The irresistible shopaholic Becky Bloom is back with a mission: to make Christmas unforgettable!
Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) loves Christmas. The family gathers at her parents' house, they listen to carols, her mother pretends to have made dessert, and the neighbors come over for a glass of sherry wearing hideous Christmas sweaters... At least now, with the internet, things are easier. Every website has sales. Plus, if you spend over a certain amount, you even get free shipping! And, at this time of year, the shop windows are sparkling, inviting, and full of discounts!
But things will be a little different this year... Unable to resist the lure of craft beer and avocado spread, Becky's parents end up moving to Shoreditch, a super trendy neighborhood, and ask their daughter to host Christmas lunch for the first time. Deal. After all, what could go wrong?
Becky is perfectly capable of organizing a wonderful lunch, isn't she? But she has to meet some very specific demands, like providing a vegan turkey for her sister, a perfect gift for Luke (she just needs to find a way into an exclusive men's club), and a treat for her daughter Minnie (if she can figure out what the little girl really wants). Oh, and then there's her ex-boyfriend who showed up out of nowhere, full of ulterior motives, and with his new, controlling girlfriend.
But Becky will pull it off. Will she? Becky Bloom's Christmas raves are guaranteed fun.
