This week for the Fiction Friday feature, I am reviewing the romance Audible Original, The Best Worst Christmas by Kate Forster. This audio work was released in December 2021. It is performed by Rachel Tidd and is 4 hours & 29 minutes in length. The following overview is provided from the Audible page: Lily is back from Australia for the first time in seven years to spend Christmas at her mum’s house in a small, gossipy English village. To her surprise she returns to find that her mother is dating the man next door, who also happens to be the father of her ex-boyfriend Tom. Tom, who broke Lily’s heart all those years ago. Tom, the real reason Lily fled to the other side of the world and stayed there. Tom, who is also home for Christmas and right there, next door. In what is shaping up to be the worst Christmas ever, somehow Lily and Tom have to try to get along and play happy families, but living with the man who she is clearly not over is proving to be difficult, and tensions are high. Add in some drunken caroling, a reindeer bite, a potent Christmas pudding and some meddling parents and Lily’s trip home will turn her entire life upside down.
This was a quick and easy listen. I thought the story was funny and enjoyable. The narration really brought this story to life. If you have an Audible account I highly recommend checking out this original.
I give this Audible Original 4 out of 5 stars.
Tomorrow for the Missing Person Saturday feature, I am highlighting the missing person’s case of Willie Edward Wallace Jr. Next week for the Fiction Friday feature, I am reviewing the horror novel, Black House by Stephen King & Peter Straub. Until then keep reading on; Nerd out!
