OK OK, so we know I love a time loop story. I’m old enough to have watched Groundhog Day in theaters and was never bothered by the the repetitiveness, and love when someone has to piece together WTF to do to undo the loop.

When I realized Christina Lauren was releasing a time loop story, I was SUPER EXCITED. I immediately loved Maelyn, and found her to be refreshing and funny. The family cabin setting was delightful, rounded out with so many amazing family cast members, it really gave you a sense of what she would be missing. I’m also a sucker for a caught-between-two brothers storyline (still over here waiting for that curse to befall me IRL hahah), and this did not disappoint.

The only wish I had at the end, was that they leaned a little more into the time loop, maybe created a little more chaos and confusion to mix things up. That’s just a personal time-lop enjoyment level though and this is still the perfect book to pick up, especially at the start of the holidays so you can really appreciate your (hopefully?) non-Groundhog holiday season.

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I think Christmas romance books are fun. I'm want to read feel-good books at Christmas time, and In a Holidaze was just right.

Another thoughtful, playful and enjoyable hit for Christina Lauren. A good read for late Fall. Ground Hogs Day feel. Main character was very relatable. Give it a go!

Let’s just call In A Holidaze my most anticipated Christmas book for the year okay? I have seen so many mixed reviews for this one, but I really loved it. I thought the flashbacks to holiday memories were cute and I was excited to see how the Groundhog Day effect would play out in the end.

CLo I loved the authors note at the end, and this truly was released at the perfect time in a most challenging year, so thank you for giving your fans such a treat. (Hoping for more holiday reads in the future)

I love everything they write! This book is such a fun holiday read. This was a really cute rendition of a groundhogs day scenario. Definitely not like there usual books but I like when authors take a chance and do different books!

I have tried to get into this book several times. I just can’t. It is probably a me thing. Next time I want to read a Christina Lauren, I will pick up a different book.

This book took me a little bit to get into. Mae finds herself reliving her Christmas holiday over and over again and she isn't exactly sure why. Each time she resets, she has some type of trauma like being in a car crash. The whiplash of time traveling, definitely took me a while to get into this book. The time traveling part, never really seem to be concluded at the end. It seem to just be loose strings for how this love story came to be.

However, I did love when Mae suddenly had the realization that she needed to live for herself and no one else. Could that have been done without time traveling? Maybe? This book obviously had traditional Christmas elements. I loved the part where they were under the Christmas tree looking up at all the lights. There is something magical about Christmas lights.

The idea behind In a Holidaze is cute. Having the opportunity to reset until you end up with the one that you are suppose to fall in love with. I just felt it the time traveling aspect was left in the air for the final one. She never went back again and it just did not feel concluded.

I am a huge Christina Lauren fan and overall, I love their books. This one just is not one of my favorites of theirs.

I was really hoping that I would fall in love with this book. I love most of what Lauren writes, however, I felt like this was just not competitive to what she always writes. Although it was good I wanted more!

3.75 A cute, Groundhog Day-eqsue romcom. It was awesome reading a book set in the state I am in and am somewhat familiar with. I enjoyed my time reading this one as a whole. (As a sidenote, the artistic gift the main character gives another character towards the end. I found that to be a tad creepy and totally threw me off the relationship. I'm surprised the guy was into it.)

i enjoyed this but it just didn't leave a memorable impression on me where i am really struggling to find the words to review this two years later. but i appreciate you and everything this author duo does always.

Overall, I enjoyed it and found it entertaining, especially all the holiday festivities and family interactions. The romance felt a bit rushed though. And there was no proper conclusion or explanation behind the whole Groundhog’s Day concept so I felt a bit cheated and confused by the end. However, I did finish so it at least held my attention.

I was drawn to the Goundhog Day premise where the Mae keeps reliving the same week at Utah cabin her family and their friends rent every Christmas/New Years. The first half was pretty great, but the whole repeating the day trope just fell to the wayside. That took me out of the story when the major plot line was abandoned. It was a quick read and I might recommend to any friends who are looking for something fluffy to read during the holidays.

I was looking for a fun quick read and after reading Unhoneymooners a while back and loving it, by this duo, I just knew I was gonna love this as well but sadly I almost DNFed it because I was quite bored with it. It's only been a few days since I finished and already am having a hard time remembering much about it. It just wasn't a very memorable story.

I tried, I really did. I’m so sorry to say but In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren was not it. It took me a while and a couple put downs and pick back ups to even get into it. Because I don't like to DNF books I pushed through. I'm grateful for the advanced copy and usually like this Author but ever since they moved away from the sultriness of the Beautiful Series I just can't read anymore.

Great story but not my favorite Christina Lauren book. a fun and sexy romp. Would recommend. Worth the read!

Another absolutely adorable read by Christina Lauren!! Love the holiday theming, perfect for the season.

It's a fun take on a holiday romance and I enjoyed it. It's sweet, funny and predictable which is what you want in a holiday romance. I would recommend this to all my patrons that just want an easy read doesn't want the same small town holiday book, this book has a bit of sci-fi time loop but doesn't interfere with why we are reading the book in the first place- get me to the romance.

I received this book for an honest review:

A really late review. Has a woman Mae going home to her parent's house and after thinking about what her holidays were like when her parents were together before their divorce, she now has a stepfather and just everything for her is different, so is her holiday. After her first day there she wakes up the day doing everything over. The third day is the same so you have a holiday version of groundhog day. For her, she can make things right one of them being Andrew, and as you further into the story that is what you want to happen. Overall a fun story just took me a while to get into it.

I had high hopes for this modern day rom-com in the vein of It's a Wonderful Life/Groundhogs Day. This book was an easy holiday read filled with Christmas, but for me the story was just okay. The authors didn't really take advantage of the time loop, it was almost unnecessary.

The two main characters were supposed to be 26 and 29 but from their actions and descriptions I felt like their age was a bit ambiguous, often coming across younger, and somehow this was taking away from the plot for me. I never really got to know either character and didn't attach to them, it was very vanilla.

I read this fast and wanted to know what happened... But it wasn't a favorite.

I love Christina Lauren, but this wasn't a standout to me. I like that they took risks with the time travel (or time loop?) stuff but it didn't totally pay off because I felt like I didn't get to go on as much of a journey with the characters.
