Waterstones Says

An irresistible festive spin on Groundhog Day, Kelk's witty and warm-hearted winter wonder finds fed-up Gwen forced to endure Christmas Day over and over again until she makes some unexpected discoveries about herself and others.

Ever wished it could be Christmas every day? Wish again...

Newly single lawyer Gwen Baker is hoping that a family Christmas - countryside, a mountain of food and festive films - will salve the sting of her career hanging by a thread and her heart being trampled on. Because everyone else has their life sorted: even Dev, her boy-next-door crush, is now a tall, dark and handsome stranger with a fiancée. She can't help wishing her future was clearer.

Then Gwen wakes up to discover it's Christmas day all over again. Like Groundhog Day but with turkey. And family arguments. On repeat. As she figures out how to escape her own particular Christmas hell, Dev is the one bright spot. He might be all grown-up but underneath he's just as kind and funny as she remembers.

Maybe, just maybe, her heart can be mended after all. But how do you fall in love with someone who can't remember you from one day to the next?
