Summary
Sometimes the best thing you can get for Christmas is knowing what you really want.
Rusty Baker is a blond, rich, entitled football player in a high school full of them - just the type of oblivious jock all the bullied kids hate. And he might have stayed that way except he develops a friendship with out-and-proud Oliver Campbell from the wrong side of the tracks. Rusty thinks the friendship is just pity - Oliver is very bright, and Rusty is very not - but then Oliver kisses him good-bye when Rusty leaves for college, and Rusty is forced to rethink everything he knows about himself.
But even Rusty's newfound awareness can't help him survive a semester at Berkeley. He returns home for Thanksgiving break clinging to the one thing he knows to be true: Oliver Campbell is the best thing that's ever happened to him.
Rusty's parents disagree, and Rusty finds himself homeless for the holidays. Oliver may not have much money, but he's got something Rusty has never known: true family. With their help and Oliver's love, Rusty comes to realize that he may have failed college, but he'll pass real life with flying rainbow colors.

Sweet & Wonderful, NJR is Fabulous
Okay, I have to admit straight out that if I hadn't received a copy of this audiobook for my 'fair and honest' review I'd never have given it a try. The title and cover pic are a complete and utter misrepresentation of what's going on inside... Sadly, I've never even read the blurb!
Christmas Kitsch is an incredibly sweet story about growing up, coming out, and finding an accepting group of folks to make a family. The main character, Rusty, is adorable and pretty clueless, and told from his point-of-view, the story flows over about a year and a half while he figures it all out.
Performed by Nick J. Russo, he's got Rusty's character nailed perfectly. All the emotions from Rusty and the characters who surround him, just made me smile and sniffle and sigh. Really wonderful Christmas (and every other time of year) story!

as great as the ebook
The story is always full stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook.
The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. Nick J Russo is one of the top 5 narrators for me, I can listen without break and have no problems to follow.
I'm just not yet finish with the book, but I listen enough to give a review.
PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!
To my ratings:
5* - very very good
it's like an A+
4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A
3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B

Sweet but dragged a bit
It was a nice story, but it was a bit dull and dragged at times.
