'Life-affirming, joyful and tender. Beth Moran has written the perfect Christmas story to brighten up even the darkest Winter's evening.' Zoe Folbigg, author of The Note

When Jenny inherits her estranged grandmother's cottage in Sherwood Forest, she has nothing to lose - no money, no job, no friends, no family to speak of, and zero self-respect. Things can only get better...


Her grumpy, but decidedly handsome new neighbour, Mack, has a habit of bestowing unsolicited good deeds on her. And when Jenny is welcomed into a rather unusual book club, life seems to finally be getting more interesting.


Instead of reading, the members pledge to complete individual challenges before Christmas: from finding new love, learning to bake, to completing a daredevil bucket list. Jenny can't resist joining in, and soon a year of friendship and laughter, tears and regrets unfolds in the most unexpected ways.


Warm, wise, funny and utterly uplifting, what one thing would you change in your life before Christmas comes around?
