Trudy was rude, irrational and unlikeable. Nolan invites himself along too and once there Trudy discovers both men have been lying to her.Apart from some mildly entertaining banter between Trudy and her sister, there was little to like about this novella. Both men, and a woman in the line, try to buy it from her, but Trudy holds onto it and then agrees to go to a remote warehouse with Reese where he has heard the current year's version can be found. Trudy eventually discovers a battered version from the previous year and decides it will have to do. While looking, she meets Nolan, who dated and then dumped her, and Reese, a man who recently assisted her father, an emotionally unavailable professor. This is important because his father, who has run off with his nanny, promised him Santa would bring it for Christmas, but has failed to buy it. Trudy is in a toy shop on Christmas Eve, trying to buy this year's "hot toy", which has in fact been unavailable since Thanksgiving, for her nephew. I received a copy of this from the publisher via NetGalley.
