At thirty, Claudia's life is stale and the romance with her long-term boyfriend, Seth, has disappeared. Determined to inject some festive spark back into their love life, Claudia and Seth go on their first date in a very long time. But when the night ends in disaster, Claudia suddenly finds herself facing life - and Christmas - alone.
Life alone is exciting, scary and full of soon-forgotten exercise regimes and ill-advised attempts at crafting sexy underwear. It's also filling up with dates, surprisingly. With best friends Penny and Nick at her side, a surplus of festive markets, mulled wine and Christmas tunes, Claudia attempts to face all this change with gusto. One thing's for certain: this year, Christmas is going to be very different . . .
I enjoyed reading this book! The main character,Claudia, she was a lovely character to read about. She was very funny, a bit messy sometimes. From the beginning you just know that Seth isn't the perfect guy for her, as he was acting like quite a douchebag to her. Her two best friends Penny and Nick where just lovely, the friends you want to have yourself. I really liked that Claudia and Nick started dating, he was acting amazing towards Claudia.
Claudia goes on more dates, not only with Nick, but she realises that she’s got feelings for him, too bad her best friend Penny likes home too… After some misunderstandings and being drunk at a Christmas party, Nick finally tells her how he feels, just then Penny turns up…
I loved how I didn't know what was going to hand and when I thought I finally knew. There was another twist in the tale. There was so much reference to Christmas in the book and the descriptions were perfect, this is something I loved! I was able to transport myself to December in October which I loved. I definatly recommend this book for coming december when you want to get in the festive christmas mood and want to curl up with a cozy read!
