Meet Me Under the Mistletoe by Jenny Bayliss

I love how Nory could see that with her friends, too, even though there might have been some past events that she’d rather not revisit. There are friends I’ve grown up with who had a different upbringing than I’d had, and even though that’s the case, we’ve found common ground, particularly now that we’re adults and those divides don’t seem to matter as much. Nory and Isaac explore their common ground, but pressures mount on all sides, and Nory must decide what kind of life she wants to live and what sort of love is worth the risk. And as Nory spends more time with Isaac during the wedding festivities, she finds herself falling hard for the boy she used to consider an enemy. When she falls quite literally into the arms of Isaac, the castle’s head gardener, who has nothing but contempt for the “snobby prep school kids,” the attraction between them is undeniable. The reunion brings back fond memories, but also requires Nory to dodge an ill-advised former fling. So when two of her oldest friends invite their whole gang to spend the time leading up to their wedding together at the castle near their old school, Nory must prepare herself for an emotionally complicated few days.

Forever torn between her working-class upbringing and her classmates’ extravagant lifestyles at the posh private school she attended on scholarship, Nory has finally figured out how to keep both at equal distance.
