In A Holidaze is a delightful Christmas twist. Romance, family, a snowy cabin in the woods and a time loop.

Book Review
In A Holidaze
4/5
 Mae is 26. The highlight of her depressing life is the annual Christmas gathering in Utah where she gets to see the love of her life one week a year and ogle him from afar. Only this year, Mae keeps reliving the same day until she can discover what makes her happy.Â
The Groundhog Day theme dances on a precarious ledge but Christina Lauren balanced it perfectly. This book was so good. I loved how all the characters felt so real that I wanted to be part of Mae’s family. I loved the chills during romantic tension and heart tugging moments. Funny, endearing and full of unconditional love, this sweet book will wrap you in a warm holiday hug.Â
Audiobook Review Murin is fitting as the funny, self deprecating Mae.  Her reading style was alive and variant, bringing numerous characters to life. This was a great audiobook to listen to while baking Christmas cookies!

Andrew tastes like peppermint and chocolate, smells like the smoke from the wood in the fireplace, and feels like sunshine.
Holidaze Spiked Cider
"I take a deep drink and wow, Andrew does not mess around-- this is not "heavy on the juice." I'm surprised that flames don't flicker off my tongue when I exhale. Next reboot, I'll have to ask him to make one that tastes slightly less like fire."
