A review by drwurm
A Holly Jolly Ever After by Julie Murphy, Sierra Simone

3.0

I really liked the first half of this book but the surprise pregnancy caught me off guard. I really dislike that trope in rom coms and I probably should have looked into it before reading, so that’s on me.

I think it would have been a more satisfying character arc for Winnie to get an abortion when she found out she was pregnant. Then there could have been something else that drew Kallum and her back together and the epilogue could have included them getting pregnant on their own accord.

The spice was great! Winnie coming to terms with her sexuality and working through her purity culture trama is 10/10, I just wish the 2nd half took a different turn.
