A big family. A whole lot of secrets. A Christmas to remember…
This year, Lottie is hosting one last big family Christmas at the home
she grew up in – just like her Nana would have wanted.
But when her relatives descend on the old manor house, Lottie gets more
than she bargained for. Every family has its secrets, but in this family, everybody has
one!
So, between cooking a Christmas dinner, keeping tensions at bay and a
stray dog out of mischief, she has plenty on her plate and not just misshapen
sausage rolls and a frozen turkey. And then her first love shows up – nine
years after he walked out of her life.
Can Lottie make their last family Christmas one to remember… for the
right reasons?

Time to get festive and for Lottie that means upholding long
standing traditions, at least this one final time. Determined to uphold her
Nana’s customs and Christmas traditions she sets about playing host before a
surprise visitor leaves her feeling on edge, a houseful of family drama and a cat
and dog that cause drama every way she turns.
What an absolute hoot, I loved this from beginning to end. Littered
with sentimentality for years gone by and missed loved ones, it has plenty of
laugh out loud moments that highly entertained – usually involved one furry
friend at least. I really loved this family and fair play to Lottie – she really
works hard to make everyone happy.
Her kitchen disasters are appreciated even if sounding inedible.
I loved her relationship with her brother, he is always on her side which is
good as at times I felt like she was treated like some servant catering to
everyone else’s whims and fancies.
What I really enjoyed about this? Is that I could identify
with parts, some of the mishaps and funny moments. I think this is what will
appeal to so many readers, we aren’t given the picture-perfect Christmas that
although often cute, just isn’t realistic. One Family Christmas is bound to
remind most people of their own unique family Christmases.
So many characters can sometimes be confusing, but each had
their own unique personality and place in the book it felt like you were right
in the middle of this crazy but equally lovely family. I could see this as a
fun filled, comedy Christmas film!
Family relationships are tested but this heart warming read
will show that through all the ups and downs family can be there for each other.
It’s a gorgeous, cosy read that will have you laughing one minute and feeling
reminiscent the next. With forgotten love, missed family members and new
chances at love being offered, this wonderful read can tick all the boxes.
I highly recommend this fun filled, festive treat!
