In a Holidaze

3.5-4 stars. Groundhog Day meets Christmas in this fun read from Christina Lauren. Maelyn Jones, unhappy with her life and unsure of what to do next, makes a wish that the universe would show her what would make her happy. By doing so, she is transported back to the days leading up to Christmas when her family and friends travel to their Christmas cabin retreat in Utah as they do every year. She must relive the events of the holiday over and over again until she finds the right path that will lead to her happiness.

This was a really sweet read and definitely gave me the warm, fuzzy feelings that Christmas always brings. There are a lot of characters in this book and it was tough to keep them all straight but I loved the dynamic that the three different families had with each other. The romance is a typical friends-to-lovers with a little bit of a love triangle thrown in. To be honest, I was more into Theo and I wish his friendship with Mae would have been a bit more fleshed out. Or the entire sub-plot of him liking Mae should have been omitted because we really didn't see much of it on the page, we were only told about it. Would definitely recommend, especially to anyone who enjoys Hallmark Christmas movies.
