The Twelve Dares of Christmas

By: Lisa Maloney

Narrated by: Samantha Norbury

When Haley’s parents left on a last-minute trip to a tropical island for Christmas, they knowingly left something important at home: their daughter.

Faced with the reality of her first holiday alone, Haley and her roommate lose themselves in a wine-fueled movie marathon. Next thing they know, there are empty bottles on the coffee table along with a list of dares that turn the twelve days leading up to Christmas into a series of hilarious, festive challenges. Suddenly it’s all silly games, new friends, and run-ins with security guards—there might even be a bit of romance brewing.

A new spin on a Christmas classic, The Twelve Dares of Christmas is perfect for those who savor the holidays, seek out opportunities to make memories, and cherish friendships, new and old.

Fun & cute holiday read

I really enjoyed this book! It's a great light-hearted, fun and cute story. I thought it was very well-written and enjoyed the narration. It was the perfect length and an easy listen!

Hilariously Inspiring!

This could have easily been the book version of every silly, smarmy Hallmark Christmas movie, but it wasn't, and I was both surprised and delighted. I also expected more emphasis on romance (not typically my thing, though I don't mind some), and while the romantic subplot was there, it didn't overwhelm the plot - an inspiring story about two good friends, a hilarious holiday game, and how the game helped Haley to grow as a person. It was fun and sweet, and it's made me consider trying a few Christmas dares of my own!

What a sweet and adorable Christmas story

In writing this review, I know I will not do this justice. However, if you’d like Hallmark movies or family holiday movies at all, this is the book to read. It gives all the cozy feels with some comic relief. The performance is top-tier Samantha Norbury never fails to disappoint. I can’t wait to see what else this author has to offer.

Original

This is a original, cozy Christmas book. About friendship and traditions. The narration was superb helping me submerge into the story.
