I started this back in December because I want in the holiday spirit and wanted a Christmas read. But my reading slump and I stopped listening to the audiobook.

Anyways, I really enjoyed this. I didn't find it as funny as the original A Christmas Carol but it's an entertaining inspired by story. I really enjoyed the characters, especially Holly even though she was suppose to be a brat. I felt for her and was rooting for her throughout.

1) I don‘t have a specific memory, but I loved the Bookmobile as a kid. Our main library was about 15 minutes away, so we often visited the Bookmobile on Saturdays. I would still go if they had one.
2) bookstore & library, Amazon occasionally for my kindle

I wish I didn‘t read this. Honestly, this is the first and only book that I just started skimming toward the end.
It feels like most of the chapters are just filler. Nothing important happens in the entire book. I have no connection to any character. It just felt empty. I wouldn‘t recommend it. .5/5

I tried so hard, I just finished a European history class and so was feeling ready for a futuristic retelling of the French Revolution featuring Marie Antoinette, but I could not get past the slang. The world is built around social media and honestly in that regard isn‘t too different from ours, but our slang is not based around technology. “He‘s giga mad” and “she‘s just phished right now”are dumb slang words and I just couldn‘t anymore. ⬇️

Zoe-h ⬆️ Also, in a thousand years, that‘s where we‘re at with social media? The exact same place? I think it would have worked better in an AU instead of the future. I did like the emphasis on neon, but this is after a global catastrophe (undescribed) that wiped out half the world and we‘re still using that and absinthe? Really? 4d

Another great installment. My only complaint is I‘m having a hard time keeping similar-looking characters straight. I guess I‘ll have to do a full-series reread at some point while I wait for the next one this fall!
