Holiday Romance

By: Catherine Walsh

Narrated by: Shelley Atkinson

She’s meant to be catching flights, not catching feelings....

Molly and Andrew are just trying to get home to Ireland for the holidays when a freak snowstorm grounds their flight.

Nothing romantic has ever happened between them: They’re friends, and that’s all. But once a year, for the last ten years, Molly has spent seven hours and fifteen minutes sitting next to Andrew on the last flight before Christmas from Chicago to Dublin, drinking terrible airplane wine and catching up on each other’s lives. In spite of all the ways the two friends are different, it’s the holiday tradition neither of them has ever wanted to give up.

Molly isn’t that bothered by Christmas, but—in yet another way they’re total opposites—Andrew is a full-on fanatic for the festive season, and she knows how much getting back to Ireland means to him. So, instead of doing the sane thing and just celebrating the holidays together in America, she does the stupid thing. The irrational thing. She vows to get him home. And in time for his mam’s famous Christmas dinner.

The clock is ticking. But Molly always has a plan. And—as long as the highly specific combination of taxis, planes, boats, and trains all run on time—it can’t possibly go wrong.

What she doesn’t know is that, as the snow falls over the city and over the heads of two friends who are sure they’re not meant to be together, the universe might just have a plan of its own....

A totally gorgeous and escapist friends-to-lovers festive romance with a swoon-worthy hero. Perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Mhairi Macfarlane, and Christina Lauren.

Cute holiday romance

Very cute story. At times the narrator’s voice sounded a bit monotone, almost like Siri. But overall a fun listen.

If you love Christmas and When Harry Met Sally, look no further.

Super cute friends to lovers holiday story. Quite literally could not stop listening. Narration is good overall. This is a comfort read!

Took a while but cute ending

The pace was a little slow but the flashbacks were fun and the antics made me laugh. Cute Christmas read.

Excellent story! Irish Narrator!!

This is one of my favorite books! You get sucked into Catherine’s storytelling and feel like you’re there with Andrew and Molly. That the narrator is Irish as both of the main characters and a large portion of the story is Irish. If you’re looking for a story with all feels, look no further!

Charming story- hope there are many more to come

The description made this seem a bit vapid so I hesitated to listen. I’m sorry I waited! Funny, relatable, uplifting story. I’m glad there’s a second in the series and hope there’ll be more.
