'PURE, IRRESISTIBLE MAGIC FROM START TO FINISH' EMILY HENRY
Love Actually meets Groundhog Day in this magical holiday romance from the New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners💕 ⛄🧣
It's the most wonderful time of the year . . . but not for Maelyn Jones. She's living with her parents, hates her going-nowhere job and has just made a romantic error of epic proportions.
But perhaps worst of all, this is the last Christmas Mae will be at her favourite place in the world - the snowy cabin where she and her family have spent every holiday since she was born. Mentally melting down as she drives away for the final time, Mae throws out what she thinks is a simple plea to the universe: Please. Show me what will make me happy.
The next thing she knows, everything goes black . . . When Mae gasps awake, she's back on an airplane, beginning the same holiday all over again. With one hilarious disaster after another sending her back to the plane, Mae must figure out how to break free of the strange time loop - and finally get her true love under the mistletoe.
Jam-packed with yuletide cheer, an unforgettable cast of characters, and Christina Lauren's trademark hilarious hijinks, this swoon-worthy romantic read will make you believe in the power of wishes and the magic of the holidays.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A desperate plea begets a reality-bending Christmas wish in this delightful festive romcom from co-authors Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings—the writing duo behind BookTok hit The Unhoneymooners. After squandering her last-ever trip to the snowy cabin that her family and a group of friends have converged upon every year, Mae begs the universe for a proper shot at happiness. Suddenly, she’s stuck in a time loop, reliving the same holiday scenario until she finally gets the right person under the mistletoe. Will it be her long-time crush Andrew or his brother Theo, with whom she had a rather unexpected hook-up? This is a joyous ode to securing the ending you deserve—no matter how many chaotic attempts it may take.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Pseudonymous writing duo Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings (The Honey-Don't List) put a fantastical twist on holiday cheer in this hilarious and heartwarming rom-com. Mae Jones is 26, single, and unhappy with her boring accounting job, but excited for her annual Christmas trip to a cabin in Park City, Utah, with her friends and family. Her vacation is ruined, though, by the announcement of the eminent sale of the cabin, threatening years of tradition. Mae finishes the trip despondent only to be hit by a car and wake up back at the beginning of the holiday getaway. This Groundhog Day style time loop repeats until Mae can figure out how to save the season, hold onto the cabin, and finally act on her yearslong crush on Andrew Hollis, the son of family friends. The messy, slow-burn romance between Andrew and Mae is delectable, but just as engrossing are the subplots devoted to Mae's complex relationships with her vividly rendered friends and family, and her winding path toward self actualization as she realizes which traditions are worth holding onto. The result is a perfect Christmas treat.
Customer Reviews
Would wait for the price to come down...
As much as I love Christina Lauren books, I must say the latest releases haven’t been as nearly as good as their previous ones. The huge price increase unfortunately isn’t really worth it.
