Genre: Holiday
From The Publisher:
Sunny, Arianna and Molly are three women having three very different but equally terrible Christmases. Sunny is a newlywed with two new stepkids who want nothing to do with her; Arianna is newly divorced, living with her mom again and hates sending her daughter off to spend the holiday with her dad; for Molly, nothing is new, but her job at the post office is getting very, very old—with all the customers worrying about getting their holiday packages off in time, she doesn’t have a moment to enjoy the season herself, much less spend time with her daughter and granddaughter.
The whole Christmas season has been a bust. All that work for just one day that went by so fast, and not at all how they’d planned. But Sunny and Arianna have a wild idea: What if they extended Christmas into January? February? Saint Patrick’s Day?
Love and joy and peace on earth, or at least with their families and neighbors–Christmas all year long. What could that look like? As these three determined women chase the perfect holiday through twelve months of cooking disasters, over-the-top festivity, and lots of laughter and tears, they’ll discover perfection is way overrated.
Why I Can’t Wait To Read The Twelve Months of
I have read and enjoyed several books from this author and was attracted to this synopsis. I’m looking forward to the festivities these women come up with and appreciate a good story of friendship.

Oh I love the sound of this one! Particularly as I can identify… It’s a bit grim if, after pouring loads of thought, work and energy into the day – it doesn’t go well because a family member chooses to be particularly grouchy!!! But extending that vibe into January and February, in particular – given they are usually terribly dreary months here in the UK – sounds like a splendid idea! Thank you for sharing:))).
