It Won’t be Christmas Without You by Beth Reekles
Blurb
Eloise, a self-confessed Christmas obsessive, can’t wait for the big day. Devoted to her Michael Bublé playlist, she’s organising the school nativity play and even her gorgeous Grinch of a neighbour, James, can’t get her down.
Her workaholic twin sister, Cara, on the other hand, plans to work over the holiday – and figure out what secrets her seemingly-perfect boyfriend George might be keeping from her.
The sisters used to be close but since Cara moved to London, everything’s been different. Only, Eloise isn’t giving up just yet, and with a white Christmas on the cards, Cara can’t fail to be moved by the magic of the season … can she?

Review
Cara, with her workaholic attitude struck a bit of a chord with me. I've been known to suffer from that particular affliction, too.
However, the story is about more than missing Christmas - it's about the choices we make, the importance we put on special occasions and the love of our families. This is a journey of discovering what is really important.
