If you love the movie Groundhog day, then this book is for you. I loved the repeating days bit and the slow build toward the romance. Mae is stuck repeating the same stretch of days all because she asked the universe a question. The universe is working towards helping her achieve her happiness and shenanigans occur. I enjoyed Andrew waking up to the possibility of a relationship with Mae. And everyone needs a Benny in their life. Another wonderful book by this duo.

Im not a huge fan of books that go back in time and repeat the day over and over but somehow with the magic of Christmas the authors made this one work! It’s a very cute Christmas story that would make a fabulous hallmark movie! I highly recommend for a fun light read!

I squealed when I finished this book; it was that good.

I generally have yet to be disappointed by a Christina Lauren book, but man, they really hit it out of the park for me in this one. Unrequited crush on a family friend? Check. Possible love triangle? Check. Surprise time travel à la Groundhog's Day? Check. Endless holiday cheer? ERMAHGERD CHECK.

I love speculative fiction. I love romance. I adore Christmas. I couldn't love this book more.

Actually, that's not strictly true -- I could have done with some more heat in this one -- In a Holidaze is definitely more of a fluffy read than a steamy one, but it's Christmas, so I'll allow it. This is a very cute, low-angst, cozy read that pairs very well with hot cocoa with lots of marshmallows and fresh gingerbread.

I'll be reading this again when the snow falls.

Thanks so much to NetGalley and Gallery books for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a solid 3.5 stars for me! I love Christina Lauren and was so excited to hear they were doing a Christmas book! I absolutely loved the setting of Park City but the Groundhog Day theme threw me for a bit of a loop. I felt like the beginning was a little slow paced as she was going back to the same day over and over. Once we got past that, the book really picked up for me. Loved Mae and Andrew and enjoyed that Mae was really true to finding herself in the end. Really enjoyed getting to know all the characters and the tight knit family bond. Has me excited for the holiday season! Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun holiday themed romance and more!

Wow, I really enjoyed this story! This is the first book I have read by Christine Lauren and it was a wonderful Christmas story. This book went more in depth then most Christmas stories and when I was done reading it, it felt like the story was complete. Definitely a Christmas story that will give you the feels!! Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for a chance to read an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is one of those books that I liked but didn't like at the same time. I feel like this team of authors is a hit or miss for me. I either really love their books, or I am just "eh" with their books. With this one, I'm a little above "eh" but not in love.

I like the premise of the plot. It's cute. And I thought it would be fun. Each time that time went back to the same day, I found myself a little bored. I just wanted the story to get on with the good stuff. I started to lose patience with the whole "groundhog day" scenario.

The characters were okay for me. I didn't love them, but I did like them. I did want to see them get their happily ever after given everything that happens in the book. I just didn't feel a huge connection with them until isht hit the fan. Then all bets were off.

Overall, this is a cute book. I may have been a little underwhelmed in the first part of the book, but it did pick up. I am glad I read it. It's sure to be a hit with many!

I will ALWAYS one-click anything and everything Christina Lauren writes. This duo is one of my favorites and even if some of their books aren't 5-star reads, they are still enjoyable.

I absolutely loved this book. Not only was I ready to get in the holiday spirit (this year has been one for the record books and can't end soon enough), but the story was original and help my interest the entire time!

I can't wait to get my hands on more books from these two lovely ladies!

I was so excited to read this book. Any Christina Lauren book is a fun read for me. In a Holidaze was a slow start for me, the time loop was not something I enjoyed. I liked the characters, all of them! In fact, I'd like to know a little more about them. The setting for the story seems like so much fun. I love tradition and am slow to change but this book made me think of all the fun I could be missing by being tied to tradition.

This is a cute holiday read that also involves a time loop storyline. The main character, Mae, is well written and interesting, and you're rooting for her to find a way out of this predicament. The side characters that make up the rest of this chosen family are also very well done and the depiction of a blended and chosen family itself is a nice part of the story. In the end, the story ends up more romance than time travel, but it would still be a light and entertaining Christmastime read.

Christina Lauren books are a must read for me. I've read almost all of their books, and I have loved all of them. But this one fell short for me. I loved the characters, as always, but the time loop did not do it for me. I personally did not enjoy that aspect of the book. Once she got to experience time without it starting over, I really started to enjoy the book.

I absolutely love these authors and have read all of their books. But this was probably my least favorite. What I love about their books is that I can believe the story could happen in real life. The "time loop" aspect of this book ruined that for me.

