The Afterlife of Holly Chase by Cynthia Hand

4.0

I am not really familiar with the whole Christmas Carol thing, I only remember watching a Barbie movie of the sort so it was a bit confusing for me at the beginning, the whole characters' names that I have no clue about but I grew used to it. And it was, and I cannot stress this enough, really, really an interesting story. I mean, I guessed some plot twists but was still oblivious to the biggest one in the end sooo, that's what counts right? I loved how the main character was not the usual one, she was different and it was hilarious to read from her perspective, reading her sarcastic comments. And I really loved Ethan too, I was angry how the company saw him as a bad, materialist, selfish money-lover, the boy only needed help.

Read this book if you want to experience something different, I finished it in two settings, literally and now I'm thinking about reading Christmas Carol by Dickens, see how the original story is.
