This Christmassy romcom is Audiobook Fanatic’s listen from Kristen Bailey.
Just days before Christmas, 28-year-old Eve arrives home early to find her boyfriend in the shower with another woman. Heartbroken and furious, Eve kicks her boyfriend out, tosses all his belongings out of the window, and heads to her workplace, Caspars’ Jeweller’s, for solace. Joe, Eve’s co-worker, who has been secretly in love with Eve for two years, races across town from his gig at a hen party to console her. Amidst all the drama, the jewellers mix up a major Christmas delivery, and five gold rings need to be stopped in their tracks and delivered individually to the respective customers before Christmas. Eve and Joe are eager to get their minds off their worries and race off to deliver each gold ring to their respective wedding and engagement parties. With each delivery, Joe and Eve become entangled in the relationship drama of the couple behind each ring, and each experience brings them closer together.
This book is the quintessential Christmassy romcom, filled with funny flirtatious banter, ridiculously hilarious scenes, relationship drama, and tender romance. The story is told from the perspectives of both Eve and Joe, giving listeners a clear picture of their individual mindsets and how much each character changes throughout the book.
Narrative Harrie Dobby delivers a funny, upbeat performance of both characters with a playful tone that makes the audiobook very enjoyable for listeners. In the spirit of adored rom-coms such as Love Actually, this lighthearted holiday listen is perfect for Hallmark movie and romantic comedy lovers!
