The Twelve Dates of Christmas

'Tis the season for finding romance in this hilarious and uplifting holiday read

When it comes to relationships, thirty-four-year-old Kate Turner is ready to say "Bah, humbug." The sleepy town of Blexford, England, isn't exactly brimming with prospects, and anyway, Kate's found fulfillment in her career as a designer, and in her delicious side job baking for her old friend Matt's neighborhood café. But then her best friend signs her up for a dating agency that promises to help singles find love before the holidays. Twenty-three days until Christmas. Twelve dates with twelve different men. The odds must finally be in her favor . . . right?

Yet with each new date more disastrous than the one before--and the whole town keeping tabs on her misadventures--Kate must remind herself that sometimes love, like mistletoe, shows up where it's least expected. And maybe, just maybe, it's been right under her nose all along. . . .

This book made me laugh often, but the romance didn’t capture me.

I would say my streak has gone back to reading mediocre books.

This book felt like more of a dear diary book, the friends-lovers trope game was strong and our female lead was someone who loved Christmas as well.

I skimmed through too many pages and I realised there is TMI about the rest of the people around her and Matt, which I found unnecessary. Although the plot does say that "the whole town keeping tabs on her misadventures" so I Guess I signed up for this.

The dates were interesting, some were not an exact match but some could have. Some should not have.

Overall a really quick read, but it only got interesting after chapter 3 to me and then it sizzled down to boring again.

It's Christmas Eve today and hopefully I start on a better book! ❄️
