Such a great twist on the usual festive read. My goodness what would I give to be able to run away in the build up to Christmas, and there are only two of us!! There are so many amazing moments with this story, all three of the main characters have great stories to tell, and some of the others also have great stories as well, you just get pulled into each story. If you are having a stressful time then pick this one up and have a good read, as it may give you some ideas of how to deal without running away. This is a great story, and one you need in your life, there are a couple of moments when you may have a tear in your eye, but honestly you have so many moments when you will smile so bright that it shines like a Christmas bauble, or the beautiful white snow in the highlands, no matter how much disruption it causes.

This book features three female friends all at different stages of their lives. A last minute break to Scotland results in chaos and gives them all time to reflect on their lives when they are forced to spend Christmas day with some entertaining characters.
A heartwarming Christmas book which had me laughing and crying.
Thanks to NetGalley, Fiona Gibson and Boldwood Books for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Thank you NetGalley and Boldwood Books for allowing me to read this book early.Tis the Damn Season is a fun, quick read about three friends escaping Christmas, only to find they might have escaped it a little more than they anticipated.

I was cracking up laughing through the entire book and devoured it in one sitting! I loved the multiple POVs and fully understood why each friend wanted to escape their daily lives. This was a Christmas none of them will ever forget

'Tis the Damn Season by Fiona Gibson is my first holiday read of the year, and I am pleased to report that it is a cracker.

Shelley, Lena and Pearl are three friends who each have their own reasons for wanting to escape Christmas. Between the exhausting preparations, familial pressures, and the chaos of trying to exceed nearly impossible standards, the three women decide that an escape to the Scottish Highlands might be just the thing to put things back into perspective.

Told from the viewpoints of each of the women, as well as those of their nearest and dearest who have been left at home, this is a Christmas that none of them will soon forget.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for an ARC.

I read it in 2 sittings. It's sure to appeal to readers looking for their own 'getaway' from the pressures of Christmas.

Me gustó que no sentí que estuviera leyendo, me dió la sensación de que una amiga me estaba contando que estaba en su vida.


La historia es sobre 3 mejores amigas que llevan treinta años conociéndose, han estado en las buenas y en las malas. Ese año todas están pasadon por situaciones que las tienen descontroladas y para colmo se acerca la navidad, esa época en la que deben encargarse de todo y de todos, entonces al ver que todas están estresadas, deciden hacer un viaje rápido para despejarse y regresar antes de nochebuena.

Todas están es sus cincuentas y están casadas o en una relación.

-Shelley ha estado casada por muchos años y su marido, Joel, es un grosero, la trata como la ayuda y se siente superior por su trabajo, mientras que ella trabaja, atiende la casa, a los hijos y a él.


-Lena esta divorciada y hace unos años conoció a Tommy, quien también es divorciado con una hija y es hijo de una familia acaudalada. Ella no se lleva bien con los padres de él porque la ven como inferior.

-Pearl es viuda, fue muy feliz con su marido, Dean, se amaban con locura, fueron muy felices hasta que enfermó y murió. Durante muchos años se centro en cuidar a su hijo, hasta que decidió salir a citas y conoció a Elias con quien lleva saliendo por tres meses.









Sabía lo de Joel, era muy obvio lo que estaba haciendo, lo odie.



Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I was not sure about this book, but once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down. Three separate stories about three best friends. I loved how each main character had his or her POV. I could relate to each one in some way or another. I went along for the ride and had a great time.
