(opposites attract, second chance, road trip, snowed in, just one bed) but this time, sadly, without the yummy food (see aforementioned road trip and snowed in).<\/p>\n<p>Tasha and Greg were friends from a young age and started dating at sixteen, but then broke up after they went to university in different cities.\u00a0But all that was 15 years ago, and since they&#8217;re both traveling from Toronto to their hometown of Mosquito Bay for Christmas, it&#8217;s natural that their parents will arrange for them to carpool. But how can two so opposite people come out of a road trip, snow storm and a family Christmas together?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cTasha always looked forward, never back. She tried not to think too much about the past, and Greg was firmly in her past. The only time she\u2019d broken her own rule and given an ex a second chance, it had failed spectacularly. She\u2019d seen it fail many times for her friends, too.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Greg is such a dorky engineer, and I mean that in the best possible way. He builds model trains, for goodness&#8217; sakes! Tasha&#8217;s also an engineer, but she&#8217;s much more outgoing. Greg&#8217;s idea of a good road trip is leaving exactly on schedule and listening to CBC radio, while Tasha&#8217;s more laid back and looking forward to belting out some holiday hits. I loved how they had no hard feelings or angst between them about their breakup since it was mainly due to their geographic distance&#8230; something that&#8217;s not a problem anymore now that they&#8217;re both working in Toronto. While they both believed they had moved on from their first love, a night of reminiscing is perfect for reminding them of what&#8217;s been missing from each of their lives. But Tasha has a rule against second chances &#8211; for good reason &#8211; and it&#8217;s up to Greg (with a little help from the rest of the Wongs) to show her that rules are meant to be broken.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI made the snowstorm happen!\u201d Ah Ma said. \u201cI have magic powers!\u201d<br \/>\nDad rolled his eyes. \u201cMa, surely if you had magic powers you would use some of them to improve your cooking.\u201d<br \/>\nShe sniffed. \u201cThey are very <em>specific<\/em> magic powers. For love.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Like the previous book in this series, it&#8217;s refreshingly low angst. There&#8217;s still plenty of humor, courtesy of their clashing personalities and a particularly amorous older couple in the motel room next to theirs, and, of course, because of Ah Ma. One of my absolute favorite things about Jackie Lau&#8217;s books is how well she writes families &#8211; they&#8217;re messy, they&#8217;re annoying, but they&#8217;re above all loving.\u00a0I love the Wongs so much &#8211; I love the idea that even though your family might drive you up the wall, they&#8217;ll always have your back, and this was especially true in this book.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, this is a delightfully fun, tropetastic holiday read, and I&#8217;m very much looking forward to the next Wong book!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, it&#8217;s another fun Jackie Lau book, once again full of all the tropey goodness (opposites attract, second chance, road trip, snowed in, just one bed) but this time, sadly, without the yummy food (see aforementioned road trip and snowed in).
