Dog poo in a hood. Lidl gossip gone wild. A Christmas dinner that ends in disaster.
For Marianne, this Christmas is about to get messy...
 
Marianne is broke, frazzled, and one mouldy mince pie away from a breakdown. Between her two chaotic kids, a husband she's not sure she can trust, and the dreaded in-laws descending for Christmas dinner, she's barely holding it together.
 
Enter her two friends:
 

• Lottie - loud, embarrassing, and utterly unfiltered, with a knack for making bad situations worse.
• Patsy - wealthy, polished, and just a little bit bitchy... but even she can't keep control of this holiday season.

 
 
From apple-preserving disasters (don't ask about the crotchless pants) to goats invading the kitchen, nothing goes to plan. And when an inappropriate Christmas gift gets unwrapped in front of the family, Marianne is certain the festive season is ruined forever.
 
But maybe, with a little help from her friends (and a lot of mulled wine), this might just be the Christmas she remembers for all the right reasons...
