THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“Pure, irresistible magic from start to finish.” —Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author

One Christmas wish, two brothers, and a lifetime of hope are on the line for hapless Maelyn Jones in this quintessential holiday romantic comedy by Christina Lauren, the New York Times bestselling authors of The Paradise Problem.

It's the most wonderful time of the year...but not for Maelyn Jones. She's living with her parents, hates her going-nowhere job, and has just made a romantic error of epic proportions. But perhaps worst of all, this is the last Christmas she will spend at her favorite place in the world: the snowy Utah cabin where her family has spent the holidays every year since she was born. Mae throws out a plea to the universe: Please. Show me what will make me happy.

Everything goes black, but then she gasps awake on an airplane bound for Utah, where the same holiday begins all over again. With one hilarious disaster after another sending her back to the plane, Mae must break free of the time loop—and finally get her true love under the mistletoe.

Critic Reviews

"Patti Murin's joyful and animated narration will put listeners in the holiday spirit as young professional Mae contemplates the awkward make-out session that ruined her Christmas vacation. But after a plea to the universe, Mae finds herself repeating her vacation over and over until she can discover what makes her happy. Murin's performance embraces the absurdity of the situation with perfect comedic timing that emphasizes Mae's exasperation. Murin's hilariously frantic tone slowly turns merry and bright when Mae decides to pursue a romance with her childhood crush—one of the many family friends Murin brings to life in a combination of loving and compassionate voices. Murin channels the romance, joy, and comedy of a magical holiday romance in this standout audiobook."

Christina Lauren have written some really clever and funny books but this falls well short. The time loop had missed opportunities and it was flat and lacked creativity. I'm surprised no one else has commented but it felt like every other paragraph ended with "I laugh", "Andrew laughs" or "he/she laughs". Every time someone laughed, I cringed. It felt lazy and rushed and in need of some serious editting. The nicknames were also cringey. "Noodle" is not endearing for any age of woman. Finally, the dips in audio quality was the final straw. Looking forward to a new CL novel that brings back the charm of the earlier books.

Flat and dull
