It’s George and Ophelia’s first Christmas as a married couple, but Effie is only half-concerned about the fact that her sister may be hiding the fact that she’s pregnant. All that Effie wants for Christmas this year is to go out on her first date with Robbie – her boy-that-is-a-friend. Asking Robbie out during a family gathering though, isn’t quite as easy as it seems.
“George & Ophelia’s First Christmas” is a YA short story of 22 pages. You can find all six Effie stories in “Effie’s Senior Year: The Complete Effie Stories.”
