What the Elf?

By: Kate Benson

Narrated by: Jillian Yetter

Abby

After my sister and I lost our parents, life has been up in the air. The only thing we’ve been able to hold on to is our pact to spend every Christmas together, avoiding it like the plague.

That’s exactly what I’m doing, when a deliciously dimpled man introduces himself the first day I arrive in Cringle Cove.

There’s nothing wrong with making a friend, right?

Until our easy friendship turns into a hellacious crush and a favor bred from nightmares.

For the first time ever, I’d kill for a Christmas miracle.

Dex

For someone who loves everything about the holidays, mine are sure getting off to a terrible start.

The worst part?

I promised my ex I wouldn’t tell a soul we’d ended things until we’re far away from Cringle Cove. At least, I’m in the most festive town in the country. If everything else goes to hell this week, I’ve got that.

I’m hiding out in a coffee shop when I see Abby. She’s awkward, sarcastic, and obviously miserable here. I’ve never wanted anyone more.

Keep a promise to your ex in exchange for a happy holiday? What the elf was I thinking?

What the elf

One of the best books ever. I loved listening to this book. At first I wasn't sure but it is the best ever to listen to

Enjoyed listening to this book

A short story but a must listen to book. It is full sisterly love and the narrator was amazing at both voices.

Sweet Christmas Romance!

Listened to the audio on Audible. Narrator did a good job with the performance. There are chapters from both Abby and Dex, so the narrator did a great job of doing both sections. I liked her normal narration voice the best. Recommend listening!

Super cute! Sweet Christmas romance between Abby and Dex. They have great chemistry! Abby and her twin lost their parents, so they only have each other. They go to college in different places, so they made a pack to get together during the holidays. So, that’s how they find themselves in Christmas town, Cringle Cove, but Abby isn’t exactly feeling the Christmas spirit, so she’s a bit of a grinch. When she meets good looking Dex at the coffee house, things are looking up! Unfortunately, she thinks Dex is taken, so they begin a friendship. Dex promised his ex that he would act like they are still together during a Christmas visit at her family’s place and not tell anyone that they aren’t together, but Dex is finding it difficult to deal with it. I wish this was a bit longer because I would’ve loved more scenes around Cringle Cove, but this short story was a fun and sweet read. I’d say this is mostly YA, but does lean a bit into the NA category. I enjoyed the whole thing!

Holiday cute

Ever since Abby lost her parents she has become anti-Christmas. Every year Abby meets up with her twin sister in their home town but this year she has a run in with Dex who loves the holidays. Dex broke up with his girlfriend but decided to not tell her family and went through with spending the season with her family.

They both meet up at one of the local coffee shops and find out they have a lot in common. Abby needs to find out if she’s capable of changing her heart.

Cute for a short story for the holidays. It’s a Hallmark story about someone who doesn’t believe in Hallmark movies!

Adorable!

Cute and quick story. Funny characters, and setting. The silly interactions kept me laughing until the end of the book.
