Mamas, if you have not yet discovered the joy of reading an awesome Christmas novel during the lead-up to December 25th, now is your chance. This is your year. And we have a suggestion.
We both devoured this laugh-out-loud yet also sweet (and a little spicy) novel called “The Christmas Wish” by Lindsey Kelk. If you need a break from all the holiday chaos and work, this is it. It really is an incredible rom-com that made me want to read more stories like it.
Title: The Christmas Wish
Author: Lindsey Kelk
What it’s about (no spoilers):
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 eggnog. 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?
Why we like it: It really comes down to the laughs and that oh-so-special connection between two people falling in love. Plus, there’s a crazy Groundhog Day time rewinding effect happening that may sound crazy, but this author makes it work so well. Trust us. It’s just the perfect way to escape for a few hours into a fun adventure that will have you rooting for this hilarious main character. Also, the story happens in the outskirts of London, so you get a big dose of self-deprecating British humor and characters that you’ll wish lived right next door to you. And we promise… the ending is so worth it.
