The blurb:
Don’t you always plan the perfect Christmas?
Don’t you always think it will be the best one ever?
And doesn’t something – usually one of your loved ones – always come along and
screw it up?
Katy’s been spending too much time in the office
and not enough time with her family so she wants it all: snow (fake or real),
the Michael Bublé Christmas album, whatever it takes.
There’s only one thing missing as far as her husband Ben is concerned: another
baby to complete their family. Katy isn’t so sure…
Ben may be playing the role of Master Elf in the
pre-school nativity but he is struggling to master his own family life. With
romantically-challenged friends, an ex who refuses to go away and Katy's mum's
64-year-old toy boy thrown into the mix, Christmas looks like it could be
going off the rails… Never mind family planning, can Katy and Ben even plan to
make it to the end of Christmas Day?
My Opinion:
*Book
provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review*
This book is part of a series, I haven’t read the two
previous books, but I have read a Tracy Bloom book before, so I wanted to give
this a go.
I really enjoyed this story, but I think I would have
enjoyed it even more after reading the first two books of the series.
The story follows Katy and Ben. They are married and
have a daughter. Katy is very busy at work and a great opportunity comes up for
her. Ben is a teacher at pre-school and really wants another baby. Katy has
other things on her mind though.
On top of that there are Katy’s mum and toy boy coming
for Christmas and some of their friends play an important role in this book
too.
And then there is Matthew, Katy’s ex. Matthew and his pregnant
wife Alison add to the story as well.
The book has a great mixture of characters and there
are so many LOL moments and it’s a very entertaining read. The storyline has a
wonderful flow and a lot of sparkly elements.
