Can life be like a made-for-TV Christmas movie?
Mally Allister prides herself on being nice and predictable, just like the trope-filled festive films she turns to for comfort every winter.
But when she faces the prospect of spending Christmas alone in her London flat, Mally is sent on a writing assignment to try to recreate the cheesy Christmas movie experience in her unremarkable British hometown.
With the help of familiar faces from her formative years, including her teenage crush Tom, Mally starts ticking off the classic holiday romance movie tropes in unexpected ways.
But can real life ever live up to the magical movie experience?
A gorgeously warm, engaging festive romcom perfect for fans of Catherine Walsh and Josie Silver.
