Book Review Say Yes To Everything #bookreview #Christmas #Read @northwood_e

Synopsis

Kate Massey has lost her Christmas spirit.

No mince pies, mistletoe, and merriment for her this year! She’s back at home, living with her parents, with no money, no job, and no man.

Alison, her private detective sister, believes Kate needs to get out of the house and broaden her horizons, so she challenges her to a deal. If Kate agrees to wear a hidden microphone and says yes to everything, until New Year’s Day, Alison will set her up in a flat and get her out from under her parents’ feet.

Kate agrees, and Alison drags her to the job centre. Once there, she encounters Mike, a grumpy civil servant and ex-classmate who is pricklier than a sprig of holly and holds a grudge worse than the Grinch. He gets her a job interview to be a pixie in the local shopping centre, hoping to reap his revenge.

As the countdown to the holiday season continues, Mike expects her to fail. But Kate’s new job and her obligation to say yes to everything opens more doors than she could ever imagine, even though not all of them are positive.

Can Kate keep her promise to her sister, step out of her comfort zone, find herself and fall in love, or will life have other plans for Kat Massey the cute Christmas pixie?

Say Yes To Everything – Book Review

This is such a lovely read to enjoy in the lead up to Christmas. It’s funny, cute and a sweet romance too, with family filled moments celebrating the kind values of Christmas.

I loved the two sisters, the elder super confident Alison and Kate who is less so. The pact – for Kate to say yes to everything, perhaps turn her life around, and move on after the melancholy caused by her broken relationship. Of course, saying yes to everything leads to a lot of fun, crazy moments and character development too!

The addition of Mike’s vengeful storyline and the neighbour Arthur also added another layer to the tale which I really enjoyed. As did the mystery about Kate’s father’s long walks!

The revelations at the end were well devised and entertaining.

So readers, expect Santa’s grotto, and the inhabitants of, i.e., Kate the Christmas pixie, the grinch, etc, what we hanker for at Christmas. So bring it on!

A fun seasonal read I can recommend from an author who I really enjoy – 5 stars.

Thank you to the author Michele E. Northwood Author for an ARC copy which I’m pleased to share my views of.

Author Bio

Michele has a First Class Honours Degree in Modern languages, (English and Spanish) and also studied for a Master’s in Highschool Education. She currently lives in Spain, where she runs an English Teaching Academy. Michele shares her home with her Spanish husband, her dog, two cats and two terrapins. (Yes, she’s slowly building an ark!)

In her past life …. (okay, when she was a young woman,) she worked as a professional dancer, magician and fire-eater who toured the world for over twenty years in theatre, musicals and circus. During that time, she was in the Guinness Book of Records for being part of the world´s largest Human mobile, and worked as a contortionist with the Circus of Horrors as their first “Girl inside a bottle”. She has rubbed shoulders with Sting, Chris de Burg, David Copperfield, Claudia Schiffer and Maurice Gibb from the Bee Gees. She has also worked as a knife throwers assistant, assisted a midget in his balancing act, and took part in the finale of a Scorpions concert.

The author’s debut novel, ‘Fishnets in the Far East: A Dancer’s Diary in Korea’ has won two literary competitions. The sequel: “Fishnets and Fire-eating” has just been released, and the third book in the Fishnet series is due out soon.

Michele is concerned about climate change, the abundance of plastic pollution, and hates the way man-unkind treats the other species that inhabit this beautiful planet we are slowly destroying. Michele loves living in the countryside with views of the sea and likes nothing better than to sit on the terrace at the end of the day, look up at the stars and contemplate.
