For fans of The Midnight Library and One Day in December who love a dash of Dickensian magic, One Christmas Morning is a heartwarming debut novel about a woman's self-discovery, the strength found in friendship, and the promise of second chances.

Eva has spent the past three years burying herself in her work, trying to forget the heartbreaking events of the Christmas that ripped her world apart. This year, the last thing she wants is to attend her friend's weekend-long Christmas party. But at her husband James' insistence, here they are.

When Eva—overwhelmed by bittersweet memories—tries to sneak back to London in the middle of the night, she is visited by the ghost of her beloved grandmother. Gran tells Eva that if she doesn't face her fears head-on and stop shutting out her loved ones, she risks losing them all forever.

When Eva wakes on Christmas morning, she finds herself living not her own life, but that of her hardworking assistant, Diana, whose overflowing inbox isn't the only secret she's been keeping. The next day, she wakes on Christmas morning again, this time in the body of her best friend's little sister. As Eva lives the same day again and again through the perspectives of her friends, she is offered a glimpse into the lives of those she has been pushing away. With each Christmas Day comes a new lesson—and an insight into the secrets and struggles her loved ones have been hiding. To move forward, Eva must let go of the past. But is it too late to fix her future?

This was okay. It went on a little longer than I wanted. Good idea, but I got frustrated with the central character's blindness to the situation. Then when she figured it out she still wasn't finished. Finally got it together. Glad of the epilogue. Good narrator! ( )

This was a really enjoyable Christmas read covering the story of Eva who has reached a crisis point in her life, following a period of grief and hiding herself away in other things. Suddenly over a Christmas away her gran re-appears to her and this is the cue for ghostly intervention.

I felt this was a very cleverly put together book that gave the right amount of time to introducing us to Eva’s life, the ghostly interventions and what happened following this intervention. Eva, and the reader, definitely goes on a rollercoaster of emotions seeing her life crisis from different viewpoints, and there are some hard hitting punches thrown in there too. I love the plotting of the book and the characters were cleverly written so that you ended up caring about all of them.

I loved the ending to the book and some of the messages that it delivered, as well as seeing the changes in Eva, it do be aware this isn’t all sunshine and roses.

I would definitely recommend this book, and would be keen to read more books by this author. ( )

This novel presents a contemporary version of "A Christmas Carol" with a twist! Imagine reliving Christmas Day in a loop, seeing the day and its events through the eyes of different people. Eva puts all her efforts into opening her new shop, at the expense of all her relationships with friends and to the detriment of her marriage. Her driven attitude enables her to mask her true feelings and thoughts about tragic events of the past. When Eva and her husband James attend a holiday party with friends, she is forced through unusual means to confront her life as it is rapidly falling apart.

This is an intense read that is set at Christmas time, although it could have taken place at any time of the year. I found it unsettling yet compelling, with its lessons for all of us to recall the important things in our lives, and to relinquish past sorrows and cares.

I received this novel from the publisher and from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The opinions expressed here are entirely my own. ( )

Eva's life was upended on Christmas 3 years earlier, and she can't get past it. Her marriage to the love of her life, James, is crumbling, and she pours herself into her work. Her friends feel neglected, as does her husband. She doesn't know how to handle her crushing grief.
Then one Christmas morning, she wakes up over and over again in another's body, allowing her to take a look at her life and how her single-mindedness and her grief has consumed her. She begins to understand and re-evaluate things. Hopefully, this Christmas will finally allow Eva to grow and overcome her grief and move on.
A heartbreaking, but ultimately uplifting, Christmas story. ( )
