Christmas Every Day

By: Beth Moran

Narrated by: Helen Keeley

Length: 10 hrs and 27 mins

Publisher's Summary

When Jenny inherits her estranged grandmother’s cottage in Sherwood Forest, she has nothing to lose - no money, no job, no friends, no family to speak of, and zero self-respect. Things can only get better.... 

Her grumpy but decidedly handsome new neighbour, Mack, has a habit of bestowing unsolicited good deeds on her. And when Jenny is welcomed into a rather unusual book club, life seems to finally be getting more interesting.  

Instead of reading, the members pledge to complete individual challenges before Christmas: from finding new love and learning to bake to completing a daredevil bucket list. Jenny can’t resist joining in, and soon a year of friendship and laughter, tears and regrets unfolds in the most unexpected ways. 

Warm, wise, funny and utterly uplifting. What one thing would you change in your life before Christmas comes around?

Critic Reviews

"Life-affirming, joyful and tender. Beth Moran has written the perfect Christmas story to brighten up even the darkest Winter’s evening." (Zoe Folbigg, author of The Note)

Great listen

Good story with great narration. I loved it. I like that is wasn’t super cheesy and that the characters were likable.

Surprise! This really has good characters!

This is worth a listen. Interesting people. A multi plots and some twists and turns. Quite a few laughs and a few emotional tears!
My only complaint- they should have used more readers. Too many characters and many times hard to decipher which was speaking. I thing there are 16 characters. Good enough read to write the characters down to keep them sorted out! Read it away it’s worth the time and effort!

It was really good

I liked it - the narration and descriptions were good. The story was different than what I expected. Not really Christmasy at all, but a nice story about a girl who totally changes her life after inheriting a cottage in a remote village. It was a nice listen and caught my attention; good ups & downs, believable; and some good food descriptions that make you want to get coffee & a pastry or wine and pot of chicken

Great read

this book made me laugh, cry, hope and love. very entertaining. I loved this book.

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL.. HILARIOUS AND HEARTWARMING.!

The best listen in quite some time.. It had me ROLLING in laughter,.. I bumped up the speed to 1.25,.. and her snarky repartee was even funnier.. what a gem, hope she writes more .

Christmas Ever Day

I loved this book! I could absolutely relate to the characters and the plot was terrific. I would recommend this book to a friend.

Not a Christmas story

This time of year I tend to eat up Christmas-themed novels and while this is a great bit of escapism as a book, I’m afraid I feel fairly cheated out of a Christmas theme. Extremely tenuous links to the festive period!

every word is too dramatic

after 5 chapters i am giving up for the first ever time. Listening to this is exhausting..every word is a dramatic yell. Its a shame as i think the story is probably good, but the narration is stressful.

Narrator spoils a good story

The storyline is lovely, sadly the narrator came close many times to me giving up on it, she gets way over dramatic in the style of her voice when it's completely unnecessary and it really is annoying!

excellent compelling adictive

narrated brilliantly.couldn' t stop listening. sad it's ended. would recommend. I laughed cried cringed and loved every character. will look for more books by this author.

couldn't finish it....

usually like this narrator but couldnt get in to the festive spirit with this one. returned it.

Lovely

Perfect book if you want something heart warming and gentle with a bit of drama! A book about friendship, finding yourself, and doing what’s right for you. And mostly, following your heart.

It’s like a mix of Bridget Jones, Calendar Girls and Ruth Hogan’s novels. Really lovely
