On the night before her Christmas wedding, Holly Beech’s fiancé breaks it off. She’s too devastated to go on their honeymoon in Hawaii, so she sends her best friend Ivy Casey on the trip instead. Holly takes Ivy’s solo trip to a winter cabin in a small town. When Ivy arrives in Hawaii, she discovers that Holly’s ex-fiancé decided to go on the honeymoon with his new girlfriend. She finds a new place to stay with the bartender at the resort. Holly meets her teenage rival and crush in the small town on her trip. Both women have vacation flings that develop into real feelings.

This was a cute holiday romance. It started with heartbreak for Holly, but the rest of the story was positive and uplifting. Both women had very different holidays, with Ivy in tropical Hawaii and Holly in a Christmasy small town. It had such a cute, heartwarming ending!

The Holiday Honeymoon Switch is a fun holiday rom com!

⭐️⭐️⭐️.75 It was good but I didn’t love the end at all. I barely remember how it ended. But I do. Painter girl’s story was more fun. But there was stuff that was so so annoying specifically that guy and his girl who sucked. There were stuff that were cute. That you’re enough and loved stuff from lawyer girls guy. Cute that the men became bffs too cause that’s going to have to be my man with Mathilde’s. But yeah just a fun Christmas read. Better than a hallmark movie.

I listened to this in one day, suchhhh a cute besties romcom! I loved the dual POV and how each character felt developed without wasting a bunch of time on their backstories. I might be biased because this reminded me so much of my best friend and I but I loved everything about this

 The Holiday Honeymoon Switch perfectly captures the energy of a fun holiday movie you watch with your best friend with a cup of spiked hot chocolate. Holly and Ivy are two best friends, and that friendship is at the forefront of this book. Yes, it's a holiday rom-com, but Holly and Ivy's friendship is the real focus. these two will fly across the country at the drop of a hat for each other. To me, the best part of that is that even they are also not safe from the third act (friendship) break-up.
The two male romantic leads are straight out of hallmark ( I say that with love I LOVE hallmark), one man is a child hood/smalltown/ billionaire mashed all up into one eco-superman, and the other is a bartender/artist from Hawaii.
It was cute! I had fun
