Making Your Mind Up cover

In Making Your Mind Up, Lottie faces a dilemma between two suitors, navigating love and family dynamics during the festive season.

In Making Your Mind Up, Lottie finds herself at a crossroads when she meets Tyler, a man who seems perfect for her. He’s intelligent, kind, and undeniably attractive, but there’s a hitch—her children, Ruby and Nat, are not fans. They prefer the charming Seb, who distracts Lottie from her own worries, including the romantic misadventures of her ex-husband Mario and the troubles of her best friend Cress. As Christmas draws near, Lottie is faced with a tough decision: should she follow her heart or consider her children's feelings?

As the story unfolds, the complexities of love and family dynamics come to the forefront. Lottie’s dilemma intensifies when an unexpected tobogganing accident sends her life spiraling. This incident forces her to reevaluate her choices and what true happiness means for her and her family. With humor and warmth, Making Your Mind Up explores themes of love, misunderstandings, and the spirit of Christmas, ultimately asking whether true love can shine through the chaos.

Readers have praised Making Your Mind Up for its engaging narrative and relatable characters. It’s a delightful mix of romance and comedy that keeps you invested in Lottie’s journey. As she navigates the challenges of love and motherhood, the story promises to leave you with a sense of hope and joy, perfect for the holiday season.
