Description

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER One Christmas wish, two brothers, and a lifetime of hope are on the line for hapless Maelyn Jones in In a Holidaze, the quintessential holiday romantic novel by Christina Lauren, the New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners. It’s the most wonderful time of the year…but not for Maelyn Jones. She’s living with her parents, hates her going-nowhere job, and has just made a romantic error of epic proportions. But perhaps worst of all, this is the last Christmas Mae will be at her favorite place in the world—the snowy Utah cabin where she and her family have spent every holiday since she was born, along with two other beloved families. Mentally melting down as she drives away from the cabin for the final time, Mae throws out what she thinks is a simple plea to the universe: Please. Show me what will make me happy. The next thing she knows, tires screech and metal collides, everything goes black. But when Mae gasps awake…she’s on an airplane bound for Utah, where she begins the same holiday all over again. With one hilarious disaster after another sending her back to the plane, Mae must figure out how to break free of the strange time loop—and finally get her true love under the mistletoe. Jam-packed with yuletide cheer, an unforgettable cast of characters, and Christina Lauren’s trademark “downright hilarious” (Helen Hoang, author of The Bride Test) hijinks, this swoon-worthy romantic read will make you believe in the power of wishes and the magic of the holidays.

  • loved it!
This is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. The time loop element was done right. Not over used. I do wish it had been used a couple more times but having to die to restart the loop kind of sucks. The writing is fantastic. The main characters have so much chemistry It works. And the side characters are integral to the story. There are no wasted characters. There’s humor, romance, and friendship. And there’s even some spice. But it’s more of a simmer than hot. Maybe one 🌶️. ... show more

  • sweet!
As I was reading this, I was thinking this should definitely be next year’s Netflix Christmas Movie. And sure enough, it’s been picked up! Maelyn’s favorite place in the world is the cabin owned by her parent’s friends from college. Every Christmas and every fourth of July, 3 families converge on the cabin to take part in the same traditions. And Mae loves all of it. Including her friend Andrew who she’s been in love with for approximately half of her life. But according to their families, she’s supposed to marry his younger brother Theo who she only sees as a brother. Mae goes through her week at the cabin and it is disastrous. And then while she and her family are on the way to the airport to go home, they are hit by a truck. And when Mae wakes up, she’s on her way back to the cabin. Because this week hasn’t happened yet and she’s got a chance to do it over. The only person she confides in is Benny the bachelor and together they figure out what wrongs to right. This book is about going for what you want instead of what’s expected of you. It’s about occasionally putting yourself first. And it’s about figuring out what actually makes you happy. It was very cute ... show more

  • second chances and the magic of the holidays
The story follows Maelyn Jones, who finds herself stuck in a Groundhog Day-like time loop during her family’s annual Christmas vacation. After a particularly rough year, Mae’s one wish is to find out what truly makes her happy. When she wakes up on the plane heading back to the cabin after a disastrous end to the trip, she realizes she has a chance to relive the holiday and maybe even rewrite her future. Mae’s journey is full of humor, heart, and a bit of holiday magic. As a mom, I found her relatable—trying to find balance and happiness amidst the chaos of life. Plus, the cozy, festive setting of the cabin and the warmth of her family traditions made me want to curl up with a hot cocoa and savor every page. Christina Lauren’s writing is engaging and fun, with just the right amount of romance and self-discovery. Mae’s attempts to break out of her loop are both hilarious and touching, and watching her navigate the ups and downs of her relationships is truly heartwarming. It’s like a perfect holiday movie in book form, with all the feels you want this time of year. If you’re in the mood for a lighthearted, uplifting read that’ll leave you smiling, "In a Holidaze" is definitely worth picking up. It’s the kind of book that makes you believe in second chances and the magic of the holidays. ... show more

  • so cute
Thought I would read a Christmas book to get me in the holiday spirit. I really enjoyed The Paradise Problem. This is the perfect blend of “Groundhog day”, “hallmark Christmas movie”, and romantic comedy with a tiny bit of spice. I thought it was really cute and fun and I enjoyed it a lot.

  • Flummoxing Festive Novel
I admit this is my first read of Christina Lauren and I’m not sure what I expected. In a Holidaze is a festive, quirky, romance that has a ‘ground hog day’ type plot. Meaning? The days repeat themselves and one lucky person, Mae in this case, gets to be driven batty over it. In a Holidaze is a standalone book (YES STANDALONES STILL EXIST) and no other books have to be read prior to this one… or after. Let’s all take a moment to appreciate a good standalone book. TO THE REVIEW “I am the human equivalent of a fart that clears a room.” - Christina Lauren, In a Holidaze As I mentioned above, this was my first Christina Lauren book and I think I went in with a lot of hype. Not that the book wasn’t good, just for me I was expecting a bit more? Things I liked: The dialogue - hysterical and so well done Uncle Benny - I feel like he needs his own book after this haha The plot - Ground hog day is a hard sell but it’s done really well for this The plot is solid and Christina Lauren does a wonderful job giving the ominous vibe of how and when a day will reset. The lack of control the overall character has in their situation. She also has done a wonderful job projecting the hopelessness. Reading through each day/trial is enjoyable. The dialogue is HYSTERICAL and Uncle Benny deserves the Gold Medal for best family member. #nospoils #TeamBenny However, I will say the pairing left me a litttle wanting. I made it about half way through and I still wasn’t feeling the romantic vibes. It felt off. Not sure if that was intentional or not. If so, well don - if not, it made the romance just a bit ‘meh’ for me. It started to recover around 75% but even then I didn’t fully ship the pairing. It could have been due to the plot itself. The plot is very isolating as far as other character interaction. Ultimately, In a Holidaze was a fun and quick read. I would recommend it to anyone who loves the holiday/winter season and unique romance. The characters are relatable and their family is wonderful to read about. Overall rating: 3.5 Plot: 4 Character Development: 3 Dialogue: 4 Writing: 3 Happy Reading, Ash ... show more
