My main gripe with this book is the romance. Andrew is the main love interest but in the first few chapters were introduce to a character called Theo where he and Maelyn share a drunken kiss. Throughout the entire novel I was waiting for this plot point to come ahead and it felt like a bomb waiting to burst but it was shoved to end for an ending conflict. The moments between Maelyn and Andrew felt forced. She and Andrew are childhood friends which should have been a plus but we are not given details about their interactions in the past unlike with Theo. With Theo, passing conversations and in Maelyn's mind, we are given context clues behind their relationship in the past. We are given more moments with Theo then with Andrew. Maelyn and Theo seem more like friends then with Andrew. I even teared up because of Maelyn and Theo's friendship. In the past Maelyn and Theo spend a lot of time together but in the novel they barely spend any time together and I could understand Theo's loneliness but it was never used as an actual plot point.
Okay since we got that out of the way, other problems I had with the book is too many family members to keep track of and they weren't important. The time loop is only used at the beginning and becomes a problem in the ending. The only reason why I am giving it 2 stars because the atmosphere was the best part. The Christmas Vibes are off the charts.
In a Holidaze was not for me, the first half I was taking my time and then the second half I was speeding through because I wasn't enjoying it anymore.
