The Afterlife of Holly Chase
by Cynthia Hand
This book was unexpected.
I love the idea of a Scrooge retelling but executing a retelling can get tricky. Hand delivered an impactful story that maintained originality while staying true to the heart of Christmas (as Boz would say).
Holly Chase is a Scrooge... who does not find redemption in life and must play the part of the Ghost of Christmas past as her own eternal hell. One Christmas she is tasked with helping a new Scrooge but ends up finding out more about herself in the process.
