'Tis The Damn Season by Fiona Gibson

This year, their families can deck the bloody halls themselves...

About the Book:

Old friends Shelley, Lena and Pearl have reached their limit with the festive preparation that has always fallen to them, and five days before Christmas, they’ve booked a mini break… without their families. Up until Christmas Eve, they’ll be sipping prosecco in the Highlands while their kids wrap bacon around 100 chipolatas and their partners brave the supermarkets.

It’s exactly what they need… until they’re snowed in. Facing the prospect of Christmas 500 miles from home, each woman is forced to confront her real reasons for needing to escape: the fiance with the obnoxious family; the son’s new girlfriend who is taking over their home; the family who take their mother for granted all year round…

Will the friends make it home before Christmas day? And if they do, can they really go back to their old lives?

This Christmas, forget Elf on the Shelf, get ready for Mums on the Run in the hilarious and heartwarming new novel from Fiona Gibson.

My Review:

'Tis the Damn Season is a wonderful book, and a perfect holiday read. Three longtime friends are at the end of their patience with husbands, children, in-laws. Each one is on their last nerve. So, five days before Christmas, the trio take a trip to Scotland and let their families sort the holidays out on their own. This little vacation was exactly what each woman needed.

I loved 'Tis the Damn Season. Written about women who are taken advantage of, overwhelmed, and frustrated with those they live with, all for different reasons, Shelly, Lena, and Pearl could be any number of women I know, including myself. The author wrote realistic family dynamics, characters with depth and emotion, and relatable situations. I couldn't help but immerse myself in this story.

This book is unputdownable. Once you start, be prepared to get nothing done as you follow Shelly, Lena, and Pearl in an adventure that is life-changing and just was the doctor ordered. The story is filled with drama, challenges, humor, twists and turns, surprises, friendship, and love. I loved the writing style, character development, and world-building. I was completely immersed in the lives of these three strong women and am glad I had the opportunity to get to meet them.

I was provided a copy of this book.
