A short story that I think Crusie wrote a while ago but a fun, quick read. ( )

"3 out of 5 stars! On Christmas Eve, Trudy is out at an older toy store in hopes of finding the “IT” toy for boys that year. But of course because of it BEING Christmas Eve she doesn’t find it. She only finds last year’s model, yet that throws her life into a chaos-filled adventure!

I accidentally came across this book while searching the Overdrive library. I had no idea that a new Jennifer Crusie book came out. It's been so long since I've read one of her books so I pushed it to the front of my reading list.

The writing was in true Jennifer Crusie style (keeping you on your toes) and as I'm a parent of a child who wanted the "must have toy" for Christmas, I could relate to the story. I kept finding my self slowing down and rereading when I found myself reading fast. I didn't want to miss one word and enjoy the inflection. JC has a way of making her characters inner voices shine brighter than most other authors I've read. They're funny even when they aren't trying.

I didn't want the book to end and wish it was a full length novel. ( )

FGMAMTC Blog Review
I had the best time reading this romantic comedy novella. The laughs started almost immediately and played out like a holiday family movie. All that can go wrong does, but it also goes very right.

While last minute insanity shopping for the most popular toy of the season for her nephew, Trudy gets caught up in a battle between government agents. The dialogue is truly great. The cast is made up of an ex, cougar bait, a drunken sister and other crazies. The one goal in Trudy's mind is to get that toy no matter what.

This is a great light read for getting into the Christmas spirit while tickling your funny bone. It left me with a good feeling.
