I think that problems I had with this book are that a) I'm not a mother of small children, b) I've never heard of Mammy Banter, c) I don't usually enjoy this "all girls together, lets get drunk and eat cake" style and d) I'm not mad about Christmas the way I should be. All in all, despite some things that had me almost stop reading, I am glad I continued because in the end I really had fun reading it and I was just rooting for Tara and I just love the Christmas vibes~ I cannot wait for the next book, well, I am hoping there will be more!

What I loved most about this book, was the fact that I could totally relate to some of the stresses and strains we, as mothers, face while trying to create a perfect Christmas for our loved ones. When in reality, all that really matters is that you have each other, that’s where all your perfects are truly found. 🥰 Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas in 3-D (2006)". Box Office Mojo .

Having been heavily pregnant myself before Christmas and with other children at home, I totally felt her anguish, mental and physical stress and her determination as a mother to pull off the perfect family Christmas.

Then there is Gemma who I couldn’t get a read on any time. Sometimes she was ubersweet, especially to her brothers, but other times she was just vile, and it just felt way worse than normal teen-stuff. Oh tara , it’s impossible not to feel for our leading lady. You almost just want to give her a hug and tell her to not overthink, to relax but with her life in hectic mayhem you can equally see why she’s got to this point.Diaz, Eric (March 9, 2021).
