Olive Brewster is a scaredy cat. She doesn’t do new or risky. She’s happy enough with her job at the local market, it’s cool that she has no boyfriend to fret over, she even likes that she still lives in her childhood home. No drama, no fuss, no problems. Everything is fine. Super duper fine.

Except … Olive’s best friend in the world​, Birdie, is dying.

Birdie has one final wish. She wants to track down her first love, Chuck, and because she’s stuck in the hospital she needs Olive’s help to do it. But there’s a teeny problem: Chuck is somewhere in New York and Olive has never even left her home town, let alone roamed the crazy streets of Manhattan.

As if the big city isn’t scary enough, Olive has to contend with Seth, a cocky comedy TV writer who thinks she’s a joke; Anders, a bored socialite who’s taken a shine to her; and the fact that no matter how hard she tries to track down Chuck, he doesn’t seem to want to be found.

Can Olive learn to overcome her fears, abandon her old safe routine and fulfil her best friend’s last wish? It’s going to take extra bravery, one badass attitude and a whole lot of big sexy love to make this happen …

The top three reasons why I do not like Christmas are as follows:

1. It’s super cheesy

2. Everyone drinks boiled red wine that tastes like air freshener and pretends they enjoy it

3. Last year the man I was in love with decided that Christmas Day was a perfectly decent time to reveal that he did not feel the same way about me

So you can see why, on Christmas Eve, it’s totally reasonable for me to just want to get home from work as soon as possible, close the curtains, eat my weight in noodles and watch horror movies until the whole thing is over.

My boss, Marcy, has other ideas. Her son Adam broke his leg ice-skating and now she needs me to accompany him on his last minute Christmas errands around Notting Hill where we live. It wouldn’t be half as bad if Adam wasn’t the most irritatingly confident, annoyingly enthusiastic Christmas-giddy man I’ve ever encountered. And, well, a whole lot sexier than I expected he’d be…

Transforming Jess from trashy to tasteful will be no easy feat, and when Leo starts falling for Jess’s newfound charms, what started out as a way to make some cash suddenly becomes a whole lot more complicated …

Bess McKinley absolutely loves living in Notting Hill. Ever since she saw the movie as a teenager it’s been her dream to make a life for herself in London’s most charming neighbourhood.

But when she loses her job as a personal trainer and her creepy landlord kicks her out, Bess is worried she’ll have to move back in with her dad and work at the family carpet shop for the rest of her life.

That’s why, when popular YouTuber Henry Byron mistakes Bess for the mysterious woman who saved his life a few weeks earlier, she doesn’t correct him.

Life in Notting Hill seems to be looking up at last, but when Henry makes a YouTube video about Bess being his valiant rescuer, her little white lie starts to get epically out of hand…
