I loved this book! It’s been a while where I listened to an audiobook that I didn’t want to put down but I listened to this one in about 3 days. There were so many things I loved about this book! I loved the depth and character development we got from Matthew. Matthew has generalized anxiety disorder and throughout the story we see how some of his mistakes could have been appeals for attention from the people around him and his parents. I thought the narrator conveyed these emotions in the audio book fantastically. I loved Hector as a love interest and was rooting for him and Matthew this whole time. 

I do think the idea of class with Matthews family could have been expanded on a little bit more but I still really enjoyed it. I thought the narrator was fantastic throughout the story!

This is such a fun holiday read! 

Thank you to Dreamscape Media and NetGalley for a copy of this audiobook arc in exchange for an honest review.
