I loved the Dickensian-esque feel of this book. The magic of Christmas, of pausing, of taking a moment… this was all captured in a perfectly modern and heartwarming contemporary drama but with heavy emotional themes. This is not necessarily a christmas/festive read.
It was a surprisingly emotional journey to be honest, as I thought with the cover and title it would be a simply cosy (and beautiful) festive read. It was, in areas, but the messaging, the reality and the frankness of it all was so much more. It works both as a winter read and as a book to read at other times of the year too. It’s very atmospheric and worked well reading against an Autumnal backdrop.
Groundhog Day meets A Christmas Carol and they spectacularly go together in One Christmas Morning.

About the Book
They say you know when you meet the one.
The moment Eva locked eyes with James over a library bookshelf, she knew she’d found her soulmate. Over ten years, they fell in love, got married and made plans to start a family. Until everything changed one Christmas three years ago, and they’ve been drifting apart ever since.
Eva hopes a friend’s Christmas party at an old manor house in Cornwall will give them the chance to reconnect… but the last thing she expects is to wake up on Christmas morning in the body of a different guest. As Eva’s forced to keep reliving Christmas Day from the perspectives of those closest to her, she realises just how much her life has fallen off track.
But can Eva break the cycle and save her future with James, before it’s too late?
