A great holiday romance with strong friendships playing an important role. 

This was a cute holiday read! It read very quickly and was perfect for a travel day. The author did a great job flipping between Holly and Ivy’s stories. I did prefer one over the other bit that’s to be expected. I could easily see this as a Hallmark holiday movie.

Thanks to the publisher, author and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the copy. Julia McKay is the pen name of Marissa Stapely, who has co-authored other Christmas novels under Maggie Knox. The Holiday Honeymoon Switch follows two best friends, Holly and Ivy, as they navigate a difficult Christmas season. Holly was supposed to marry the love of her life and go on her honeymoon to Kaui, but her fiancé had a different idea. Ivy had a trip planned to upstate New York to paint. They decide to switch vacations and they may end up getting their happily ever after. The Holiday Honeymoon Switch is a feel good Christmas story. It’s a nice easy read with a happy ending.
