Another hit from Shari Low, three generations of women and how each of their Christmas eve days are all interlinked through their customs, traditions and love. Recommend it.

I wondered if it was a bit early for a Christmas book but have loved some of Shari Low's novels previously so gave into temptation with this one!

One Christmas Eve is not really a book about Christmas as such but more about the date itself!

The book centres around three generations of women from a family, a mum, daughter and grandmother and the storyline jumps between the 1960s, 1990s and 2023 to piece together their individual stories.

As always Shari's characters are relatable and likeable and we are drawn into the story.

Another enjoyable book about family, love and  friendship!

One Christmas Eve explores the lives of three women—Cathy McLean in 1968, her daughter Helena in 1993, and Eve Quinn in 2023—their stories are intricately woven together through transformative Christmas Eve moments. Cathy faces a surprise visit from her lost love, forcing her to make a life-changing decision. In 1993, Helena anticipates a joyful proposal from her boyfriend, only to confront unexpected heartbreak. The story culminates in 2023, as Eve discovers a shocking truth that unravels generations of secrets. The novel explores the complexities of family, the impact of choices, and the enduring power of love across three distinct decades.

I loved this so much. I laughed and I cried. Buy this was such a great and moving story. I loved every word of it. Loved this so much!

great Christmas story of multiple generations of women and their love lives . All taking part years apart on Christmas. You will like this book.

A fun festive read and I do love a good Christmas read. The story follows the life of Cathy, her daughter and her grand-daughter. Three generations of women, family dynamics, friendships, love and of course Christmas eve.

Loved the story and the characters, they each had their own personalities and differences which made it more real. It is a great book about families and that is what I liked about it. Easy to read and drew me in. A great read.

Thank you NetGalley and Boldwood Books for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

One Christmas Eve by Sheri Low follows the experience of Christmas Eve from 3 different perspectives across 3 different people and years. The story follows 3 different individuals: a grandmother, mother, and daughter and how they’ve experienced the holiday. This story weaves together the events that shaped the lives of Cathy McLean (grandmother), Helena (mother), and Eve Quinn. What you will find is a family that has had to make choices which lead to complications in their lives. While you feel that you are reading 3 different plots (one for each main character), you will be surprised at the way they all end up melding together to make a heartwarming story. Each chapter brings different elements to the story with different dynamics, story lines, and insights. I couldn’t put the book down. I highly recommend this book and author. Thank you the publisher and NetGalley for the advance copy in exchange for my honest review. I look forward to reading more from this author.

An uplifting book. About Christmas and love. It is really festive and is a really nice read. I enjoyed it. If you are looking for a festive book look no further.

This story takes place over one day , Christmas Eve and weaves together the lives of three generations: Cathy, her daughter Helena and granddaughter, Eve. They have a complicated dynamic as Cathy has largely been the mother figure to Eve. The reasons for this emerge as the story unfolds. This is a warm and uplifting story with family at its very centre. In fact, family ties are the motivating force behind the plot and tell you so much about the characters.

The three women are quite different personalities. Set in three different decades, 1968, 1993 and 2023, the plot lines are woven together and some surprising links emerge. Christmas is the backdrop to all three stories and whilst it can be described as festive, it is by no means the dominant factor. This makes it a good choice as an early Christmas read.

In short: a warm, uplifting story of family with a touch of romance.

Another brilliant read from this author. I loved this one as it made me laugh alot. Which is so uplifting whilst you are reading a festive book. My thanks to netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

Wow! Every Shari Low story transports me to somewhere else and gets me invested with heart and soul right from the start. I smile, cry and laugh along with the main characters.

Out of the three women, I think I loved Cathy the most. She was just so full of life and such a character and exactly what I expect from Shari!

Nevertheless, the stories of all these 3 women really touched me, even Helena’s despite the fact that I wasn’t very fond of her. I smiled, I cried and I even laughed.

Shari hit a home run once again with this brilliant story set at Christmas. I cannot recommend this book enough.

My expectations of this book were high as I've read a lot of shari lows books! And boy this book did not disappoint! Perfect read to get you into the Christmas spirit.

I had high hopes for this book as I have loved every single one of Shari’s books….and it certainly didn’t disappoint! As always, it was full of love, family, friendships and relationships, all rolled into a fabulous storyline. It tells the story of 3 generations of women from one family, Cathy, Helena and Eve, and their story gradually unfolds over one day, but years apart. The way in which their lives and stories are intertwined, all coming together in the most perfect ending, was an absolute joy to read. Can’t wait for your next one, Shari!

I loved this book so much! So well written and the way the stories of the three women was woven together was really well thought out. I love all Shari Low books that I’ve read but I think this is my favourite x

A beautiful read full of great characters and their stories. The links between the relationships were beautifully written and I loved seeing how the three decades were woven together to produce a wonderful story. Each character was given a voice per chapter which meant reading about Cathy, Helena and Eve interested me from the very beginning and the journey each of them went on was so clever. Shari Low always writes such wonderful stories full of emotion and this is a definite recommendation from me.

3 women and 3 Christmas Eve’s over the years
2023 is Eve’s story
1993 is Helena, Eve’s mum
1968 is Cathy, Helena’s mum and Eve’s gran
Eve needs some answers as she has just had some unexpected news but doesn’t expect her mum and her grans secrets
Loved it

One Christmas Eve is set in Glasgow on Christmas Eve in 1968, 1993 and 2023. Each year features a member of the same family: Grandmother - Cathy, her daughter Helena and granddaughter Eve. The story starts with Cathy marrying someone after giving up the idea that her first love will return to her. In 2023, Eve knows that something has been kept from her for 25 years, and all she wants for Christmas is the truth. Each woman has a romance or love story and they come together in an amazing way.

I loved this story. It is full of Christmas magic and I thought it was a wonderfully written story to bring this family together and discover some surprises along the way. They are all great characters, who made some mistakes in life, but made the most out of what they were dealt. There were several heartbreaking and heartwarming moments in this book and my emotions were all over the place. I don't want to spoil this story, so am not going to say much else. Apparently, Shari Low has several books that are set in a 24 hour period, so I will be looking for some of them. I highly recommend this wonderful, magical Christmas story.

Thanks to netgalley for the chance to read this book.

Christmas Eve for three different women in three different decades.

Cathy McLean 1968 - she is forced to choose between two men. One is the lost love of her life who left. Who will she choose him or the one that stayed.

Helena (Cathy’s daughter) 1993 - her boyfriend is about to propose but will an encounter threaten her future.

Eve Quinn 2023 - all she wants is the truth after a discovery rocks her world. Can she unravel the secrets of generations past?

I am absolutely obsessed with Shari Low's writing! Every one of her new books is always on my TBR list so I was hugely excited to receive this!

I love how Shari Low intertwines the lives of all her characters in such a clever and compelling way. I finished this book in one sitting.

A perfect, must-read Christmas novel. I'll definitely be re-reading this again in December to put me in the festive spirit.

Thanks NetGalley for the ARC of One Christmas Eve by Shari Low. Published by Boldwood Books
This is one of those novels you finish in one sitting, if I could have I would have
It's like one story, 3 points of view,3 timelines, and it all makes perfect sense, I loved this novel. This is my second novel by this author and she does not disappoint

I just loved how the story came together and everything wrapped up into a happy ending. I loved the characters, I thought that reading the story from 3 time periods of 3 women would would be confusing, but the author did a phenomenal job, and the storyline flowed so well. I was able to keep track of all the characters. The characters were well thought out, well described, likable.

Honestly a heartfelt must read.
