G. P. Putnam's Sons, 2024. 342 pages. Romance
Holly Beech and Ivy Casey are bury-the-body besties. They’re so in sync, they even look alike. When Holly’s fiancé jilts her, leaving her in shock and with a nonrefundable honeymoon, Holly convinces Ivy to switch places. Ivy will go on the Hawaiian honeymoon her best friend can’t bear to take alone, while Holly escapes to Ivy’s rented Hudson Valley cabin to binge-watch holiday movies and heal.
If you watch The Holiday every year and love a romance with strong female friendship, this is the perfect read for this time of year. McKay manages to balance both Holly and Ivy’s stories with attention to detail and good character development. The tale’s two locales evoke holiday escapes to satisfy the imagination of both a snowy and a tropical Christmastime. The audiobook also offers great narration by Brittany Pressley.
