Book 39/30.
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
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.
This was my third Christina Lauren read, the other two being Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating and The Unhoneymooners that I rated 4 stars. In a Holidaze was a quick read, but sadly not very interesting. Maelyn and Andrew, the FMC and MMC, both read like teenagers rather than a 26 year old woman and a 30 year old man. The setting was lovely, the secondary characters were okay albeit so many that it took me about a third of the book to figure out who is who 😐, but the time travelling concept was not well-executed. Also, if I can never again read another book with a plotline/love triangle involving two brothers that will suit me just fine as I find the trope extremely overdone and, worse than that, icky.
