Description
It's the time of year ... to run away from your life
Holly is looking for an escape - from the trappings of Christmas, her least favourite time of year, and from the fallout of her decision to call off her wedding six weeks before the big day.
A job decluttering a remote country house back in Ireland seems like the answer to her prayers. But when Holly arrives at Knockboden, it's in a far worse state than she expected, and there's no money available to carry out glamorous owner Serena's very big, and very unrealistic, renovation plans.
Just when Holly is tempted to run away again, Serena gets a phone call that looks set to change the fate of Knockboden - and she'll need Holly to make it happen. So, as the countdown to Christmas begins, Holly ignores the interference of Serena's handsome but moody son and works hard to help save the Harpur family home. And at the most wonderful time of year, nothing can go wrong ... right?

The ultimate Christmas comfy read! This book made me feel warm and fuzzy inside, I loved the storyline and how two ultimately lost souls found each other despite being on the fence of ever falling in love again!
I liked the idea of transforming an old "castle" full of nick-nacks and old memories into the ultimate Christmas Holiday dream home!
I think the author did amazingly with the character building and development!
It was a light, sweet read that will make you want to snuggle with your softest blanket whilst sipping on hot choccie and will inevitably get you into Christmas mood! ☕ 🎄
a love story an old rundown home and christmas, what more could you want from a book!!
a book full of charming characters you growto love, a book to curl up on a cold autumn day
All wrapped up is a festive fun book that you will read in one sitting. Great to pick up at the weekend with a cup of tea and a glass of wine. Holly has left her life in London and packed up back to Ireland to help clean up an old country house. Throw in a great mix of characters. This book is unputdownable.
A brilliant story about a Irish country house and turning it around. Holly realised she did not want to get married so she escapes to Ireland her mother who is a lovely Irish mother thinks it is just postponed . Lots of laughing moments . You get Hollywood thrown in, coming to film in an old Irish house. You get a great happy ending. Loved It
The PERFECT pre-Christmas read to get you in the festive mood. Lovely writing, characters are just charming and you can absorb the festive feels throughout. Loved it!
Holly has no idea what she's doing, but she knows that what was going to happen wasn't right either. She finds herself in a crumbling Irish stately home and before long is facing challenges and truths she wasn't expecting.
This is a cosy festive read; it's easy going, a little predictable but very enjoyable. It'll make you feel thoroughly festive!
The characters are likeable, you'll feel like you know them by the end of the story. There's nothing particularly stand out or different about this story, it's quite a typical chick lit but it left me feeling warm and fuzzy!
A quick, easy and lighthearted read that is more adorable than a room full of puppies and kittens. I loved the feel of this book it was such a cute and cosy read and I couldn't find fault with any part of it. I loved the characters and the setting and the story is engaging and very readavle. I finsihed it in one sitting and by the end of it I wanted to google old castles to spend christmas in. A great read.
Have a Holly, jolly, time reading this book. Grab your favourite blanket and a hot Cocoa and set aside a few hours. You are sure to loose yourself within the pages of this wonderful book and what a joy it is too.
Thank you NetGalley, Ally Bunbury and Hachette Books Ireland for the copy of All Wrapped Up. This is my personal review.
Holly was not sure what she wanted in her life but getting married was not it. She heads to Ireland to get her life where she wants it to be.
Cleaning up an old run-down country home is her next step in life. She finds things about herself along the way.
The combination of characters in this story make it all fit together so well.
This book was the perfect way to spend a day for me.
This was actually so much more lovely than I was anticipating. It started slow but the concept was good and the cliche of the girl ends engagement, moves country to a dilapidated house, does up and falls in love was definitely the biggest part of the plot. But #instalove #javia and Serena helped make the story special and it didn’t feel like another of those cheesy Christmas stories out everywhere. Well no, it definitely still was a cheesy Christmas story but it was nice still and all the feels in the last week before Christmas. I’m pleased holly got her happily ever after.
