The Holiday Honeymoon Switch
by Julia McKay
This had a promising start with its unique setup. Jilted by her fiancé, Holly swaps her Hawaiian honeymoon plans for Ivy’s secluded, wintry cabin in the Hudson Valley. Meanwhile, Ivy takes Holly’s place in Hawaii. The contrast in settings—balmy beaches vs cozy, snowy woods—was perfect, offering the best of both worlds.
I really liked the friendship between Holly and Ivy. Their bond felt so genuine and heartfelt. It was this relationship that kept me invested in the story. They were always there for each other, always ready to drop everything at a moment’s notice. It was sweet.

As you might expect, they each meet someone special during their travels. Splitting the focus between two couples is fun, but I felt there wasn’t enough depth here. The characters themselves were certainly likeable, but the insta-love was unbearable—especially in Holly's situation. She’d just been engaged, and within a week, she’s in love with someone new. It felt way too fast and unrealistic to me.
