Publisher's Summary

The instant New York Times best seller

One Christmas wish, two brothers, and a lifetime of hope are on the line for hapless Maelyn Jones in In a Holidaze, the quintessential holiday romantic novel by Christina Lauren, the New York Times best-selling author of The Unhoneymooners.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year...but not for Maelyn Jones. She’s living with her parents, hates her going-nowhere job, and has just made a romantic error of epic proportions. 

But perhaps worst of all, this is the last Christmas Mae will be at her favorite place in the world - the snowy Utah cabin where she and her family have spent every holiday since she was born, along with two other beloved families. Mentally melting down as she drives away from the cabin for the final time, Mae throws out what she thinks is a simple plea to the universe: Please. Show me what will make me happy. 

The next thing she knows, tires screech and metal collides, everything goes black. But when Mae gasps awake...she’s on an airplane bound for Utah, where she begins the same holiday all over again. With one hilarious disaster after another sending her back to the plane, Mae must figure out how to break free of the strange time loop - and finally get her true love under the mistletoe. 

Jam-packed with yuletide cheer, an unforgettable cast of characters, and Christina Lauren’s trademark “downright hilarious” (Helen Hoang, author of The Bride Test) hijinks, this swoon-worthy romantic listen will make you believe in the power of wishes and the magic of the holidays.

Awful and Predictable

I normally love this genre of stories but this one was so hard to get through. The main character is intensely frustrating and the narrators Australian accent is horrendous. Don’t waste your time

Heart warming

Loved it in the beginning but the grand gestures in the end felt painfully cheesy. Overall definitely a feel good book!

A Fun Story

I was looking for a fun story that is light and entertaining and that didn’t involve having to think too much. This did not disappoint. A fun escape to enjoy with my coffee and fun to listen to while I do my housework.

Surprised by this

I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed this audiobook! Lately the majority of books of this type I’ve read or listened to have been quite cringey and lose my interest at points. I enjoyed this one all the way through. Some people were disappointed by the storyline and that it didn’t touch on the time loop more than it did but it was a relaxing listen while I drive for work that made me smile. The narration was also better than other audiobooks I’ve listened to, that’s important for me! Definitely worth a listen if you’re looking for an easy and cute one to pass the time.

SO GOOD!!

This was the first book I’ve ever read by this author and I was so pleased!! I was hesitant to read it at first, thinking it would be like every other Groundhog Day type story (soooo much repetition), but I was happy to find that it wasn’t. The main character only lives the same day a few times, and each time it’s COMPLETELY different. I loved the characters, the relationships, and the humour, and would absolutely recommend this book to anyone looking for a cozy, holiday, feel-good read.

Cute, Light, Funny

This book had me laughing out loud several times throughout. I thought I had it figured out but then it started to surprise me. I really needed something light and fluffy and this is certainly that. The narrator was great and the book is exactly what I needed it to be.

Oh wow

I loved this! I loved the Groundhog Day feel of the story. Laughs and tears, but heartfelt. So glad they got together! Highly recommended.
