"The misadventures of Becky Brandon Née Bloomwood continue in a new novel full of holiday cheer and--of course--lots of shopping!"--
'Tis the season for change, and Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) is embracing it, reutrning from the states to live in the charming village of Letherby and working with her best friend, Suze, in the gift shop of Suze's stately home. Life is good, especially now that Becky takes time every day for mindfulness -- even if that only means listening to a meditation while hunting down online bargains. But Becky still adores the traditions of Christmas: her parents hosting, carols playing on repeat, her mother pretending she made the Christmas pudding, and the neighbors coming round for sherry in their terrible holiday sweaters. Things are looking cheerier than ever, until Becky's parents announce they're moving to ultra-trendy Shoreditch -- unable to resist the draw of craft beer and smashed avocados -- and ask Becky if she'll host this year. What coule possibly go wrong? Becky's sister demands a vegan turkey, her husband insists he just wants aftershave (again), and little Minnie needs a very specific picnic hamper: Surely Becky can manage all this, as well as the surprise appearance of an old boyfriend-turned-rock star and his pushy new girlfriend, whose motives are far from clear. But as the countdown to Christmas begins and her bighearted plans take an unexpected turn toward disaster, Becky wonders if chaos will ensue or if she'll manage to bring comfrot and joy to Christmas for all.
