Vain and irritating main character, couldn't connect with him or the story at all.

Liked the concept, but just not for me unfortunately.

Based on "A Christmas Carol", "All About Us" is a nice little what-if story in which our protagonist is taken to pivotal Christmas Eves in his life as he examines what really happened at important moments in his life and what will happen if he continues on the path he's currently on. Obviously, it's not the most original of stories, but it's skilfully executed and I was quite surprised by the conclusions he comes to.

A nice piece of escapism to while away a few hours.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC without obligation.

Gorgeous, heart-warming, romantic, utterly feel-good!!
I really enjoyed this book, it's a simple story of love which makes it incredibly easy to read. the writing is engaging and insightful and I was left feeling all warm and fuzzy, it's a charming book and I can't wait to read more from the author.

All About Us by Tom Ellen was a lovely, heart-warming Christmas read! A very enjoyable and emotional story!

This is a retelling of A Christmas Carol.
This was amazingly written especially as it was a debut author. I am not a huge fan of this genre but I really enjoying this book.

A new author for me, I struggle with some bits of the book and trigger alert there are sections that are emotional but an enjoyable read, if you love a Christmas Carol you'll love this too, it's a modern day twist on it that really works.

A sweet Christmas story, heartfelt and full of important messages of making the most of every moment. I loved how this book dealt with grief, and gave our main character a second chance.

Christmas reading at its best - made me cry 5 times! It's brimming with forgiveness, gratitude and self-love.

This is a really lovely heart warming book. Will read again for sure.perfect Sunday afternoon reading

I’m a sucker for a romance novel and I love the holidays - so stick the two together and I’m completely sold!

If you aren’t a believe of far fetched plots, this might not be for you, but for me I enjoyed it. Reading about Ben and his mother also made me very emotional.

Overall I really enjoyed this book.

All About Us is a lovely...love story. It is warmth for the heart and good for your emotions.

The time traveling aspect gives a different and definitely interesting twist to the whole book.

The book is about the myriad of decisions we take and what life would be if we had made different choices. A sort of Sliding Doors type of novel, this is as interesting as engaging.

Loved this book - a contemporary A Christmas Carol tale. Such a great book to read over Christmas, so much so that I re-read it over this past Christmas too. It’s such a lovely holiday romance and you’ll just want to hug the book. Great read.

Absolutely loved this one. Gave me all the christmassy feels that you need.
It reminded me a lot of my favourite films such as Groundhog Day and Sliding Doors. And the TV programme Quantum Leap. Were certain points and choices in your life determine your path.

Ben had come to the conclusion in his life that he was hard done by and his relationship with Daphne had gone sour. I loved looking at things through Ben's eyes, and seeing his different outlook on things. It shows that hindsight is a good thing.

A beautiful and really unique love story. I adored the premise and was immediately hooked. Excellent!

A modern twist on a Christmas carol, it's refreshing to read this type of book through the eyes of a male lead. Tinged with moments of both humour and sadness, it's an enjoyable read.

I really enjoyed this festive read with a twist. It was very reminiscent of Sliding Doors and In Five Years for me.
An easy, cosy read, but one that definitely got me thinking, if I could turn back the clock , would I have chosen a different life?

Well, this was lovely! Giving me all the A Christmas Carol feels, I loved the concept of Ben being transported back to the past and the day he picked Daphne over Alice (my birthday incidentally and also my final year at uni!) to help bring the reflection and clarity he needs.

The fact this is a romance novel written by a male author written from a male protagonist’s perspective was a thumbs up from me: a refreshing and welcome change!

This was warm, funny and festive and a perfect tonic for people who may not appreciate live’s values.

⭐ Interesting twist on A Christmas Carol
⭐ Refreshing to read the male perspective one, especially as it includes men's mental health
& the struggles they face opening up.
⭐ Fab blend of romance, comedy & a touch of magic
⭐ Enjoyable and heartwarming a love story with substance.
☆ I felt Alice's character was a bit one-dimensional.

A nice easy read for the winter period. An interesting modern take on A Christmas Carol. Wasn't moved massively by it but wouldn't necessarily say it was bad either.

aw man what can i say i absolutely loved it. This book is totally enchanting and many of us can relate im sure. What ifs are the story of my life. Lol.
