ABOUT THE BOOK
Harriet is facing her second Christmas on her own since her husband walked out. With little child support, she’s struggling to manage financially, not helped when daughter Sara is invited to a posh birthday party and needs a new outfit.
When Owen, a passionate environmentalist and popular blogger, overhears Harriet bemoaning her situation, he challenges her to only buy second-hand until Christmas, and Harriet accepts. What she doesn’t know is that Owen is reporting her journey anonymously to all his followers…
Though the challenge is proving successful, it’s not without its troubles. Can Harriet really keep her children and bank balance happy this way? As Owen’s feelings toward Harriet deepen, he begins to panic about the blog – how will she react when she finds her life documented online?
Foxmore’s inaugural Christmas fayre is fast approaching and will either be the toast of the town – or the downfall of their relationship.
MY REVIEW
This was a cute Christmas romance book with a lot of lessons to be learned. The book touches on how choices effect the environment and waste. Harriet really tries to be less wasteful by buying things second hand. But more than that, this book really teaches about humility, self awareness, bullying, and not to judge people so easily. I really felt for Sara. I was bullied in school for different reasons, but I could really feel for her. While she had to learn a hard lesson, I do think that she was my favorite character.
It took a bit to get to the romance part between Owen and Harriet, but once it happened, it was very sweet. I especially really enjoyed Owen with Harriet’s children. Not every man can take on and connect with children of a woman he’s seeing, and these children took to him so well, and he acted more like a dad figure to them then their real dad.
Overall, this was a very sweet book.
