Publisher's summary

Marlo is a living her best life in sunny Sydney and avoiding thinking about her past at all costs. Avoiding thinking about the quaint village life she left behind in Britain. Avoiding thinking about that fateful Christmas Day.

When Marlo is unceremoniously ghosted by her part-time lover, she decides she’ll need to avoid the whole Christmas season. That is actually pretty easy in this country, because it’s so hot and so far away from anything that means Christmas to her. But Marlo’s flatmate Alex is determined to lift her out of her grinch slump and convince her that Christmas Down Under may be unfamiliar, but exactly what she needs to start her life on a new course. Alex, with his calm order and terrible Dad jokes. Alex, with his sparkling Christmas cocktails, his chiseled jaw and washboard abs. Alex, who’s going to turn Marlo’s Christmas wish list upside down.

Lovely! Fun!

Beautifully narrated, sweet story, loved the characters and their real life troubles, handled like actual adults. Free reads are sometimes low quality, but this one is a WIN

Super sweet read. I love that this author keeps it pretty clean as well. You’ll find yourself a bit giddy as the romance continues to bud. also, the voice actor did an amazing job with the myriad of accents!
