About this listen

A sweet, funny holiday romance full of love, friendship and family that'll keep you smiling. From Independent Publisher and Readers' Favorite award-winning author of Blues Harp Green and Saoirse Berger's Bookish Lens in La La Land.

Shy, creative high school junior Quinn Hughes has always been happy following in her bubbly, brilliant older sister Cricket’s footsteps in everything from speech and track to AP classes, dance committees and carpool. But this year, Cricket's at college and Quinn’s joyful life is falling apart. She can’t seem to shine without her helicopter sister leading the way. By Thanksgiving, Quinn is friendless, has an F in history, tanked the Varsity speech tournament and fell asleep at a stoplight after an all-night study session, putting her driving privileges on probation. Worst of all, Quinn’s given up on herself and is quitting Winter Formal design committee, the one activity where she truly shines on her own merit.

Quinn’s parents are anything but happy and threaten a family “intervention" vacation to Cancun over winter break to get Quinn back on track. But that would ruin older sister Cricket’s winter ski trip with friends, so she plots to fix Quinn’s life from college, secretly hiring oddball neighbor Jesse Winer to be Quinn’s friend and winter-season wingman.

Jesse's mission: Get Quinn to succeed at being holiday awesome—and come out of her room—before the Cancun intervention is unavoidable. Jesse is a sweet, goofy, romantic wanna-be symphony conductor who’s secretly obsessed with composing a melodic waltz inspired by his crush—Quinn. So, he jumps at Cricket's offer. And it works! Quinn and Jesse's friendship blooms, and Quinn steps into her own. She designs the utterly fabulous winter-formal dance and enjoys Christmas-season fun just like every other year.

But when Quinn finds out Cricket paid Jesse to be her friend, it's any elf's guess if Quinn will be brave enough to keep sparkling and find Christmas love where she least expects it.

Will Quinn Find Quinn, with or in Spite of the Support of Her Quirky Family?

We each have our own journey, whether the road is clearly marked or we figure it out step by step. In this engaging novel written and narrated by Nicole Schubert, Quinn is in a unique situation after her super sister, Cricket, moves away for college. She has the advantage of being in an intact and supportive family, where she can figure out if her path is to follow exactly in Cricket’s footsteps, as she believes is expected. -Laugh, cringe and smile through the well meaning antics of Quinn’s family and friends. Oh sisters!

Now I want some shortbread and Cadbury chocolates.

What a charming tale. Perfect for getting in the holiday spirit. I enjoyed spending time with Quinn and her (not always) merry band of friends and family. It’s not often you get a tale that mixes Native American traditions with symphonic composer aspirations. Delightful!

Not only do I want shortbread and Cadbury chocolates, but I want some lemon spice bars too!

A fun coming of age story to follow and easy to listen to

This is more than a romantic Christmas story of a teenager’s (Quinn) life. The story takes you through Quinn’s emotional journey as a teenager coming into her own with a special friendship turn romance.

Very engaging and enjoyable teen romance!

I really liked the quirky characters and their relationships. I also want to try those lemon spice bars—there should be a recipe included!
