to bake delicious cookies, and recruit as many yandere Snow Witches, Penguin Queens, and tsun-tsun Peppermint Princesses as he can if he hopes to save Christmas.
