The Holiday Trap

I was provided a copy of this audiobook from NetGalley in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.

I typically don't enjoy audiobooks with multiple narrators, but The Holiday Trap does an excellent job of blending 2 narrators that have a lot of energy and making the story flow. The story of 2 people doing a house swap for a month and finding the loves of their lives and true joy in their lives is one I will enjoy going back to in the future.

If you are looking for a heart-warming story of self-discovery, this is a great one from 2 people's views.

4,5⭐️

3.5 stars. Cute but a little slow, with more information than I needed about beekeeping and bullet journaling. I liked the arc of Truman and Ash's relationship, but Greta's romance with the no- nonsense Carys is overshadowed by her attempts to break away from her smothering family. Good/not great, but I'm glad to see Parrish continuing to find success with mainstream publishing.

Have you ever needed to take a break from your life? Thats what happens to Greta and Truman. Both are not loving their current circumstances and thanks to a mutual friend, find themselves living in the other person's home just before the holiday season. 

Audiobook: I enjoyed the narrators chosen for this book. They work well with Greta and Truman's personalities as well as transitions to other characters in the book. I felt like I was in the story.  

Story: Overall I enjoyed this audiobook, but I did enjoy Truman's storyline more. I enjoyed the hunt for something that meant so much to him. Both main characters are wonderful. They love their friends and finally find a way to do what they want. They are friends that are there to help you when you fall. The side characters throughout the story are diverse and add so much more to the book. 

This book has LGBTQ rep, mentions dementia and Jewish representation. 

A great listen for the upcoming holiday season!

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the opportunity to listen to this audiobook.
