'Tis the Damn Season
This year, their families can deck the bloody halls themselves...
Old friends Shelley, Lena and Pearl have reached their limit with the festive preparation that has always fallen to them, and five days before Christmas, they've booked a mini break... without their families. Up until Christmas Eve, they'll be sipping prosecco in the Highlands while their kids wrap bacon around 100 chipolatas and their partners brave the supermarkets.
It's exactly what they need... until they're snowed in. Facing the prospect of Christmas 500 miles from home, each woman is forced to confront her real reasons for needing to escape: the fiance with the obnoxious family; the son's new girlfriend who is taking over their home; the family who take their mother for granted all year round...
Will the friends make it home before Christmas day? And if they do, can they really go back to their old lives?
So forget Elf on the Shelf and get ready for Mums on the Run in the hilarious and heartwarming new novel from Fiona Gibson.

Thank you to Boldwood Books and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book.
There is no pepper rating of this one. If you put together Taylor Swift and hallmark christmas movie, this is for you. The endearing tale of coming home to someone from your past and thinking what if you do come back together one more time and would it hurt.
When a scandal occurs making our girl come home to center herself, her high school love reappears and the old flame starts igniting.
The story is very sweet, gripping tale. This one is for the Swifities. I would recommend this one for a palate cleanser as it's wholesome and a growing up story of once true love.
