What a fun book! I was afraid it would be too steamy but I really enjoyed this to get into an early Christmas mood. Definitely the best of contemporary romance - great banter, cute plot, believable relationship. Loved it.

I love these authors! like alwaus It was pretty enjoyable. I would give this book a 4.5 star rating! It was a pretty Quick and easy read

A funny take on getting chance after chance to make things right! Maelyn made an epic Christmas mistake and when she thinks it’s behind her she wakes up only to have to repeat the day over again! There’s something she misses each day and it’s not until she can save more than her love life that she can finally move forward!

I love Christina Lauren and this is one Holiday book you don’t want to miss.

Christina Lauren creates a fantasy world in her new book In a Holidaze and keeps you in a holiday daze while reading about the magic of wishes during the holidays. Maelyn is caught up in a whirlwind of reliving the holidays after making a Christmas wish only to find romance and satisfaction in life. It is an exciting read-- encouraging the reader to cheer on Maelyn.

I absolutely loved this book so much I couldn't put it down and devoured it in one day. This is book is perfect for the fall; curl up on the couch with a blanket and a hot toddy and transport yourself to the festive and supportive family that is featured in this novel. I think everyone can relate to the main character, Maelyn Jones, a young woman who's kind of in a life slump and is nervous to take leaps personally and professionally. But when she's stuck in a weird "Groundhog Day" loop, she puts fear in the rearview mirror and moves towards risk taking without worrying about the consequences. I loved all of the supporting characters particularly Benny who just seemed like a cool, chill, supportive "Uncle" that never judges anyone's choices. I also loved the message of how you can choose your family and that families can remain even if parents separate. I also wanted to be a member of this family. The chemistry between Andrew and Maelyn was so sweet and sincere. I believed that they had known each other their whole life and I really liked the slow and then fast progression of their relationship. All in all, I was so sad to finish this book but so grateful that I got to experience it.

This was such a fun book to read! It was the romantic Christmas version of Groundhog Day. I was really rooting for Maelyn and really liked all the characters in the book. This is definitely a book you will enjoy and I can't wait to read more from this author!

Reading a Christmas book in August because I am just too excited for Christina Lauren's next release!!! It may be set during Christmas, but it really could have been set any time. This is another take on Groundhog's Day, but the duo delivers it without repetition of events - which always bothers me in Groundhog's Day-like stories. Continue with their romance and chemistry between characters that they are so well-known for! This is going to be a great fall/winter romance!

Thanks to Gallery Books and NetGalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

An entertaining and well written regency romance. Good plot and character development. I highly recommend this book. I received an advance ebook from the publisher and this is my unbiased review.

Two and a half stars. I was ready to quit at 25% in but stuck with it. It definitely got better, but I could never quite shake what irked me about it. While I'm a huge fan of romance novels, I loathe plot lines where it's implied that the woman needs a man to complete her life. In this story, it's a specific man but it still bugged me.

Mae gets stuck in a Groundhog's Day situation when she makes a wish that The Universe will show her what makes her happy. Suddenly she's back on the plane six days ago, on her way to her annual family Christmas celebration. Mae learns from her past visit, and each time she wakes up on that plane to try again, she makes changes in her life. The biggest change is that she finally tells Andrew she's had feelings for him since they were thirteen.

The writing is funny, though feels cheesy at times. I didn't like Mae much and couldn't get behind what she was doing. The plot was predictable and moved a bit too fast. I didn't like this as much at the authors' previous books, and probably wouldn't recommend it.

A holiday romance that warms the heart, In a Holidaze is the story of Maelyn Jones. Mae is at a crossroads in her life. She lives with her parents, hates her job, and will probably never admit her true feelings to her childhood crush. After her family holiday in Utah ends miserably, Mae is convinced she may never be happy, so she throws out a wish to the universe: Can you show me what will make me happy? Suddenly she finds herself in a time loop, reliving the same holiday over and over again. Fed up with how things keep turning out, Mae finally feels empowered to go for what she wants, slowly realizing her happy ending is not as impossible as she once thought.

The writing duo of Christina Lauren never disappoints. I really enjoyed this book. I didn't particularly like the time loop as a plot device. While it served as a catalyst, it also felt arbitrary and wasn't properly explained. The book is better once you get into the main story. The cast of characters is amazing, and the romance is sweet and satisfying. Overall, highly recommend!

