Holiday Romance: A totally hilarious and unforgettable Christmas romantic comedy | 
pickA very cute, friends to lovers Christmas romance. And it‘s set partly in Ireland! I‘m not a fan of self-deprecating female lead characters, but I‘ll give this book a pass because Molly is smart and witty. The sass she and Andrew dish back and forth is so fun. Book #121 in 2024
From this afternoon, cozied up with my girls and this book on the kindle iPad app. Hope everyone‘s having a chill Xmas!!

I found my favorite author and one of my top reads of the YEAR.
Its the friendships, the romance, the COMEDY, the side characters you never want to let go of. Now im a SUCKER for friends to lovers, I always will be. The friendship between Molly and Andrew is unforgettable, I still think about them and I read this years ago. Its one of those relationships people dream of having. I love them and reading this is worth it in so many ways.

pickHoliday Romance by Catherine Walsh was exactly what I needed to get through a busy week. It was light and fun, but also kept me wanting to come back for more. I couldn‘t wait to pick my Kindle back up and join Andrew and Molly again on their Christmas travel adventure. Friends to lovers, so cute, so sweet, just a little spice, escapism reading. And missing the elements of most romance books that bug me. Last book of 2023! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 ❤️📚
so-soIt has its cute moments and has festive vibes, but the whole book felt like it was dragging and forced. This novel doesn‘t particularly stick out, but it was still quite enjoyable read :)
pickA soft pick. I didn‘t find it totally hilarious and while I liked it, I didn‘t love it. I thought it lacked something. I‘m normally all for a good friends to lovers trope, but this one didn‘t make me feel it. Andrew wasn‘t well fleshed out. There were a couple other issues too that makes this a 3 star read.
Next on my plate…I‘m such a mood reader and I‘m in the mood for a light holiday book! I referenced a few bookish podcasts I listen to and took a recommendation from Literally Reading. Holiday Romance by Catherine Walsh was on their 12 Romcoms of Christmas list and this one is on Kindle Unlimited. Winning! ❤️📚
pickI really had so much fun reading this one! The title, though lackluster, is accurate— this is exactly that, a holiday romance to make you laugh, and just in general be merry as you read this friends to lovers story. Molly and Ian are both living in Chicago but travel home to Ireland each holiday season. For a decade things have changed in their lives, but their friendship has remained consistent. A huge thank you to my SIL for loaning me her copy!
so-soLiked it! 7/10
My holiday reading completed. Two books I planned on go back on the shelf till next year. #tistheseason #seasonsreadings
pickThat's the kind of festive #RomCom I like. No overly cutesy and fantastical Christmas towns, just normal people falling for each other at Christmas. 😁

pickbook equivalent of a Hallmark Christmas movie
pickThis was really good. I loved the idea of this book, and the characters were so charming. Lots of bingos and Readathons for #WinterGames #TeamReindeerGamers

pickThis might just be my favorite book of the year. ❤️ The friendship between Andrew and Molly is so real and hilarious and fun to read ~ their relationship is one built on honest feelings and truly knowing one another. I loved every minute of it. I would love to see this made into a Hallmark movie. 🥰 #romance #greatromance #christmasromance
pickSuper cute and enjoyable Christmas romance. I'm trying to enjoy more light-hearted holiday reads this month to help get more in the spirit of Christmas. This was exactly what I hoped it would be. I liked the characters and the humor.
December 1 #WinterGamesDailyPhotoChallenge Red Cover I will read this next. @StayCurious @Clwojick
pickI am so happy that I got to finish one more book this year. Don‘t be turned away by the bland title. This was a very cute story. The audiobook narrator was a little monotone at times, almost like Siri, but I still recommend this—it would make a great Netflix movie.
pickI loved Andrew and Molly‘s story. The way each past flight was woven throughout the book. The adorable and mishap filled adventure to return home for the holidays and be with family. It was such a lovely friends to lovers romance, and I‘d really like to see a second book that continues the tale.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is a sweet and fun friends-to-lovers holiday romance! For ten years, Molly and Andrew have sat next to each other on their flight home to Ireland from Chicago for Christmas. This year, all flights are cancelled due to a huge snowstorm, so they set off on an adventure to get back to their families by Christmas, and of course, chaos (and romance) ensue! 🎧
pickReally cute! Two Irish expats living in Chicago meet up once a year for a flight home to Ireland for Christmas. On the 10th anniversary of their travel tradition, everything goes wrong…except for the one thing that goes right.
