About this listen

Abby

After my sister and I lost our parents, life has been up in the air. The only thing we’ve been able to hold on to is our pact to spend every Christmas together, avoiding it like the plague.

That’s exactly what I’m doing, when a deliciously dimpled man introduces himself the first day I arrive in Cringle Cove.

There’s nothing wrong with making a friend, right?

Until our easy friendship turns into a hellacious crush and a favor bred from nightmares.

For the first time ever, I’d kill for a Christmas miracle.

Dex

For someone who loves everything about the holidays, mine are sure getting off to a terrible start.

The worst part?

I promised my ex I wouldn’t tell a soul we’d ended things until we’re far away from Cringle Cove. At least, I’m in the most festive town in the country. If everything else goes to hell this week, I’ve got that.

I’m hiding out in a coffee shop when I see Abby. She’s awkward, sarcastic, and obviously miserable here. I’ve never wanted anyone more.

Keep a promise to your ex in exchange for a happy holiday? What the elf was I thinking?

What the Elf? is a multi-POV stand-alone with content intended for mature listeners.

This is the only book I've read by Kate Benson, as well as the only book I've read in the Cringle Cove series. It can be read as a stand alone.

I was about to call What the Elf a short, sweet story when I realized that while there are some sweet moments, there was also a lot of arguing, so sweet didn't feel like the right word. There were also some things that didn't entirely make sense or seemed to contradict each other (are two characters staying friends or never seeing each other again?), but setting that aside, I liked the story and the implied emphasis on integrity.

Jillian Yetter had a very unique and interesting performance and I liked her voice. The animated voice, especially with the arguments, gave it more of a young adult feel.

I believe in Christmas all year long, so when I saw this, I got excited! A novella just long enough to keep the spirit alive and that is exactly what it does. Abby and her sister spend Christmas in Cringle Cove do hide from all the festivities since their parents died. When Abby stops in for coffee, she does not expect a present of sorts of her own. Dex loves Christmas, but this year it's a little agitated. His ex won't let him off the hook for family activities, so he is hiding out in the coffee shop. And that is when he spots his present! Abby and Dex are so much fun. Abby is sarcastic,just like me, so I absolutely loved her. Dex is just too nice, trying to please everyone and finding out that it's not that way life works. Their blossoming relationship from friendly to lovers is fun and festive. I love the multi POV's and enjoyed this seasonal tale. Narration by Jillian Yetter is spot on and entertaining!

Post holiday fun!