Five out of Five stars!

Is there a book or subject Christina and Lauren can’t write about? I don’t think so! I was hesitant to start this because 1) it’s the middle of Summer and 2) I wasn’t quite sure about the story line. Let’s just say I read the entire book in one sitting and am about to re read it. It was sweet, funny, sexy, laugh out loud and charming! This is JUST the book we need it 2020.

Groundhog Day the movie meets a cute holiday romcom.

I really enjoyed this book and the modern day take on Groundhog Day. I do wish there was a little more of the do-overs as it seemed to end quick and transition into the final version of her week though.

Full review to be posted closer to publication day.

This was such a sweet, quirky and cozy rom-com. I was a bit worried about how this story line would go because of how overdone it is, but I was pleasantly surprised. It reminded me a lot of my own college friendships and even my own family vacations.

These characters read to me like a bunch of teenagers which confused me a bit because they are all actually adults. Their choices all seemed a bit juvenile. But, that was a very small aspect that I didn't like about this one. Overall, I thought this was such a fun and comical holiday story. It'll definitely get you into the right mood for the holidays.

I love Christina Lauren’s books and was excited to hear that they have a holiday romance book coming out! In a Holidaze follows 26-year-old Maelyn Jones who spends Christmas each year at a cabin with her family and family friends. However, Maelyn knows that this is the last holiday trip that they will spend together. After making a wish to the universe to show what makes her happy, she finds herself stuck in a time loop and must figure out how to break it.

I honestly was skeptical at first reading this because the story started off slow, but I really enjoyed it as we got to learn more about the main characters and their relationship. I also loved learning more about the family and other side characters. Overall, this was a fun, charming, and heartfelt read that is perfect for the holiday season!

Thank you, NetGalley for a copy of an arc in exchange for an honest review!

Christina Lauren does no wrong. I will continue to stand by that statement.
.
In a Holidaze started a little scary for me. I thought eeeeeeepppppppp, I just don't know that I can do a groundhog day. Guess what? I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was pleasantly surprised.
.
These ladies have such a way with characters. I really, fell in love with this blended family. I loved the concept of lifelong friends spending Christmas together in their cabin and living out the traditions every year. I'm sentimental like that :-).
.
Overall this novel was very predictable in the very best way. If you want something fun and light....and although it is happening at Christmas. I would not say it is a super Christmasy book. Pick this one up.

I have always been a huge Christina Lauren fan, and was beyond excited to see they had a holiday themed book coming out this year! .The premise is similar to a Groundhog's Day concept where our protagonist finds herself thrown back to relive her Christmas holiday in Park City over and over again until she figures out what truly makes her happy. This gives her an opportunity to "redo" the week and make it the best it could be and avoid all the pitfalls of the original trip.

The snowy scenery was beautiful, there was a lot of festive Christmas cheer, and of course a really sweet romance storyline. I thought this was one of my favorite Christina Lauren novels in a long time, and think it was the perfect holiday-themed read. It was sweet and adorable, but definitely did not cross over into cheesy holiday territory. I wish they would write more like this!

Christmas! Romance! Christina Lauren! How can you go wrong?! Read this sweet (Groundhog Doy-reminiscent) book and get ready to be delighted by Maelyn Jones, as she vacations with her family and friends in Utah during the holidays. At the end of the week, things go haywire, and suddenly the vacation begins again.

What I love about books and being a reader (especially one who often forgoes reading the synopsis's) is that every once in awhile you'll read two books that are eerily familiar but somehow still so unique.

In this case, our main character of In a Holidaze, Mae, is have a serious case of deja vu - much like How to Save a Life from Liz Fenton & Lisa Steinke that I just read, but the two stories could not have been more different! Am I the only one amazed and in awe when that happens between books?!

As only the second title by Christina Lauren I've read, with The Unhoneymooners being the first, I know I will now always pick up their new titles, I really enjoyed this book - it was the perfect Christmas in July title to read. I must be the only crazy that's already getting excited about the holiday season thanks to books like this one!

My new favorite Christina Lauren book and the perfect holiday read! I wasn't even finished yet before thinking "I want a sequel". I love the large holiday group format and the different timeline of this one.

It was ok. The relationship was a little juveniles compared to what normal 26 year olds deal with. Im happy it ended on a happy not.
