About this listen
Marlo is a living her best life in sunny Sydney and avoiding thinking about her past at all costs. Avoiding thinking about the quaint village life she left behind in Britain. Avoiding thinking about that fateful Christmas Day.
When Marlo is unceremoniously ghosted by her part-time lover, she decides she’ll need to avoid the whole Christmas season. That is actually pretty easy in this country, because it’s so hot and so far away from anything that means Christmas to her. But Marlo’s flatmate Alex is determined to lift her out of her grinch slump and convince her that Christmas Down Under may be unfamiliar, but exactly what she needs to start her life on a new course. Alex, with his calm order and terrible Dad jokes. Alex, with his sparkling Christmas cocktails, his chiseled jaw and washboard abs. Alex, who’s going to turn Marlo’s Christmas wish list upside down.

Simply Not For Me
I have a little under two hours left in this book but I just can’t listen anymore. I can’t imagine this will become anymore worth my time.
Without delving into too many spoilers, this story is just way too hum drum for me and not what I was hoping for. When I read the title Upside Down Christmas and the concept, I thought by now the story would be into more of some charming holiday shenanigans in the sun! But instead it’s just the main character wallowing for hours and questioning her life choices. And oh boy is the male roommate actually the love that’s been under her nose all along? I hope they don’t get together because it seems too cliche and unhealthy.
Really I do like these stories and I am willing to suspend my disbelief but I’m just not having any fun at all. I’m very disappointed.

If a hallmark movie were an audio book
Predictable story and nothing exciting but I still enjoyed it the same way I enjoy hallmark movies

Delightful
A wonderful, warm, heartfelt story. Perfect for the season, giving hope that even though Christmas is not as it was when you were growing up, it can be wonderful.

Amazing Room Mates Romance
Marlo didn't realize that one person who would be good for you was right in front of her face. Her roommate is Alex. After her current boyfriend ghosts her and she catches him with another woman, things between her and Alex become closer. She never realizes that Alex has always cared for her, right from the beginning.
A lovely story where she begins to enjoy Christmas again with the help of Alex. Since her mother died on Christmas, she has never enjoyed it until now.
I recommend this story; it is an enjoyable listen.

A really enjoyable story
This was something a little different from usual Christmas stories I have watched or read. It’s a light-hearted story.
