Fun

I loved this story. Life can be messy and sometimes stressful. This story tells how even if you try to escape living life the universe can give you a curve ball.

Love it!

This was such an entertaining read! I loved the character development and the twists and turns! Do yourself a favor and enjoy!

a new seasonal classic.

well a bit of a departure for James Patterson, he and his co-author handle this really well.

Very clever!

This story has adventure, romance, a little magic, and mystery all swirled into a story that is sure to delight all ages. I will be adding this to my yearly lineup for the holidays moving forward. This is a modern retelling of the song the 12 days of Christmas. I would have loved to hear this read by another narrator but overall a really fun read for this time of year! 🎄

cute

This book was very different than most of his works but I enjoyed it very much.

It's dumb, but entertaining.

The silliness of assuming the characters didn't know what was coming after the first couple of days was too much for me. It is farfetched by any stretch of the imagination but it was a light listen for a holiday road trip. I would never recommend it though.
