I LOVE the Grinch and thus I found myself paying extra attention to You’re A Mean One, Matthew Prince by Timothy Janovsky. This is a gay romance about a young man whose heart grows three sizes. Suffice to say, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Matthew Prince, the title character, has been raised in the lap of luxury. One day, he makes the decision to buy an island with his parents money. This pisses them off and so he is banished to stay in the small town his grandparents live in while his parents keep the island buying out of the media. While staying with his parents, it turns out that Matthew has a roommate — Hector Martinez. Hector is amazing and a college student. Matthew ends up volunteering to direct a charity gala and learning to care about something besides himself.
You’re A Mean One, Matthew Prince was quite a good read. I am glad that I listened to the audiobook of this — as it made it easier to squeeze into my busy month. Also the audiobook narration is easy to listen to. The narrator is Mark Sanderlin. The duration is 10 hours and 39 minutes, but I listened to this sped up. Also, borrowed this from Hoopla. I loved the character growth that Matthew experiences as well as the chemistry he has with Hector who is a pure soul. Loved Hector so much.
On A Scale Of One To Buddy The Elf, How Much Christmas Spirit Does You’re A Mean One, Matthew Prince Have?
If we think about Christmas as a time to care about others and a time to uplift your community, Timothy Janovsky’s You’re A Mean One, Matthew Prince checks the boxes. This book is sweet and touching — but there is definitely some spice too. I absolutely recommend you add this to your Christmas reading list.
