Description
Two choices. One destiny. A love story you'll never forget...
December 2005. On a cold winter's night, nineteen-year-old Ben is having the time of his life at university. He's about to fall in love for the very first time...but will it be with new girl Daphne, or his best mate Alice?
December 2020. Life hasn't quite turned out how Ben had planned and he's stuck in a rut. He can't help but think back to that fateful night fifteen years earlier, and wonder what might have been...
He never imagines he will get to find out - but when Ben is gifted with a second chance to make the biggest decision of his life, will he finally find the courage to follow his heart?
A magical, heartwarming romance and reimagining of A Christmas Carol brimming with feeling and hope. The perfect read for fans of Sophie Cousens, Josie Silver and David Nicholls to curl up with this autumn.
