India Jane was heart broken when she thought Joe was meant to be with her but it didn't last long and shes confused of what love is now. So she gets all her friends together to help find her the perfect boy for Christmas. It was tough luck at first but she found one but she met another as well. She will have to choose between them or choose no one at all, India Jane learned that love isn't all just a click of a finger

India Jane is such a fitting character for her role in the book, as well as some other characters. The book also captures a realistic story that's been completely made up by the author. I would recommend this book to people who love stories that seem to be real but its fiction. This book it a good read and it has so many realistic features that are inside!.
