I absolutely love The Holiday Honeymoon Switch! Holly and Ivy have a beautiful and deep friendship. They are both strong characters individually and together. I love how the book was written between Holly in New York and Ivy in Hawaii. The juxtaposition between the two locations was done really well. The romance in both stories is so sweet and magical. This book is one of my favorite holiday romance books now!

This was a sweet festive romance that follows two best friends who swap their Christmas holiday plans. After Holly's wedding is cancelled at the last minute, the besties decide that Ivy (yes, the BFFs are Holly and Ivy) will go on Holly's honeymoon and Ivy will take Holly's vacation in a secluded cabin for some much-needed quality alone time.

The story has a mild The Holiday meets The Unhoneymooners vibe (with less spice and banter), but the highlight for me was the bond between the two besties, Holly and Ivy. I enjoyed getting POVs from both women and sure, there's some InstaLove and a quick romantic turnaround for Holly that will require readers to go with the flow, but overall, this was an enjoyable, wholesome holiday romance that's has a sprinkle of low spice and is a good pick to share with your own BFF this holiday season.
