Three Holidays and a Wedding by Marissa Stapley, Uzma Jalaluddin
5.0
This book is for those of us who want a funny, festive, and multi-faith rom-com that celebrates love, family, and the magic of the holiday season. Three Holidays and a Wedding by Uzma Jalaluddin & Marissa Stapley is a delightful and heartwarming holiday romance that beautifully weaves together the lives of two very different women.
Meet Anna and Maryam. Their paths intersect during a snowstorm-induced emergency landing, and fate throws them together in the small, charming town of Snow Falls. Talk about a unique premise! Imagine Christmas, Ramadan, and Hanukkah all falling at the same time. Anna and Maryam, strangers-turned-friends, find themselves snowbound along with the cast and crew of a holiday romance movie, nosy family members, and their lifelong crushes.
I thought the setting was utterly charming. The snowy backdrop of Snow Falls adds to the cozy and festive atmosphere. The town becomes a character in itself, enhancing the magic of the story. Jalaluddin and Stapley crafted authentic characters that were easy to love. Anna and Maryam are relatable, flawed, and endearing. Their interactions, hopes, and fears resonated with me as a reader. The romantic tension also kept me turning the pages! As Anna feels the magic of an unexpected new love and Maryam opens her heart, the chemistry sizzles.
Whether you're curled up by the fireplace or traveling home for the holidays, this book will warm your heart. Jalaluddin and Stapley have created a memorable tale that reminds us of the joy of unexpected connections.
