About the book

Ever wished it could be Christmas every day? Wish again... 'Absolutely screamingly hilarious, full of Christmas-y sparkle and a lovely boy-next-door romance, but with some serious depth to bring you all the feels' LIZZY DENT Newly single lawyer Gwen Baker is hoping that a family Christmas - countryside, a mountain of food and festive films -
will salve the sting of her career hanging by a thread and her heart being trampled on. Because everyone else has their life sorted: even Dev, her boy-next-door crush, is now a tall, dark and handsome stranger with a fiancée. She can't help wishing her future was clearer. Then Gwen wakes up to discover it's Christmas day all over again. Like Groundhog Day but with turkey. And family arguments. On repeat. As she figures out how to escape her own particular Christmas hell, Dev is the one bright spot. He might be all grown-up but underneath he's just as kind and funny as she remembers. Maybe, just maybe, her heart can be mended after all. But how do you fall in love with someone who can't remember you from one day to the next? AUTHORS LOVE LINDSEY KELK 'So uplifting and wildly romantic' MARIAN KEYES 'Funny, engaging and sparkly' JANE FALLON 'I fell head over heels in love' BETH O'LEARY 'Sparkles on the page like champagne in the glass' MILLY JOHNSON 'The literary equivalent of opening a glass of wine with your best friend' MHAIRI MCFARLANE 'The kind of book you can't put down, but also want to last forever' EMILY HENRY

    “Life doesn’t have to be the thing you choose when you’re twenty-one.”

    Nette Christmas Story über Familienprobleme, Geschwisterstreit, verdrängte Gefühle, fehlende Kommunikation und die Jugendliebe, die man in der Heimatstadt wieder trifft. 🎄dieses Buch ist ein Christmas groundhog Buch mit einem Time Loop, in der sich der Weihnachtstag sooft wiederholt bis Gwen herausfindet, was für sie wirklich wichtig ist im Leben.

    This wasn’t quite what I’d expected, but it was still ok, I liked the humour. The story is mainly focused on Christmas Day Gwen's experiencing again and again and again. Fulfilling wishes from her family and hoping to end the time loop and Gwen finding herself after her life completely changes. After 10 Christmas morning with Gwen and her family I really was ready to finish this book. I really missed a real christmas romance story in the book (especially because it’s marked as 'romance'), so I found it a bit hard to finish.
