This was a cute Christmas romance that followed a friend group that chose to swap Christmas with each other. Lucy has always wanted a white Christmas, so she goes to Colorado and spends time with Jules' family. Jules has always wanted to have a warmer Christmas, so she goes to Australia to spend time with Chloe's other best friend. Chloe goes to London to spend Christmas with Lucy's family because she wants a true small town Christmas experience.

While on their holiday's, each woman finds love in unexpected ways. They keep in touch the entire time and fill each other in on their adventures. It was a good time, but obviously super insta-lovey for all of the characters. But, each woman finds what they were missing in their lives at the time as well.

LOVED IT ❤️ Three amazing Christmas locations around the world, three adorable romances and it all gets tied up with a bow at the end. I definitely plan to read more from this author!

Thanks to One More Chapter & NetGalley for the DRC in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a sweet & enjoyable read! I loved Lucy, Chloe & Jules and their friendship. I thought each story was well-written and suited each of them. I speed through this, wanting to know what happened to them & their Christmas romances! This is also the first story I've read with a summer Christmas & now I need more!

Super cute. ‘The Holiday’ plus Australia. And adding Australia makes everything better right?

Last of the holiday books from the library. It was like The Holiday with 3 sets of couples. It was a nice distraction for a stressful week.

Cute, light; very rom-com but also well written. This is definitely fluffy, feel good chick lit, predictable and a bit over the top happily ever after. But it's also good, keeps you reading and smiling and laughing and is a great easy Christmas read! It actually made.me want to look into her other books. Also, very PG romance, no real open door scenes ever, no language. Very sweet.
