'' Christmas Is All Around is everything I want in a Christmas romcom . . . Martha Waters, never stop writing books just for me'' SARAH HOGLE A former child star learns that holiday magic can come from a change in perspective in this charming and hilarious holiday rom-com, perfect for fans of Love, Actually and The Holiday. Charlotte hates the holidays. As a former child actress, she starred in a modern classic of a holiday movie, and its fans won''t let her move on. When a piece revealing that her reluctance nixed plans for a reboot, she flees to London to spend the five-week countdown to the holidays with her sister. But the ghosts of Christmas past follow her there when she ends up at Eden Priory, a filming location for the movie she has never visited. There, after being recognized by a fan while viewing the extraordinary holiday decorations, she''s accidently left behind, forcing her to accept a ride back to London by Graham, the son of the owners. Their family business - and the funds to keep their historic house running - relies on holiday cheer, and Graham knows a visit from a holiday star would bring in more visitors. Now an illustrator, Charlotte accepts a commission illustrating iconic holiday movie scenes in London and its environs. Graham offers to help escort her, as long as she''ll commit to an art workshop at Eden Priory. But as Charlotte''s chaotic family holiday goes awry, she begins spending more time scouting locations with Graham. Charlotte may not love Christmas, but is it so bad if you''re also falling in love?
