I was provided a copy of this audiobook from NetGalley in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.
I typically don't enjoy audiobooks with multiple narrators, but The Holiday Trap does an excellent job of blending 2 narrators that have a lot of energy and making the story flow. The story of 2 people doing a house swap for a month and finding the loves of their lives and true joy in their lives is one I will enjoy going back to in the future.
If you are looking for a heart-warming story of self-discovery, this is a great one from 2 people's views.

I really liked this! The New Orleans setting was especially well-written and evocative and made me want to go back immediately. Both romances worked for me really well and despite the relatively short time frame of the book, they didn’t seem rushed to me.
I will say the discussion questions at the end talked about how the four mains were all white despite the demographics of New Orleans, and that’s definitely something that could have been changed - I may have missed some early descriptions but honestly I spent most of the book picturing Truman as black until the line near the end describing him as having light brown hair. Still, I liked the rest of the diversity and how this book dealt with romantic and familial relationships.

I gave this a few chapters, but I didn't vibe well with the characters ... probably a soft DNF, as I'm enjoying an alternate option from this author that I found on KU.
