About This Audiobook

Tess Thompson’s *Christmas Treasures* is a warm, gently witty escape into Sugarville Grove, where the scent of cinnamon rolls and pepperoni mingles with the kind of quiet nostalgia that feels like a hug in audiobook form. Charlie Keene’s pizzeria isn’t just a business—it’s a shrine to her late father, a former tech mogul hiding in plain sight as the town’s beloved pizza queen. But when a childhood friend returns and a viral social media post threatens to unravel her carefully constructed life, Charlie’s forced to confront the past she’s spent a decade burying. Thompson’s prose shines in its understated humor and heart, painting a town so vivid you’ll swear you’ve tasted its famous crust. The dual narration by Eleanor Caudill and Nick J. Russo elevates the story further, with Caudill’s honeyed tones grounding Charlie’s vulnerability and Russo’s playful cadence adding levity to the town’s eccentric residents.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I started *Christmas Treasures* expecting a standard holiday rom-com, but Thompson delivers something richer—a story about reinvention, grief, and the quiet courage it takes to let people in. Eleanor Caudill’s narration is a standout, her voice dripping with the kind of warmth that makes you lean in closer to the speakers, especially during Charlie’s most tender moments. Nick J. Russo’s performance as the town’s wisecracking handyman adds a layer of charm, though his accent wavers occasionally, pulling me out of the story just enough to notice. The pacing is a dream—leisurely enough to savor the small-town atmosphere, but tight enough to avoid sagging in the middle. My only real critique? The subplot involving Charlie’s tech past feels a bit rushed, as if Thompson’s bitten off more than she can chew in the final act. Still, the emotional payoff is worth it, and by the time the credits roll (or the last chapter fades), you’ll be left with that cozy, post-holiday glow. Perfect for listeners who want their Christmas stories with substance, not just glitter.
