I received this book free from the author via AXP Books. It looked interesting and perhaps different from what I usually read, but I thought I'd give it a go anyway.

When I started it I wasn't sure what to make of it, but I persevered and am glad that I did. It was a funny read, the characters were real, and there were enough surprises in the plot to make me want to keep on reading it. Daisy, the main character, seems to be going through a lot of bad luck in her life, culminating in her ending up at the hospital after swallowing a sixpence that had been placed in the Christmas pudding she had eaten, which had been hidden there for good luck! The story twists and turns from there and I found myself enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would when I initially started it. If you are looking for a Christmas-themed, warm and funny story, then this is for you.
