3.6 AVERAGE


Holly’s heart is shattered after her fiancé dumps her the night before their Christmas wedding. To help her heal, her bestie Ivy offers a unique plan: they’ll swap holidays! Ivy takes Holly’s non-refundable beach honeymoon in Kauai, while Holly goes on Ivy’s eco-friendly winter cabin retreat. Both women set out to relax and focus on themselves, but fate has other plans in store. They never imagined finding true love amidst these beautiful vacations.

This was my favorite holiday read of the year. It was a delightful mix of cuteness, humor, and romance. And Brittany Pressley did a great job narrating the audiobook.

If you liked “The Holiday” this gives very similar vibes. I adored the friendship factor in this holiday romcom. 3.5 stars

3.75 maybe? This reminded me of The UnHoneymooners meets The Holiday Swap. I wished it wasn’t all crammed into 2 weeks! It took an element of belief out of it for me. I liked the concept and the romances. I will always love a grand gesture.
I think I liked the Hawaii plot more, but I wasn’t bored listening to the Hudson Valley one AT ALL.
I also think this could have worked better if they were twins or sisters. I can’t put my finger on why, maybe it’s because of the unhoneymooners

Good for what it was which is Hallmark movie as a book: predictable but cute, which is exactly what I was expecting.
