As someone who adores the movie The Holiday, I knew I’d be into this book. And I was correct. This is such a sweet story about making a change and confronting your habits to truly find yourself and what makes you happy. All four of the main characters are lovely, complex people, and their relationships and communication seems so normal and well-adjusted (most of the time). This book does a good job of not falling into too many overdone romance tropes, while still being a heartwarming holiday rom-com to rival the best of them. There’s a lot going on, but it’s so fun and funny and just a lovely read.
