I received an ARC of, The Christmas Cupid, by Jennifer Joyce. Zoey was hit by a bus, she will get a second chance at life if she can match up 6 couples by Christmas, Zoey is not doing a good job of this at all. A nice read, I enjoyed Zoey and her attempts to play cupid.

I picked up this book because it sounded like a cute Christmas book. Sadly it fell a bit flat for me. I found the book to be slow at times and didn't just find myself connecting with the characters.

I did enjoy the side characters in this book like Zoey's friend Eloise, her neighbours and coworkers, but Zoey herself felt written as simply "the quirky girl". I also despised Scott. I get that we are supposed to come to a realization that we don't like him, as Zoey does, but I think their relationship just dragged on for to long.

I think there are some people that would love this book, and I could even see loving this as a movie that I watch at Christmas time, but it just wasn't the right book for me. Thank you to NetGalley and HQ Digital for a copy of this book. All opinions are 100% mine.

If you love a good Hallmark Christmas movie, this one is for you! Cute banter throughout the book and I was invested in the characters and the "will they/won't they" storyline.

This was a fun, romantic holiday book that I flew through in one sitting! If you love a good Hallmark Christmas movie- pick this one up and you won't be disappointed.

Adorable Christmas book! Zoey is not having good luck! Her boyfriend leaves her, she gets a bad haircut, she’s forced to be head elf at work, and she’s hit by a bus. She has to go back in time and play matchmaker if she wants to survive the accident. In doing so, Zoey discovers things about herself and how to be happy. Super cute!

This is a cute Christmas book. If you are into seasonal stories and like to get cozy by the fire, you would like this book.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this eARC of 'The Christmas Cupid' by Jennifer Joyce.

I picked up 'The Christmas Cupid' due to its catchy slogan and just the whole premise. Sadly, it fell flat to me. I didnt gain attached to the plot or any of the characters. It started interesting but as it progressed, I just felt bored. Maybe some people will love this book, but it's a no from me.

A Christmas countdown to remember!
Zoey Beake is having a bad December. She’s just been dumped, she’s had an extremely dodgy haircut that even the biggest woolly hat can’t hide, and then a tragic accident – involving an elf outfit, stilts, and a red double-decker bus labelled ‘The Santa Express’ – leaves her dead.

But then Zoey is given a second chance at life. Sent back to the start of December, if she can match six couples by Christmas Eve her life will be saved. Which gives her the perfect opportunity to win her boyfriend back too…

Can Zoey find love in time for Christmas?

This was a really cute lighthearted holiday romance.

The premise felt interesting, something new that I haven't read before. Felt a little bit like groundhog day vibes. It is something that I felt went a little slow, but was something that I did enjoy reading. I will likely pick up again around the holidays but it was a nice Christmas in August moment for me.

Thank you for the free copy in exchange for an honest review.

I am so beyond excited to read/review this book! The premise looked so interesting and I’m beyond exciteD to share a review both here and on the blog. Zoeys story seems extremely relatable and heartfelt and I love the twist she has to make in order to survive Christmas literally. I love that it is written in the first person as well. Just a personal preference, but I feel it draws you into the story more.

This book was cute and lighthearted, and it was a really easy read. I tend to like a bit more depth, but it was still really cute.

The Christmas Cupid by Jennifer Joyce is my first ever book by this stunning author and it sure has heck won't be my last!
I was thinking about this story when I wasn't reading it. And I was devouring this story when I was reading it!

The Christmas Cupid was so adorable! Like I absolutely loved it!
It was just the right thing to get me out of my little reading slump.
The story was fun, entertaining and well written. With some pretty fabulous main characters.
I loved the writing, the story and was interested to see how these characters lives played out.
I will happily recommend this fabulous book to everyone.

The Christmas Cupid by Jennifer Joyce is a super funny and sweet romantic comedy. This book had me hooked from the very beginning. The character, Zoey Beake, is hilarious and such a joy to get to know. I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to more books by Jennifer Joyce.
