Kissing-under-the-mistletoe rule number one: Never kiss your ex-fiancée. Oops.

Fake boyfriend rule number one: Never fall for your fake girlfriend. Oops. I run Aphrodite’s Boutique, a store that specializes in all things love-related.

Sounds simple enough. Right?

One-night stand rule number one: Always check the condom’s expiry date.

Best friend rule number one: Never want the guy’s sister. Oops.
