Fool Me Twice at Christmas by Camilla Isley

adventurous challenging emotional funny hopeful reflective medium-paced

4.0

Chuck and Kate are on their way home for Christmas with their families and will finally tell their parents that they've broken up after ten years of being together. Except one lie and misunderstanding leads to another and snowballs into something neither of them planned.

Did I download this book one day and read it in its entirety the next day? Yes, yes, I did.

While this story takes place at Christmas, it doesn't feel Christmas-heavy, if that makes any sense. It was more focused on Chuck and Kate and the dynamic they had with their family. It was just the book I needed to ease me into Christmas reading.

I was slightly put off by how a couple of misunderstandings escalated so quickly, but I appreciated the humor surrounding it. Chuck and Kate worried too much about what their parents would think and how they would handle the breakup, so they didn't give them enough credit. Their parents may have put some unrealistic expectations on Chuck and Kate, but they were supportive and wanted their kids to be happy.

Overall, I loved how the story tied up so nicely in the end. At the end, a bonus deleted epilogue is available by signing up for Camilla Isley's newsletter. Did this girl sign up? Yes, yes, I did.
