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?

My Review
Gwen is very contented with her life until she found out that her boyfriend cheated on her and she had to move out of this house and due to her frustration with one of her client, she was asked to take on leave. Gwen love Christmas and unlike before, Gwen doesn’t look forward to it. When Gwen woke up after a disastrous Christmas Day, she found herself relive the day again and again. Through each day, she learnt a lot about herself and her family.
This book is about Groundhog Day adventure filled with family drama. It is a deep and meaningful story about Gwen trying to break the spell and along the way discover the meaning of happiness and what life really is all about. Overall, this is a sweet and read to me that offered wisdom to us as the reader.
