You're a Mean One, Matthew Prince” By Timothy Janovsky 
 
📕 Edition: Audiobook 
 
Matthew Prince, the epitome of spoiled, is banished to his grandparents' town for the holidays after a PR disaster. The story takes an unexpected turn as he crosses paths with Hector Martinez, an eye-rolling local unimpressed by Matthew's antics. 😒💔 
 
Janovsky weaves a cute tale of forced proximity, holiday cheer, and found family that warms the heart. 🎄💖 However, I couldn't help but despise Matthew for his entitlement, though the narrative cleverly hints at a redemption arc. 😡🔄 
 
Also, Hector's repetitive use of "dude." 🤦‍♂️ While it aimed for character quirkiness, it occasionally grated on my nerves. 
 
Despite my mild annoyances, the story ultimately won me over with its charm and the transformation of a Grinch-like character. 🤗❤️
