After learning of her friends decision to dump her boyfriend to date another man Molly is shocked to learn she is seated next to the soon to be ex and on a plane there is nowhere to go.įast forward and they have spent the last ten years making their way from Chicago to Ireland to get back home to family in time for the festive period. One is full on into Christmas including the silly jumpers and the other, while not a complete Grinch isn’t far off. An unlikely pairing that you just did not see coming. Molly and Andrew are like Ryan Reynolds and Wrexham Football club. What she doesn’t know is that, as the snow falls over the city and over the heads of two friends who are sure they’re not meant to be together, the universe might just have a plan of its own… And-as long as the highly-specific combination of taxis, planes, boats, and trains all run on time-it can’t possibly go wrong. And in time for his mam’s famous Christmas dinner.

So, instead of doing the sane thing and just celebrating the holidays together in America, she does the stupid thing. Molly isn’t that bothered by Christmas, but-in yet another way they’re total opposites-Andrew is a full-on fanatic for the festive season and she knows how much getting back to Ireland means to him. In spite of all the ways the two friends are different, it’s the holiday tradition neither of them has ever wanted to give up.

But once a year, for the last ten years, Molly has spent seven hours and fifteen minutes sitting next to Andrew on the last flight before Christmas from Chicago to Dublin, drinking terrible airplane wine and catching up on each other’s lives.

Nothing romantic has ever happened between them: they’re friends and that’s all. Molly and Andrew are just trying to get home to Ireland for the holidays, when a freak snowstorm grounds their flight. She’s meant to be catching flights, not catching feelings… Thank you to Sarah for my place on the tour and ebook via NetGalley.
