Publisher's summary

Lucy Peckham has one big problem - Christmas! Every December 25th brings Lucy the gift of pain, illness, or embarrassment of one sort or another.

Steve Andrews was there to bear witness to Lucy's first humiliating Christmas back when they were both children together.

Now that they're adults, will the tides finally turn for Lucy, or will this be her worst Christmas ever?

I Hate Christmas

I Hate Christmas
: S.M. Smith


Lucy Peckham hates Christmas. Every year since she was a preteen embarrassing, rotten things happen at Christmas. I listened to this while I was alone or people may of thought I was insane, because I kept laughing out loud. I projected ahead trying to guess what was going to happen next. Wonderful listen!1


The narration was well done.The characters were well portrayed. Susan Marlowe was the perfect choice for this book.

Sweet and funny!

This is a sweet and funny short novella. Lucy hates Christmas. From the time she can remember, nothing good every happened, as a matter of fact, bad things would happen to her on Christmas. We travel through her mishaps and embarrassments, he loves and disappointments until she finds her happily ever after. If you need a quick book to bring a smile to your face, this is one for you.

Susan Marlowe is a wonderful narrator. Her rich voice brings warmth and laughter throughout the performance.

Great Read

I Hate Christmas by S.M. Smith was a great read. Lucy hates Christmas because every year brings something bad. That is until Steve comes back into her life. This was a great quick read.

Cute Story

This is such a cute story. I love it! The narrator does a fantastic job with the character's voices. I especially love the way she does the mother's voice. It's perfect!

Any additional comments?

This story wasn't something I saw coming, the start was alright but somewhere near the middle I was hooked on Lucy and her POV, I also like how the romance isn't crazy over the top.
I got this story for free in return for my honest review.

I Love Lucy

I love Lucy. I totally understand her view on Christmas. The storyline was cute. I enjoyed the narration. I liked there were different tones and voices for different characters. I would definitely buy this author and narrator again.

Cute Christmas Story

This was my first experience with S. M. Smith's work, and I enjoyed in a lot. The author wrote this story in first person. Lucy, the protagonist tells how she has had many horrible experiences on Christmas day, and this influences the way she feels about Christmas. The tale is funny and charming, and I recommend it to others. Susan Marlowe's narration is great, and her voice is expressive. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.

Great story

The narrator did a great job. And the story was really good! I was hoping so hard that this poor girls luck would turn around.

You would hate Christmas too!

Lucy seems to be a bad luck magnet when it comes to the Christmas holiday. Will she ever be able to catch a break?

I thought the story was very well done and the narration was great!
