My New Crush Gave to Me

By: Shani Petroff

Narrated by: Shani Petroff

This sweet, funny holiday romance from the author of Romeo and What's Her Name features cute boys, plenty of rom-com mishaps, and a determined heroine listeners are certain to fall for.

Charlotte "Charlie" Donovan knows exactly what she wants for Christmas: Teo Ortiz. He's a star athlete, a National Honor Society member, and the most popular guy in school. Plus he contributes to the school paper, where Charlie is a co-editor. Basically, he's exactly the type of guy Charlie's looking for. The only problem is - he barely knows she exists.

But Charlie has a plan: rig the paper's Secret Santa and win his heart with the perfect gift. The catch? She has no idea what to get him. Enter J.D. Ortiz - Teo's cousin, and possibly the most annoying person on the planet. He's easy going, laid back, disorganized, and spontaneous - the exact opposite of Charlie (and Teo). But he knows what Teo wants, so she's stuck with him.

Yet, the more time Charlie spends with J.D., the more she starts to wonder: Does she really know what, or, rather, who, she wants for Christmas?

Shani Petroff's newest young adult comedy of errors, My New Crush Gave to Me, is the perfect listen for those searching for some love and laughter along with their holiday spirit.

I loved it! It put me in the holiday spirit!

I adored this book and recommend it to anyone who loves the holidays!

I want to listen to this audiobook again before the holidays are over, maybe even read the physical copy that one of my best bookstagram friends sent me. I found excuses to be in the car, since that’s my prime audiobook time, just to listen to the rest of the story. If you’re looking of the perfect holiday recommendation, look no further. Christmas/Holiday books aren’t done enough in the young adult genre, so I praise Petroff for creating a story I want to read at any time of the year and enjoy as much as rewatching my favorite Christmas movies.

High school romance

This was a fun look at a high school crush and how the secret Santa gifts lets the very up tight girl find the right guy for her even if she doesn’t know it at first

Shani has a new fan!!

What a great story, I am glad I listened.
I needed a good upbeat story and Shani did not disappoint!! I laughed so hard at times, my family thought I was crazy!!! And the ending, OMG it was FANTASTIC!!!
Want a great listen? Well go no further, you've found it.

Shani Petroff! This was a great holiday story about what it means to be a true friend. JD and Charlie were a work in progress! However, Charlie was truly clueless and a bit selfish! Shani did a wonderful job as narrator too!

Cute holiday story

This was a fun cute holiday story. I enjoyed the audio book.
The story is a three and a half star because the main character was just so annoying at the beginning that I almost stopped reading but then she had enough character develop to change my opinion by the end. The plot was very transparent but is kinda pat norm for holiday books but otherwise it was a good book.

Enjoyable and sweet

4 star Review My New Crush Gave To ME by Shani Petroff

This was a sweet, feel good story that was written and narrated by Shani Petroff. A holiday story that will get you in the mood for the festive season and I enjoyed it.

I found myself laughing out loud on numerous occasions and certainly got some strange looks from fellow travellers.

This was a young adult story and I found it heart warming.

Delightful little book

I am new to the YA Christmas romance subgenre and, after giving 3 stars to two of its most hyped books, I didn't expect to love My New Crush Gave to Me as much as I did, but it turned out I was right to trust my gut in choosing it for my next read. It was a very well rounded story, with nice character arcs and romance development. Overall, if you're looking for a cute light holiday read, I definitely recommend this one.

CUTE STORY

this was such a cute story. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to all of Charlotte's trials and tribulations. It was a lot of fun to listen to. The author did a pretty good job with the narration as well. The story is sweet and funny.

4.5 Stars for this adorable YA Contemporary!

This book was so adorable! I loved the friendship between Charlie and Morgan. It's the kind of friendship we all want when we're that age.

Charlie reminded me a lot of me in always having to have things a certain way, and having to always be early or on time. She's so driven in everything she does and has a fun bubbly personality while also making sure to follow the rules!

JD is so adorable! I love how he teases Charlie while also doing little things for her. His relationship with his grandfather is also the sweetest thing!

If you love light and fluffy YA Contemporaries than this holiday themed read is perfect for you!

This audio was fantastic. Shani did a wonderful job of narrating her own book which I love! She made Charlie so fun and upbeat. It really brought the lightness to the story. I enjoyed listening to every minute of it!
