i have so enjoyed the time i've spent in north pole, minnesota. approximately yours brings the series to a close with danny and holly's cyrano de bergerac-like story.
when elda and holly come back to north pole for one last hurrah at their grandmother's home before their parents put it on the market, they are pleasantly surprised to encounter their old gingerbread nemesis danny garland. an even better surprise is how cute he's gotten. well, it's a surprise for elda, but holly kind of knew because she's harbored a crush on him for years and googled him before coming into town.
danny has had a run of back luck, a broken leg has him off the basketball court and a cheating ex-girlfriend has him doubting his skills with the ladies.
the thing with holly is that she has a lot of insecurity and fear that she's holding onto. partly she's worried about her looks and her weight. but she carries herself with such coolness and confidence that people miss the part where she's terrified of how others will see her. so she does her best to push them away before they can get to close.
she's also kind of a know-it-all. she falls into the trap of thinking she knows what everyone else is thinking and not realizing that whatever story she is building in her head it doesn't actually reflect reality. she thinks danny is a hot guy with hot guy attitudes, but he's also a crumbling mess of insecurities, especially when it comes to girls. in her mind, elda is the only one that danny can be interested in, given the looks and whole package thing. but the reality is that he's more attracted to holly. but having just been dumped the last thing he wants is to be with someone who doesn't want him. and unfortunately for holly that's the vibe she gives off.
but when danny texts elda and holly takes over all communication. things really starts to deepend and danny finds himself confused by the fact that he isn't interested in elda except he really likes the girl he is texting. but at some point this comedy of errors has to come to an end. and soon enough all the characters find themselves respectably paired off. and it is as charming and sweet as you might imagine it to be.
