Super cuuute ! It was pretty cliché but overall a very nice and light read and perfect for Christmas time!

The Afterlife of Holly Chase is a fun holiday read. This YA novel is a retelling/spin on Dicken's Christmas Carol.
Holly Chase is a spoiled California 17 year old with a dad who makes movies and a recently dead snob of a step mother. One Christmas Holly is visited by 3 spirits (Xmas past, present and future) who tell her she needs to turn her life around and that if she doesn't she will die. Well, she doesn't listen and she dies. The vast majority of the story happens after she dies... She "wakes up" in NYC and is told she will be working for the super secret Project Scrooge where she will now play the role of the Ghost of Christmas Past.
This was a fun twist on the Dicken's tale and a great read for the holiday season. I recommend this to people looking for a holiday read.

This was great. It had way more substance than I expected for a Christmas read. I found the ending perfect, it was the right amount of bitter and sweet.

It was mediocre at best. I'm kind of biased, however, because I'm personally not a huge fan of Christmas books, but it was an interesting take on A Christmas Carol retelling. The writing was meh, but the ending was pretty solid.

I didn't really like the introduction of Holly to Project Scrooge, felt like I missed out alot. I almost put down the book but the rest of the story really compelled me to continue reading.
