The Break Up Before Christmas

 

The Break Up Before Christmas

 by Charlotte Barnes

Review: 

If you are looking for a feel good read to get you through the changing weather then this is the book you need. 

I love how the characters are relatable and the journey Dotty takes just made me love her even more. 

I think perhaps Dotty’s mum was my favourite character of all. A strong woman who gets what she wants for her daughters best by any means possible. 

This isn’t an overly Christmas book so if you’re not sure about the festive theme then don’t let it put you off. 

The book was a gentle read that flowed easily. The use of the letters to break up chapters was a really lovely layout feature and framed the plot well. 

Blurb: 

This holiday season, love is going off-script.

Celebrated advice columnist ‘Dear Dotty’ Ellison has made a name for herself by solving everyone else’s problems.

But her life is upended when she unknowingly advises her girlfriend of ten years to break up with her. Through her own advice column.

Newly single, Dotty realises her life behind the picture-perfect brand wasn’t as flawless as she thought. Determined to rediscover who she really is, she decides it’s time to learn how to take her own advice. She begins writing letters to herself through her column.

But everything she thought she’d learned through her journey of self-discovery is thrown into question when she meets the gorgeous Alia at a cooking class.

Now, with Christmas approaching, will she discover that love and life aren’t something you can write, edit or schedule?
