A Christmas rom-com where "The Holiday" takes place in Hawaii & New York. It was a pretty standard holiday romance & nothing really stood out.
The MCs were ok, although I thought that their friendship (especially on Holly's end) bordered on codependency sometimes. The story was pretty insta-lovey, too, which I didn't love. There seemed to be enough time in the book to develop the relationships more, so I'm not sure why it didn't happen.
The writing in the epilogue made me cringe because instead of just saying what had happened in the year since the last chapter, it was written as if the characters were saying everything to each other as a recap. I just can't see anyone talking things out like that.
