Summary
Lily is back from Australia for the first time in seven years to spend Christmas at her mum’s house in a small, gossipy English village. To her surprise, she returns to find that her mother is dating the man next door, who also happens to be the father of her ex-boyfriend Tom. Tom, who broke Lily’s heart all those years ago. Tom, the real reason Lily fled to the other side of the world and stayed there. Tom, who is also home for Christmas and right there, next door.
In what is shaping up to be the worst Christmas ever, somehow Lily and Tom have to try to get along and play happy families, but living with the man who she is clearly not over is proving to be difficult, and tensions are high. Add in some drunken caroling, a reindeer bite, a potent Christmas pudding and some meddling parents and Lily’s trip home will turn her entire life upside down.

Lily’s Christmas surprises
This was just what I wanted. Lots of fun, misunderstandings, quirky characters, Santa, reindeer, realisations, rings.
Lily hasn’t been home from Sydney for years and her mum has failed to warn her of the new sleeping arrangements.
Just imagine - her old boyfriend (the one who broke her heart and was the reason she moved across the world) turns up! I wonder what’s going to happen!!!

Witty and fun
This book gave me many laughs, it has some very enjoyable and memorable moments. It is predictable but it didn’t matter because the journey there was fun.

Fun, cheesy story
An enjoyable if predictable, short romance story. Good fun to listen to but the narrator was truly awful. What a dreadful accent. And it couldn’t even stay consistent. It did spoil my enjoyment of this. Also set in England, with English characters then occasionally non English phrases which really grated eg talking of grade 1 in primary school which is not a thing.

Well narrated but...
This is a gentle,predictable read.
Well read,but I spent a lot of the time trying to work out the narrator accent. Anywhere from Australia to the Scottish highlands,. Can anyone help me?!

Sweet Christmas romance
Second book now read from K Forster, really enjoyed the story, characters and location. It’s simple but charming with a good gentle theme.

Lovely quick, enjoyable read!
I really enjoyed the two main characters and the descriptions of the wider family. Knowing Sydney quite well the descriptions of Lily’s life - and memories of my own early years working and dating in a big city - really resonated. Just what I needed when I wasn’t quite ready to let go of the whole Christmas vibe! 😁
