Boyfriend

The dreamiest player on the Moo U hockey team hangs a flyer on the bulletin board, and I am spellbound: Rent a boyfriend for the holiday. For $25, I will be your Thanksgiving date. I will talk hockey with your dad. I will bring your mother flowers. I will be polite, and wear a nicely ironed shirt. Now everyone knows it's a bad idea to introduce your long-time crush to your messed-up family. But I really do need a date for Thanksgiving, even if I'm not willing to say why. So I tear his phone number off of that flyer. and accidentally entangle our star defenseman in a ruse that neither of us can easily unwind. Because Weston's family is even nuttier than mine. He needs a date, too, for the most uncomfortable holiday engagement party ever thrown. There will be hors d'oeuvre. There will be faked PDA. And there will be pro-level awkwardness.
