DRIVING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS
by Joanna Bolouri (£7.99, Quercus, PB)
It would be a Christmas to remember – for all the wrong reasons. For the past 10 years, Kate and Ed have driven home while blasting out Christmas hits and cosying up in silly jumpers. But this year, an icy silence fills the car. Although their relationship is over after a fiery argument, the pair decide to see their families together one last time. Between the pointed comments of their relatives, tantrums over turkey and the appearance of an old flame, can Kate and Ed make it through three Christmas celebrations? Family festivities are fraught in this hilarious romance.
