Overview

She's the Queen of Mean, until one chaotic Christmas Eve night threatens to blow her life and budget wide apart! Caroline's got frugality down to a fine art. She can make a tin of soup stretch for days, considers ""reduced to clear"" her love language, and thinks Christmas is just a daft excuse for people to throw their money away on tinsel trimmed tat. But Christmas Eve night takes a turn when her best mate, Marlene, drops in for a chat. Lovely, right? Except Marlene's been dead for seven years and she's got a message for Caroline, she will be visited by three spirits and if she doesn't pay attention, her future's looking bleaker than the contents of her fridge freezer. Caroline's convinced she's having a hallucination. Ghosts? Surely not! But as the night goes on, she starts to wonder if she might just learn something worth more than her latest discount voucher. And for someone who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing, this might be the wake-up call she didn't see coming. Perfect for fans of Anstey Harris, Dawn French and The Thursday Murder Club - A Christmas Caroline is a hilarious, heartwarming festive tale about second chances, eccentric family ties and learning that some things in life are worth the splurge. Laugh-out-loud funny, delightfully quirky, and full of Christmas cheer - this is the holiday novel you didn't know you needed.

Reviews

""A modern day Christmas Carol with a twist. Caroline is down on her luck, hates spending money and can't move very fast (due to a slowly healing back injury), With wads of money sewn into the curtains, no heating on and eating tasteless veg soup, she's a master of crimping until she gets a shock of her miserable life. With funny one-liners that make you chuckle, follow her on a journey of enlightenment, meet her handsome new fella Custard and smile."" - Heather Dixon Loved this book, true to the Dickens classic but a modern hilarious take on it, just what I needed to feel all warm and festive, can't recommend highly enough. - S J Pounder
