The Secret Santa Project

by Tracy Bloom

A name drawn from a hat
Someone you barely know
A Christmas you’ll never forget

This December, Jolene can’t wait for the office Secret Santa moment ― the festive present-swapping exercise made up of unlikely pairings and inappropriate gifts.

But this year, her colleagues are in need of more than a novelty wine glass and a box of Celebrations to get their tinsel twinkling.

So Jolene’s a woman on a mission, and she’s hatched a secret plan to make this their best Christmas ever…

It was a new author to me as it was picked as part of my bookclub. It was a slow start but as you got to know the characters. It was good how you found out how there all are a part of each others life. The secret Santa project was such a great idea by Jolene. How there started to think what would be the perfect for who had picked who. A few surprises on the way. The way it ended was lovely. It left you thinking how you would see it end with the characters new relationships. A nice read,

What a brilliant idea for a story. Fantastic Christmas read. I loved the idea of the project. Wish I was still at work and could introduce it for a fun challenge. And of course there's a happy ending.

A little cheesy, but a sweet read. The ending was both satisfying and unsatisfactory, but it was a good way to get into the Christmas spirit
