The Afterlife of Holly Chase by Cynthia Hand
4.0
The Afterlife of Holly Chase is a fun holiday read. This YA novel is a retelling/spin on Dicken's Christmas Carol.
Holly Chase is a spoiled California 17 year old with a dad who makes movies and a recently dead snob of a step mother. One Christmas Holly is visited by 3 spirits (Xmas past, present and future) who tell her she needs to turn her life around and that if she doesn't she will die. Well, she doesn't listen and she dies. The vast majority of the story happens after she dies... She "wakes up" in NYC and is told she will be working for the super secret Project Scrooge where she will now play the role of the Ghost of Christmas Past.
This was a fun twist on the Dicken's tale and a great read for the holiday season. I recommend this to people looking for a holiday read.
