So when her best friend insists she signs up to the Twelve Dates of Christmas, a brand new dating app service, she doesn’t need too much persuading. Twelve perfect festive dates with the area’s most eligible men – who could say no? Amongst the twinkling lights and falling snow, over hot chocolates and glasses of red wine, romance is easy to find. But with each date, Kate learns more about the men, and even more about herself. As the big day approaches, Kate’s left wondering – is it really the season for true love, or will this Christmas be the coldest yet?

Thoughts

An interesting idea this one, a singleton takes on the festive challenge that a dating agency proposes - twelve dates with twelve different guys leading up to Christmas, in the hopes of finding The One. I really enjoyed the inventiveness of the dates, the variety of characters that it introduced and how we eventually wound round to the end result - of course the real key to our hero’s hear twas much closer to home. Cracking read!
