  • In a Holidaze Is Everything I’Ve Ever Wanted in a Wintry Love Story
    PRAISE FOR THE NOVELS OF CHRISTINA LAUREN “In a Holidaze is everything I’ve ever wanted in a wintry love story. As hilarious as it is sweet, as sexy as it is tender, this story is pure, irresistible magic from start to finish. I couldn’t possibly love this book any more—my favorite Christina Lauren novel yet!” —Emily Henry, New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read, on In a Holidaze “Christina Lauren’s In a Holidaze is the perfect fresh take on finding your joy and falling in love. One page in and you want to put up your tree at all times of the year, sip hot cocoa, and dive into a marvelous cast of characters while staying on your toes wondering what will happen next.” —Carrie Ann Ryan, New York Times bestselling author of Forever Only Once, on In a Holidaze “An absolutely dazzling holiday romance: clever and cozy and deliciously sexy, with a cast of characters and a spirit-of-the-season lesson you won’t soon forget.” —Kate Clayborn, author of Love Lettering, on In a Holidaze “A toxic workplace nurtures an intoxicating romance in Lauren’s latest, supplying readers with all the drama and wit of the enemies-to-lovers trope. When a book has such great comic timing, it’s easy to finish the story in one sitting.” —Kirkus Reviews on The Honey-Don’t List (starred review) “Lauren (The Unhoneymooners) delivers a breezy, tongue-in-cheek rom-com as insightful as it is irreverent. Readers will laugh out loud.” —Publishers Weekly on The Honey-Don’t List “[The] story… is worth the wait, and the rich family backstories add sweetness… [with] a twist that offers readers something unexpected and new.” —Kirkus Reviews on Twice in a Blue Moon “What a joyful, warm, touching book! I laughed so hard I cried more than once, I felt the embrace of Olive’s huge, loving, complicated, hilarious family, and my heart soared at the ending.
