This is definitely Emily Stone’s best book!!
After a Christmas Eve car crash, Holly’s life is turned upside-down. Little did she know that joining a Dear Stranger letter writing program would be just what she needs to bring a joy, happiness and fate into her life.
If you are looking for a heartwarming and emotional Christmas book that will probably make you cry both sad and happy tears, do not skip on Love, Holly. It is a story about accidents, blame and grief and finding yourself as you learn to accept and forgive. Emily Stone does a great job exploring the power of fate, which is one of my favorite themes, as well as second chances not only with love but also with family. The main characters, as well as the supporting, were multi-dimensional and complex, with flaws that felt authentic and allowed for great character growth. Also, all the letters written throughout the story melted my heart.
Read if you like:
-Raw and emotional romances
-UK setting
-Timelines that span across a year
-Stories about fate and timing
-Holiday reads
-The process of grief, acceptance and forgiveness

"But if the universe cared enough to throw me in your path and change the course of both of our lives, then I feel sure that it will allow us to see each other again, one day. "
This book was unexpected and wonderful. It truly made me face a lot of the grief I have held on to for years. Forgiveness, healing, fate, and friendship. What more could you ask for?

This story was very cute and wholesome. I’m not the biggest fan of contemporary romances. Especially not hallmark ones either, BUT I enjoyed the story very much and felt it touched on some deep themes of loss and mourning and blame and accidents and recovery and reconciliation.
Love the story but I was reading so long just to find the good part. The first half moved very slow.

This was another cute holiday romance + heartstring book from Emily Stone. I didn’t get quite as wrapped up in the story as her others.
