At thirty, Claudia's life is stale and the romance with long-term boyfriend, Seth, has disappeared. Determined to inject some festive spark back into their love life, Claudia and Seth go on their first date in a very long time. But when the night ends in disaster, Claudia suddenly finds herself facing life - and Christmas - alone.
Life alone is exciting, scary and full of soon-forgotten exercise regimes and ill-advised attempts at crafting sexy underwear. It's also filling up with dates, surprisingly. With best friends Penny and Nick at her side, a surplus of festive markets, mulled wine and Christmas tunes, Claudia attempts to face all this change with gusto. One thing's for certain: this year, Christmas is going to be very different . . .
This is the story of Claudia and her twelve dates of Christmas. Hilarious, uplifting and romantic, it's a story about losing love, finding love, and discovering what's been there all along. Expect Christmas sparkle, butterflies-in-your-stomach romance and a lot of very funny moments in The Twelve Dates of Christmas.

Thank you to Sphere for my copy of this book via Netgalley. I love a Christmas romance and I am a sucker for a pretty cover so I just had to read this book.
Our MC is Claudia. Claudia is a girl we can all relate to. She’s in a relationship that isn’t right for her, she’s in a job she enjoyed but it’s not her dream. Essentially Claudia is stuck in a rut. Over the course of the book, we see Claudia take a few chances and go on some adventures. I liked this side of Claudia. She’s fun and free.
Claudia is best friends with Penny and Nick. Claudia is lucky to have such good friends. I loved both of these characters I would love to be friends with them myself.
I loved the 12 different dates. I loved how the book was split up and how each date location is the chapter title. I love things like this it just adds a little bit of uniqueness to the story.
I really enjoyed Lisa’s writing style and I am excited to read more of her books.
