The Afterlife of Holly Chase by Cynthia Hand
5.0
I'm actually quite surprised by how much I enjoyed this book! About 3/4 of the way through I was thinking this was a solid 4 star read, but the ending was such a surprise, and I loved it so much that it jumped up to 5 stars.
Don't get me wrong, this isn't amazing life-changing literature, but it's definitely a sweet and very entertaining Christmas story. If you love 'A Christmas Carol', then this is definitely a story you should read. Holly is so unlikable that she's kind of likable. I found that while she was a pretty horrible person, I was still routing for her the entire time.
Overall, I absolutely recommend this book. The ending was a complete surprise and I loved how the story wrapped up. So glad I finally decided to give this a go. It's been sitting on my to-read list forever. I wish I had read it ages ago!
