ABOUT THIS BOOK When Jenny inherits her estranged grandmother’s cottage in Sherwood Forest, she has nothing to lose - no money, no job, no friends, no family to speak of, and zero self-respect. Things can only get better... Her grumpy, but decidedly handsome new neighbour, Mack, has a habit of bestowing unsolicited good deeds on her. And when Jenny is welcomed into a rather unusual book club, life seems to finally be getting more interesting. Instead of reading, the members pledge to complete individual challenges before Christmas: from finding new love, learning to bake, to completing a daredevil bucket list. Jenny can’t resist joining in, and soon a year of friendship and laughter, tears and regrets unfolds in the most unexpected ways. MY REVIEW Now one of my favourite books EVER, CHRISTMAS EVERY DAY by Beth Moran is the perfect blend of wit, romance, and that little something called magic which combines to make this story engaging in every possible way. Jenny has an estranged relationship with her mother who checked out years ago, and a volatile relationship with her twin sister who hates everything about her. But she has her secret romance which is about to become public when he proposes at their work party. Only he doesn't propose to her. He proposes to her twin. And so that is how Jenny finds herself jobless on the doorstep of a dilapidated cottage in Sherwood Forest that used to belong to her grandmother whom she knew nothing about. You would think things couldn't get worse but try sleeping in a car in a shed with rats for company! But Jenny knows that she needs to take some time to simply figure out who she is and what she really wants from life, and as she painstakingly begins to renovate the cottage, meet the locals, and make real friends for the first time in her life, things may just be starting to look up. If only she could stop putting her foot in it with her handsome and helpful next-door neighbour. But this quaint little village has its own snakes who want to see Jenny leave, and when a wife arrives next door and a wedding invitation brings her heartbreak roaring back into the present, will it ruin everything that Jenny has worked hard to build? Engaging and witty from the very beginning, there was a real freshness to this story which made it stand out. Jenny is a wonderful character who is so relatable and loveable and I desperately wanted her to see her worth and find happiness. This small community with its host of quirky characters were excellent in every way and I was sad when I got to the end because I didn't want to say goodbye to them all. There is drama, high emotions, genuine friendship and more nestled among these pages but there is never a dull moment and CHRISTMAS EVERY DAY by Beth Moran is truly wonderful in every way. I cannot wait for more!!! AUTHOR BIO Beth Moran is the author of three previous books, including Making Marion.
