REVIEW ➞ In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren

BLURB ➞

One Christmas wish, two brothers, and a lifetime of hope are on the line for hapless Maelyn Jones in In a Holidaze, the quintessential holiday romantic novel by Christina Lauren, the New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…but not for Maelyn Jones. She’s living with her parents, hates her going-nowhere job, and has just made a romantic error of epic proportions.

But perhaps worst of all, this is the last Christmas Mae will be at her favorite place in the world—the snowy Utah cabin where she and her family have spent every holiday since she was born, along with two other beloved families. Mentally melting down as she drives away from the cabin for the final time, Mae throws out what she thinks is a simple plea to the universe: Please. Show me what will make me happy.

The next thing she knows, tires screech and metal collides, everything goes black. But when Mae gasps awake…she’s on an airplane bound for Utah, where she begins the same holiday all over again. With one hilarious disaster after another sending her back to the plane, Mae must figure out how to break free of the strange time loop—and finally get her true love under the mistletoe.

Jam-packed with yuletide cheer, an unforgettable cast of characters, and Christina Lauren’s trademark “downright hilarious” (Helen Hoang, author of The Bride Test) hijinks, this swoon-worthy romantic read will make you believe in the power of wishes and the magic of the holidays.


Call me harlot. Call me impulsive Call me hungover. No one ever has before, but someone absolutely should this morning. Last night was a disaster.


ARC REVIEW ➞

In a Holidaze is a feel good holiday romance that will leave you swooning and smiling.

Mae is stuck reliving December 20th. She is in a funk. She isn’t happy with her job, she is living with her parents. The one bright spot is spending the holidays at a cabin in Utah that is owner by long time family friends, only she founds that it will be the last holiday there.

I love all the family traditions throughout this story and really just the family vibe throughout the story itself. Benny is one of my favorite characters and I love how he helps Mae at the beginning. Mae and Andrew though. I completely loved them. The friendship, their relationship and the slow burn.

Reading In a Holidaze is like watching a Hallmark movie. They story line is perfect and the way the cabin and everything is describe paints such a vivid picture in your mind.

If you’re looking for a feel good holiday romance with a little groundhog day vibes this is on you’ll want to check out!
