Love, Holly by Emily Stone
4.0
My favorite Emily Stone book so far!
4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Holly is in a car crash on Christmas Eve that leaves her relationship with her sister incredibly fractured. She joins a Dear Stranger letter program that leads her to track down an older woman and they bond over having both been driving in a car crash. Their relationship also leads Holly to reconnect with a man she met on the day of her crash.
This book is full of heavy topics - car crashes, miscarriage, loss, cancer, and family abandonment. Like her other books Emily Stone handles this very well! In this novel she touches on blame and the idea of fate. I loved Emma and Holly’s relationship so much and enjoyed reading it develop throughout the book.
I think there was an awful lot of blame back and forth and that got a little annoying but overall it was handled well. I also really enjoyed that the sad part of the book happened at the beginning rather than the end like Stone’s other novels. Her books are always sold as Christmas novels but this book takes place over a year and could be read at any time.
