Merry Christmess

I went into *Merry Christmess* expecting a cozy holiday romp, but what I got was a story that feels like listening to your own siblings bicker—if your siblings had impeccable comedic timing and a shared love of turning every minor inconvenience into a full-blown dramatic saga. The narration (though uncredited) leans into the twins’ alternating perspectives with a snappy, energetic delivery that mirrors their back-and-forth snark and sudden bursts of affection. Stevie and Jordan’s dynamic feels authentic, flawed, and deeply lovable—especially when they’re teaming up to outsmart their over-eager holiday planner of a mom. My one critique? The audiobook’s runtime clocks in at just under six hours, which is perfect for a single sitting, but the story could’ve benefited from a tighter middle act to avoid the occasional lull in momentum. That said, the production is crisp, with no distracting background noise, and the voice actor nails the tween edge without ever sounding too young or too old. If you’re hunting for an audiobook that captures the holiday spirit without drowning in clichés, this one’s a standout—messy, merry, and totally unforgettable.
