Review: In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren

 


🎄 Review: In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren 🎄

What it’s about:

Maelyn Jones is finally getting a reprieve from her stagnant life with the holiday vacation she’s looked forward to every year for her whole life. The family filled cabin holiday packed with tradition and festivity is everything she needs until it ends in disaster. Not only did she kiss the wrong person, the cabin that holds her most sacred family memories is being sold. In a desperate moment on her way to the airport, Mae asks the universe to show her what will maker her happy. In the next moment, her car is crashing and she wakes up on an airplane. Only, it’s the same plane she was already on a few days ago. Maelyn is now living the same holiday over again, and again with one goal: fix her mistakes and get what she’s always wanted. Maybe this is the universe giving her a second chance, but you know what they say: be careful what you wish for. 


My thoughts:

My favorite romance author duo is back with a perfect holiday read! CLo have done it again, perfectly capturing heartwarming, heart-stopping feelings wrapped in Christmas cheer. I devoured this book, as I have every other CLo novel I have read and loved. I went into this book without knowing about the Groundhog Day aspect but ended up really enjoying the storyline anyways. I especially enjoyed the chosen family dynamics and festive feelings the book inspired. All of the characters were distinct personality wise, and really added to the stories overall entertainment. CLo always manage to write stories that I don’t want to put down. My only issues with the book were what I felt was a slower start and the initial story turned me off of Andrew as a love interest, however as the story progressed I did end up liking him a lot more. Honestly, I just tend to fall less for the “too perfect” boys in the story, as I enjoy more flawed characters. 

In the end I really enjoyed this! I think it’s hard for these types of stories not to get too repetitive and I don’t feel that way here. It truly is the perfect holiday pick me up I think we could all use this year. I went into this book wanting to have fun and feel entertained by a cute romance and it accomplished just that. Plus, the ending was just so heartwarming and sweet, I had no choice but to close the book smiling. 


Rating:★★★★/5
