About this listen
The International Bestseller—A feel-good, holiday rom com about identical twins who swap lives twelve days before Christmas—perfect for fans of Christina Lauren’s In a Holidaze and Josie Silver’s One Day in December
All they want for Christmas is a different life.
When chef Charlie Goodwin gets hit on the head on the L.A. set of her reality baking show, she loses a lot more than consciousness; she also loses her ability to taste and smell—both critical to her success as show judge. Meanwhile, Charlie's identical twin, Cass, is frantically trying to hold her own life together back in their quaint mountain hometown while running the family's bustling bakery and dealing with her ex, who won't get the memo that they're over.
With only days until Christmas, a desperate Charlie asks Cass to do something they haven't done since they were kids: switch places. Looking for her own escape from reality, Cass agrees. But temporarily trading lives proves more complicated than they imagined, especially when rugged firefighter Jake Greenman and gorgeous physician assistant Miguel Rodriguez are thrown into the mix. Will the twins' identity swap be a recipe for disaster, or does it have all the right ingredients for getting their lives back on track?

Laurie is sure love at first sight doesn't exist anywhere but the movies. But then, through a misted-up bus window one snowy December day, she sees a man who she knows instantly is the one. Their eyes meet, there's a moment of pure magic...and then her bus drives away. Certain they're fated to find each other again, Laurie spends a year scanning every bus stop and cafe in London for him. But she doesn't find him, not when it matters anyway. Instead they "reunite" at a Christmas party, when her best friend, Sarah, giddily introduces her new boyfriend: the man from the bus.

Two weeks before Christmas and all through Manhattan, shop windows are decorated in red and green satin. I'm standing alone in front of the famous Vivant department store, when a charming man named Aiden asks my opinion of the décor. It's a tragedy in tinsel, I say, unable to lie. He asks for a better idea with a twinkle in his eye. Did I know he owned the place? No. He put me on the spot. Now I'm working for that man, trying to ignore that he's hot. But as a down on her luck girl with a difficult past, I know an opportunity when I see one—and I have to make it last.

In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby.

Take a step back
Twin sisters Charlie and Cass switch their very different lives for a week. I really struggled getting into this book. The last fourth of it was AMAZING though!
This book is a good reminder that sometimes we need to take a step back from our busy lives, focus on ourselves, and make sure we’re truly doing what we want. Also, I tried adding cinnamon to my coffe grounds before brewing it like Walter does. It was really good and added a “Christmas” taste to it!
Stephanie Cannon did a WONDERFUL job reading this book! She was so engaging and made the story so enjoyable!

Sweet Christmas Story
Loved this book. Included all the essential elements for a fun, cozy, Christmas rom/com. Enjoyed the switch and how the twins took on each others lives - reminded me of the parent trap a little bit. The narration seemed a little over done at times but not bad overall. Recommend if you’re looking for a fun holiday romance.

Cute and Heartfelt Holiday story
If you like lifetime and Hallmark holiday movies, this book is for you. The meet cute was cliche, but it still gave me that heartfelt feeling when two people discover each other. As for the narration, spot on for finding each character’s voice. I enjoyed this audiobook very much.

Christmas Traditions
There are. some Christmas trope driven stories out there that fit the mold too well. This is not one of them. It has as many nods to the hallmark and other (streaming service name here) original’s themes as it does to unique twists and turns.
Hoping to see more from this author.
