Escaping to NYU for college didn’t turn out the way Cameron planned—he’s flunking his theater classes, about to lose his scholarship, and he still hasn’t found anyone he can call his “people.” When he gets home for winter break, he’s so desperate to avoid a Conversation with his dad that he takes the first acting job he can get—as a mall elf. Despite how Scroogey he feels, the plus side is that there’s a cash prize for the most festive of Santa’s helpers. But the competition is fierce—especially from fellow elf Marco.

Elf-ing Exhausting
Revisado: 01-31-25
Darling, "Finding My Elf"? More like "Finding My Will to Live" after slogging through this sugary mess. Look, I get paid the big bucks to read, and honey, sometimes that means wading through the literary equivalent of a fruitcake that's been sitting out since last Christmas.
Dave Valdes tries to serve up a holiday rom-com, but this one's got all the spice of a gingerbread man who's lost his buttons. College boy Cameron comes home, throws on some elf shoes, and falls for Marco – groundbreaking, I know. The characters are flatter than a Christmas cookie, and their dialogue? Let's just say Hallmark called and they want their clichés back.
The plot? Predictable as a Mariah Carey Christmas special. Elf competition? Honey, please. The only competition here is between the reader and their mounting boredom. Valdes tries to sprinkle in some holiday cheer, but it comes across as fake as a plastic Christmas tree.
Bottom line, darling? This book is a stocking stuffer best left unopened. If you're looking for a festive read that won't make you want to pour eggnog into your ears, keep searching. You deserve better, and frankly, so do I.

In this Audible Original “mini-memoir”, the Academy Award-winning star of Little Miss Sunshine and Argo looks back on his life as a series of philosophical turning points, learning experiences, and a-ha moments. Drawn from a collection of seemingly inexplicable stories and encounters from Arkin's 84 years on this planet, Out of My Mind is a candid, relatable and delightfully irreverent take on how one man went searching for meaning and ended up discovering himself.

Phenomenal. “Everything changes”... so simple yet so illuminating. Thank you, Mr. Arkin, for such beautiful storytelling.
