The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Party Crasher and
Love Your Life returns with a festive Shopaholic adventure filled with
holiday cheer and unexpected gifts.
"Sophie Kinsella keeps her finger on the cultural pulse, while leaving
me giddy with laughter."--Jojo Moyes, author of The Giver of Stars and
The Last Letter from Your Lover
'Tis the season for change and Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) is
embracing it, returning 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 tape 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 could possibly go wrong?
Becky's sister demands a vegan turkey, her husband insists that 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 comfort and joy to Christmas after all.
