This book is part of my 10 Christmas Books For This Holiday Season – 2022.

Just Date and See by Portia MacIntosh is a funny and relatable story full of entertaining characters, set during Christmas time.

My Overview

It’s Christmas time in 2022, and Billie’s looking forward to a peaceful and relaxing time in her newly remodeled home. She’s been single for a year, and her mom and sister have their own plans for the season. She never expected to have a house full of guests during Christmas, but that’s exactly what happens 😬.

With a house full of unwanted guests, the only way Billie could find some time away from them, is to just date and see. So, for the sake of being away from her home, she pretends to have a full calendar for the holidays … by signing up for daily social events through a dating app. The various situations and people Billie meets at the dating events are entertaining. Aside from that, the troubles and situations caused by her guests, are hilarious.

As funny and entertaining as this story was, it also included themes of marital affairs and estranged parent-child relationships. I liked the depth those subjects offered, and the way they were handled within the storyline. Overall, this is a heartwarming story about love, family, and new beginnings … and I loved it all.

My Recommendation

This was such a fun story! It has all the humorous and clever elements I’ve come to expect from the author’s rom-coms. I read the Kindle edition, but also listened to the audiobook at times. I highly recommend the audiobook, which is narrated by Karen Cass.
