This book is a very fun time! Why read one romcom when you can have two happening at the same time! This book pairs well with a screw-top rosé, for those that like a little wine with their romance too.
Holly is dumped by her fiance the night before their wedding. With a no-refund honeymoon worth too much, Holly decides to give it to her maid of honor and best friend, Ivy, to go have an art retreat of her dreams. With that, Holly gets to wallow in her feels in an eco-cabin instead. At this point, we get the two wonderfully sweet stories of Holly and her high school academic rival Aidan, and Ivy falling for the too-hot, too-perfect Oliver in Hawaii.
While Holly struggles with mourning the life she had envisioned, she finds comfort in the small town of Krimbo and how tight-knit their community is. In Hawaii, Ivy explores why she feels the need for a stable 9-5 job while falling in love with a man that travels with the seasons.
The Holiday Honeymoon Switch is perfectly balanced between holiday romance and just an all around great story of friends supporting and ubderstanding each other through thick and thin.

Super cute holiday rom-com. I wouldn't say that it has a super Christmasy vibe aside from a couple little hints. So if you are looking for something super holiday themed, this isn't. But also, if you can't read holiday books outside of December, this one probably wouldn't bother you.

Don’t be fooled by the cover and first chapters— this is NOT a sapphic best friends to lovers. It was fine but I hate live at first sight.

This was cute! I actually happened to be in Kauai while reading it, so that was fun since that's where Ivy ended up going in the book, too.
I enjoyed the two different love stories, and the characters! I loved the friendship between Holly and Ivy. It was nice to have a story that revolved, not only around some really cute romances, but around a true friendship, as well.
It felt like things moved a little quickly for each of the characters and their relationships - a sort of "instalove", which isn't necessarily my favorite trope. But in spite of that, I enjoyed the book overall! It was a fun read.
