Poppy loves Christmas and always goes all out to make this magical time of the year extra special for her boyfriend George. But George is strangely not in the Yuletide spirit this year. As Poppy wrestles him into her Christmas jumper built for two for a holiday snapshot, she finds out why.
He’s leaving her. With only twelve days to spend together until Christmas.
Poppy is heartbroken. George is the love of her life, and what would Christmas be without kisses under the mistletoe, his mum’s delicious homemade gingerbread or their super-competitive games of Pictionary?
She’s determined to win George back. So, anxious to prove to him she can be spontaneous, she signs up as a Christmas volunteer at the local community centre. What she doesn’t know is that there’s a festive surprise coming her way…
As Poppy throws herself into her new role – mulling vats of hot cider and hanging fairy lights off everything within reach – she discovers an inner strength she never knew she had. And there’s also Theo. Her new boss. Grumpy and opinionated, he’s everything she doesn’t want.
But as the snow starts to fall, she begins to notice other things about him – like his twinkling green eyes, how he makes her laugh, and how much he cares about the people he’s trying to help.
As the twelfth day approaches, Poppy might be about to discover that the most perfect Christmas might be the one that she didn’t plan at all…
Fans of One Day in December, Beth O’Leary and Mhairi McFarlane will be completely enchanted by this witty and warm festive story about friendship, love and finding yourself.
First, I want to thank Elizabeth Neep, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
WOW!! Elizabeth Neep Twelve Days to Save Christmas is one of your best books you have ever written! Not only was I cracking up laughing but it had so much depth to it as well. I don’t know what it was about this book but I just had to turn on the Christmas music while I read it. Just please don’t jinx the WNY snow!!
Thanks to Elizabeth I can’t get the Twelve Days of Christmas out of my head LOL!!!
As always your cartoonish cover is totally adorable! It was one of the aspects that lured me into the book!
There were so many things I absolutely adored in this book! One thing I liked was how it started out light and comical and as it went on the book got deeper into the storyline.
The cast of characters were very down to earth and believable. I loved that they seemed like a tight knit group of friends.
I loved how Poppy went out of her comfort zone and tried things she never would have before. However, I didn’t agree why felt like she needed to do those things.
Elizabeth used her amazing cast of characters to show us some very important lessons about life in Twelve Days to Save Christmas.
The nicknames in this book for eachother were the cutest ever!!
