The Holiday Honeymoon Switch by Julia McKay

DID NOT FINISH: 80%

---

Got it! Let me rewrite it to sound more conversational and like something you might naturally say. 

 

I was really excited about this book based on the description, but it just didn’t work for me. The romances felt way too rushed—both main characters fall in love in just nine days. One of them had literally been dumped the night before her wedding, which made it even harder to believe. 

 

The writing also didn’t click for me. It felt a little repetitive, like I was just getting a play-by-play of everything that happened instead of being drawn into the story. A lot of sentences started the same way, which made it feel flat, and the way emotions were described didn’t really capture the depth I wanted. 

 

Big thanks to Julia McKay, Putnam Books, and NetGalley for the ARC. While this one wasn’t for me, I’m sure it’ll appeal to other readers.