I usually love Christina Lauren books - really, their books are what made me fall in love with contemporary romances/rom-coms - so it pains me to only view In a Holidaze as a 2.5 star book. I was so excited for this one, but it really fell flat for me. I felt like there wasn't enough space/time to connect with any of the characters, and I was left disappointed by the romance. I was lead to believe there would be a love triangle, but it was really just two people briefly sneaking around before the other person finds out what happened and then...reacts briefly. I wasn't particularly moved by Maelyn and Andrew's romance, couldn't figure out what exactly they saw in each other, and didn't see enough of her and Theo to understand why everyone was worried Theo would be upset. And usually, Christina Lauren writes very strong women, Mae just...seemed immature. Overall, I thought this story was going to take a very different route. I'm definitely in the minority though! And, of course, In a Holidaze had its good points: it's funny and clever, has enjoyable side characters, and all the usual you expect from Christina Lauren. It's definitely more of a closed-door romance though, and, really, maybe the romance wasn't super necessary anyway? The story could have easily just been about Maelyn having to do-over the holidays to find what's right for her, and that doesn't always have to be a man. Still, it's a fun and quick read for the holidays.

I thoroughly enjoyed this romance filled with holiday fun, do-overs, and a house full of found family and lifelong friends.

The time loop where Mae, the main female character, gets sent back to relive her holiday vacation, is a little eye-roll worthy at times, but it's fun! She asks the universe to show her what will make her happy, and then she has to figure it out. And then try again. And again...

It's an enjoyable, heartwarming story about claiming what you want and going for it. Mae is surrounded by a cast of funny, supportive family and friends. A fun Christmas-in-August read that will be great in winter as well. This is my first Christina Lauren book and will definitely not be my last!

I absolutely fell in love with this book!! Christina Lauren is a brand new author to me but will now be an automatic buy. This book was fun and entertaining. I was glued to it from beginning to end. Mae and Andrew’s character growth And relationship jumped right off the page. I loved the “family” dynamic in this story. It was refreshing to see friends acting as family. The groundhog part of the story was a unique twist on a hallmark type story. Bravo!!!

A perfect made for Hallmark book-turned-movie that has me craving the Christmas season, this was a really cute story about love and finding the courage to go after what you want.

While the premise itself is recognizable on the surface, I did like the twist of how the universe showed her she was on the wrong path. Mae had good chemistry with her guy and I loved the inside jokes interspersed throughout that showed the long history these families had with each other.

My biggest issue is that the characters didn’t feel the ages they supposedly were. The three main characters felt about 3-7 years younger than their labeled ages and it threw me for the entire book. I also wish the main secondary character had a more resolved ending.

No tears at all for this one so it doesn’t come close to rivaling Autoboyography, Love and Other Words or The Unhoneymooners but I did enjoy it overall.

This book was such a fun and easy read. The resolution was so satisfying. Love a good happy ending! Seems like a future Hallmark movie to me!

Christina Lauren is an auto-buy, immediate read author for me. Every time they release a new book, I am blown away by the creative storytelling and lovable characters. In a Holidaze was no different. In fact, this one had a unique premise I had yet to experience in a book, and I was actually shocked when I encountered it (for the first time).
This unique romantic comedy is sweet, funny, and everything I could hope for in a holiday romance. This made me wish I was reading it around Chrismas time.
In a Holidaze earns a solid 4.5 stars from me. I loved Mae and Andrew, and all of the unique personalities of the people who spend every Chrismas in this Utah cabin together. I wish I was there for the holidaze too.
Thank you to Gallery Books and Netgalley for my ARCs. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was the cutest little romance story that will get you ready for Christmas!
I was surprised to see this book was releasing in October, but while the story gave me all the holiday vibes you definitely can read it anytime of year.
Maelyn, who has several nick-names in the book, so don't get confused, end up experiencing the same holiday over and over again after making a wish to the universe to help her find her happiness. She is a confused 26 year old trying to figure out life and love. I think every woman can relate to that.
I do appreciate how Christina Lauren book always have more to their romance stories besides just the attraction between characters. They write real people you end up relating to and passionately rooting for.

This book is short and sweet and has everything you need in a holiday romance, plus a little more.

One of my favorite holiday activities is watching as many Lifetime/Hallmark/straight-to-video movies as possible. The wilder, the better. The presence of a time loop is crazy enough that our authors chose to keep the rest pretty grounded, and we're left with heartwarming vignettes, and a slow burn, largely in one location. Christina Lauren are so perfect at building romance that it all feels very real and intimate. The lead is very relatable, and the struggle of wanting to improve your life but not knowing how is an evergreen mood. Any romcom aficionado knows that the genre is largely about women improving themselves and growing confidence and moving forward, with romance as a treat. This one is highly satisfying. It name-checks Groundhog Day a few times, and is described as such by the publisher, but I felt several dashes of Happy Death Day added in. Just take out the murder plot and add in a holiday romance.

Christina Lauren has done it again! I absolutely loved Maelyn and Andrew! The ‘Groundhog Day’ effect was done perfectly in this book. Not too much repeating, but just enough. Christmas and romance are my favorite and this book has that in spades. Thank you to Netgalley and Gallery Books for the advance copy. Y’all are going to love this book.
