A review by babsreads18
The Night Before Christmas by Nicola Knight

2.5

 Felicity doesn’t like Christmas. She hasn’t for years, so she’s shocked when a man shows up on Christmas Eve dressed like a penguin to help save a kitten. Penguin man is James, who also happens to dislike Christmas, and soon they find themselves growing closer. Their budding romance is disrupted when Felicity’s ex, Adam, shows up declaring his love for her. 

I really struggled to connect with this book. The initial meet cute was fun and adorable, but after that the story went downhill for me. Both Felicity and James were fine, but I just didn’t feel the romance between them. The plot twist with Adam towards the end was just kind of strange and not believable. 

I listened to the audio and thought the narrator was good. She spoke clearly, but even sped up it was a little slow for me.
