This book was good, and I enjoyed it. When I first started it, I thought it was going to be a huge disappointment, but it ended up getting so much better. I thought I didn't like where this story was going, but I actually ended up hating it a lot less than I thought I would, and as time went on, I found I actually started to love how that particular aspect of the story was handled. I loved it especially at the end. The main character, Holly, was just a bad person all around. This was to be expected going into it, as she is a failed scrooge that did not want to change. I loved watching her growth throughout the story and how she learns to see points of view of the world. I was bored of the story at times, and I will say sometimes there were time skips that bothered me a little bit. I know why, because this book does span a long period of time, but I feel like the skips were done and explained away lazily with a quick recap of anything that had happened during that period. Other than those little things, though, I really enjoyed this book, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun Christmas story!

(Tried to read this in August 2023)
There was just NO reason at all for me to put up with this character that was annoying AF.
I knew that even if I pushed through I would've given this 1 or 2 stars and what's the point on wasting my time like that.
I'm still interested on the original A Christmas Carol book though.

Interesting from page the first to the last page. It took me a while to finished listening to it but it was only because I was in an audiobook reading slump.. because I every time I would go pick it up I would think “I’m still enjoying this book so much”. And that is why I still finished it despite of the slump. It’s a beautiful story!

I found this book boring and the character’s unlikeable. I gave it a 2 and not I 1 because it was an okay ending.
