About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Chloe can't wait for Christmas...to be over! Her son Ruben is staying with his dad this year and Chloe is planning to ignore the holidays all together. Her only nod to the season is the advent calendar Ruben left her, to help count down the days till he's home again.

But then an heir hunter gets in touch, telling her there's a plot of land in Canada she may be entitled to. Surely, it's a scam. Or could it be just the escape she needs right now? They're offering to pay for her flights...and Ruben's latest note in the advent calendar tells her to 'say yes!'

Suddenly, Chloe's new countdown to Christmas involves a log cabin in the middle of a snowy forest, a community that's worried for its future, a gruff lumberjack who gives her butterflies and a lot of pancakes with maple syrup...

This Christmas is full of surprises!

Syrupy sweet, nice story. Rather predictable (aren’t they all?) and main character was a little annoying with the soul-searching. That said this was likeable and I enjoyed it.

Overall this was a fantastic story.
I affectionately refer to stories like this as "fluff". It was so Winter-y.
There were some parts where affections and feelings seemed to progress out of nowhere.
On the whole though it was my second book in a row where it dares you to say "yes" more often and that can only be good.
The narrator was so talented with her accents and voices too, it really does help the story along as you forget it's only 1 person to whom you are to listening.

Ahh maple syrup and snow...
