by Lilac Mills

268 pages
Chapter length:  short
3 out of 5 stars


According to the publisher, "Things can't get worse for Daisy Jones... can they?
Christmas is meant to be the happiest time of year, so why is absolutely everything going wrong for Daisy? Reeling from a bad breakup, moving back in with her parents, and hounded by trouble at work, she really shouldn’t be surprised when things go from bad to worse..and she ends up in A&E! (*British English for Emergency Room*)
Her great-grandmother persuaded her to plant a silver sixpence in the Christmas pudding for luck, but choking on the coin isn’t the ‘change’ she’d wished for. Yet, when dashing Dr Noah Hartley saves the day, things finally start to look up. With Christmas Day just around the corner, Daisy’s determined to make her own luck...and hopefully bag herself a dishy doc in the process!"
2018 is quickly coming to a close, but I wanted to fit in one holiday book before I wrapped up my reading for the year, and A Very Lucky Christmas was perfect!  I was looking for something festive, and I got a book that reads exactly like a Hallmark Christmas movie!
This is not a deep piece of literature, but I don't intend that to be a criticism.  This book is easy to read, light-hearted, and full of zany characters getting into silly situations, and that's what's so likable about it.  Would I enjoy this book year-round or re-read it next year?  Probably not, but it was a very enjoyable way to get in the Christmas spirit.
On that note, Blonde Bibliotaph will be taking a break until 2019 to relax and enjoy the holidays.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The chosen one. She would do anything for Father. That's why she takes care of all her little sisters. That's why she runs end-of-the-world drills. That's why she never asks questions.
