On a grey London day, Esme’s world crumbles around her when she loses her glitzy job on a top TV programme, her gorgeous, city-slicker boyfriend and her stunning apartment, all in one fell swoop just before Christmas.
Esme is forced suddenly to move back to her sleepy home town of Sandchester, and despite the snow blanketing the roof and the fairy lights that twinkle in her rustic little cottage, everything is looking bleak. That is until she reconnects with an old crush and finds herself unexpectedly getting swept away.
But Joe, handsome and charming as he is, is not all he seems. Esme soon realises that he has a tragic past which he just might not be able to overcome…
Surrounded by her loving, if hare-brained, family and with the support of her hilarious friends, Esme is determined to have a go at forging her own path, even if it all comes to nothing. But one question still lingers in her mind: will she find someone to kiss under the mistletoe this Christmas?
Perfect for fans of Lucy Coleman, Karen Swan and Jo Thomas

‘What a good read this book was. The author spins a great tale, with lovely, human and often eccentric characters. The book is a real roller coaster, following the trials and tribulations of the leading lady. Plenty of emotions, sad and happy. Lots of hilarious scenes. Katie has a gift for writing those. All of this tied up in a nice romantic package. I’m now inspired to go and make a batch of cheese scones. You won’t regret picking this book up but make sure you’ve got plenty of time as you won’t want to put it down’ Netgalley *****
