Additional information

by Fiona Gibson (Author)

As deliciously heartwarming as a pumpkin spice latte on a cold winter's night. I adored it!' - SHARI LOW The BRAND-NEW, brilliantly funny novel from #1 bestseller Fiona Gibson, author of The Mum Who Ran Away from Everything, perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella and Jill Mansell.

Shelley has had enough. She's reached her limit with the festive preparation that has always fallen to her and, five days before Christmas, she's booked a mini break' without her family. Up until Christmas Eve, Shelley and her bestfriends Pearl and Lena will be sipping prosecco in the Highlands, while her teenage kids wrap bacon around 100 chipolatas and her husband braves the supermarket for once.

It's exactly what she needs' until they're snowed in. Facing the prospect of Christmas 500 miles from home, each of the friends is forced to confront her real reasons for needing to escape: the fiance with the obnoxious family; the son's new girlfriend who is taking over their home; the family who take their mother for granted all year round'

Will they make it home before Christmas day? And if they do, can they really go back to their old lives?

This Christmas, forget Elf on the Shelf and get ready for Mums on the Run in the hilarious and heartwarming new novel from Fiona Gibson.
