Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

It's the perfect Christmas love story.

Margot Murray is a newly single, high-flying businesswoman with no interest in a cutesy seasonal romance.

Ben Gibson is an unlucky-in-love sweetheart in need of a woman to bring home for the holidays.

Together, they make a pact: Margot gets a blissful week away from London in a picture-perfect manor, in exchange for posing as Ben's girlfriend.

The story can only go one way. Margot is sure to fall in love for real.

And she does.

With Ben's sister, Ellie.

What could possibly go wrong?

Light hearted and fun listen

I really enjoyed this - definitely worth a credit! Not too heavy whilst dealing with some serious issues. Narrated very well allowing the reader to invest in the characters.

Loved the warmth

Wasn’t what I was expecting but was pleasantly surprised. Preferred the narrator of Margo’s chapters.

It fell a bit flat for me...

Perhaps because of some of the plot devices plus the writing and narration styles meant the story, apart from the emotional abuse, did not ring true for me. I never felt really engaged by the characters or felt that bit of a spark a good romantic story has. Maybe reading the book would be better, because the narration is not great, but imo it would be better overall cut to 2/3 in length by some tough editing and the pace of the narration speeded up.

Feel good fluff that's fun all the way through

It's not going to challenge you in the way that James Joyce might, but I found this entertaining - it's just fun. I enjoyed the characters and their situation.

Swoony, lovely and fun

Really well performed by both actresses and I’m so glad we got a dual POV of a fake dating but fall for the sister trope, as it really flips it on its head! Super great.

Well rounded romantic romcom

Well written, light hearted and I enjoyed all the different quirky characters. There was a full range of emotions from sad to laugh out loud.
