Jolly & Jaded by DJ Krimmer was short and fun while still having that emotional depth that I've come to expect from a DJ book.

I related to Grant and Elsie both for different reasons and was pulling for them the whole way through.

I was lucky enough to get an ALC of the audio and the production from BNA was stellar as always. 

Joe Arden brought the emotion and intensity that he's known for to Grant and Amanda Willow, as Elsie, sounded like a seasoned professional in this duet narration. Giving a performance that made me laugh and brought me to tears. 

If you're looking for a story that's more than just a cookie cutter holiday romcom I would absolutely recommend Jolly & Jaded. I know I'll be listening to it every holiday season from now on.
