✨ 'Perfect for fans of Emily Henry and all things Bridget Jones. I loved this book!' JENNY BAYLISS ✨
A former child star learns that holiday magic can come from a change in perspective in this charming and hilarious holiday rom-com, perfect for fans of Love, Actually and The Holiday.
✨ A little holiday magic can change everything . . . ✨
Charlotte hates the holidays. As a former child actress, she starred in a Christmas movie, whose fans won't let her move on. When a piece revealing that her reluctance nixed plans for a reboot, she flees to London to spend the festive season with her sister. 🎄
But the ghosts of Christmas past follow her when she visits Eden Priory, one of the filming locations. When she's accidentally left behind, she's forced to accept a ride back to London from Graham, the son of the owners. Their family business - and the funds to keep their historic house running - relies on holiday cheer, and Graham knows seasons greetings from a certain star would bring in more visitors. 🎄
Now an illustrator, Charlotte accepts a commission illustrating iconic holiday movie scenes in London and its environs for Eden Priory, with Graham offering to escort her. But as Charlotte's chaotic family holiday goes awry, she begins spending more time with Graham. Charlotte may not love a Christmas romance . . . but what if she has one of her own? 🎄
'Christmas Is All Around is everything I want in a Christmas romcom . . . Martha Waters, never stop writing books just for me' SARAH HOGLE ✨
'Simultaneously a hilarious send-up and a delightful homage to Christmas romances . . . had me laughing, swooning, and rooting for Charlotte' ALISON COCHRUN ✨
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Waters (To Woo and to Wed) sets her latest endearing meet-cute at a whimsical Christmas celebration in the English countryside. Artist Charlotte Lane was once a child star, appearing in exactly one film, the iconic Christmas, Truly, and the infamy it brought has led her to despise all things Christmas. Now, word's gotten out that Charlotte scuttled a sequel, and fans are pissed. She heads to the U.K. early for her yearly visit with her sister, Ava, and Ava's Christmas-loving in-laws. Dragged along on an outing to the countryside, Charlotte unceremoniously meets accountant Graham Calloway as he's changing out of a reindeer costume at his family's estate, Eden Priory. Charlotte is startled to realize the estate appeared in Christmas, Truly, and that the Calloways rely on the connection to draw in tourists. She's ready to keep her distance—until Graham commissions her to create a series of drawings based on famous Christmas films for their gift shop. She needs the money, so she can't refuse. Before she knows it, Charlotte's living a life straight out of the holiday rom-coms she says she hates. Waters keeps things lighthearted, quirky, and, above all Christmassy. This sweet holiday treat wouldn't feel out of place on the Hallmark channel.
