With the holidays coming up, he makes a wish at the beach for a ‘perfect man’ and it comes true. His favorite mannequin at the store has come to life with no idea how to be a human, and names himself Aidan. There’s a catch to this wish, they must fall in love with each other by New Year’s Eve or he becomes a mannequin again. Henry starts teaching him how to be human, with a lot of LOL moments, and they soon fall for each other. When Henry has a meltdown, he says things to Aidan, it may just screw up the love of his life and what could be his perfect man. This is a well-written novel that tells the story from each of their perspectives. Watching them live and fall for each other is fun, and you root for them to be together. A perfect Holiday novel!
