Seven Days of Us follows a week in a slightly dysfunctional family when they’re forced to spend Christmas in quarantine with each other.

I was hoping for a quirky Christmas book full of weird but lovable characters but honestly this book was not it for me. I enjoyed the writing style here, but just not the contents - and for me, the faults were only with the characters. I just hated them all and not in a ‘love to hate’ way, just pure hate. All the characters, apart from the mother, just appeared to really selfish, inconsiderate and downright annoying. There was something at the end that did make me gasp a bit, and feel sad, but that was probably the only actual feelings I felt towards the characters despite a strong dislike.
