THE MISTLETOE PACT ARC REVIEW
Author: Jo Lovett Note: ⭐⭐⭐
Two single thirty-year-olds. One marriage pact. And a night in Vegas that’s about to change everything…
On Christmas Eve eight years ago Evie and Dan made a pact: if they weren’t married by thirty, they were going to marry each other. Of course, neither of them took it seriously, even if Dan has always been mesmerised by Evie’s beautiful smile, and Evie has always fancied Dan, her best-friend’s brother.
But then “it” happens. They wake up on Christmas Eve, the night before Evie’s thirtieth birthday in Vegas… married. In a honeymoon suite filled with hundreds of heart-shaped pillows, they realise too late what they’ve done – just like Ross and Rachel.
Surely if they just get a quickie divorce, they can go back to the way things used to be, right? If it wasn’t for the alcohol and Susan-with-the-huge-beehive-hairdo who just wouldn’t take no for an answer, none of this would have happened. They can just go back to being friends.
Except moving on is easier said than done when you've secretly loved each other forever… but if one of them doesn’t admit that, what happens to their friendship? If they don’t get together this time, what happens to the pact? Are they really ready to let it go for good?
Fall in love this Christmas with this feel-good story about love and second chances. Fans of One Day in December, This Time Next Year and Beth O’Leary will adore The Mistletoe Pact.
BOOK REVIEW
Evie and Dan have known each other since they were very young and on their 22nd birthday they end up making a pact to get married at 30 if they were both single. After a foolish night everything happens and everyone will see the life of the two after the act. Initially one realizes that the book has very specific plots and similar to other books having only changed to a Christmas romance and the focus on post marriage, I confess that the story of my friend's brother never won me over but I decided to give it a chance because I love Christmas and wedding stories but the book was slow and tiring in my opinion. I think that such a deep and dramatic story combined with the idea of a funny Christmas and comedy book, the way Dan treated Evie even with resolution didn't satisfy me and the two didn't match in that part, Evie deserved more space in her emotional issue. The author's writing is good, not too difficult to interpret, narrations are good, other characters are captivating but it wasn't this time for me. Thanks to Netgalley, author and publisher for the advance copy for review.
