The Holiday Honeymoon Switch by Julia McKay
My
Thoughts:
The Holiday Honeymoon Switch was a sweet romance with
two best friends, Holly and Ivy switching vacations when Holly’s fiancé dumps
her the night before their wedding.
Ivy goes on Holly’s honeymoon trip to paint picturesque
scenery in Kauai, which doesn’t go exactly as planned and instead of painting
and drawing alone, she ends up making friends with a sexy bartender and his
bestie.
Holly takes Ivy’s artist retreat vacation in the Hudson
Valley mountains in an idyllic, small winter-wonderland-of-a-town. She intends
to heal and binge watch Christmas movies, but her plans change when an old high
school academic rival shows up, all grown up and gorgeous.
The story is reminiscent of the movie The Holiday with Kate
Winslet and Cameron Diaz, a movie I now want to watch all over again!

Book Description:
When doppelgänger best friends trade one’s cabin Christmas vacation for the other’s Hawaiian would’ve-been-honeymoon, both might just find love they weren’t expecting.
Holly Beech and Ivy Casey are bury-the-body besties. They’re so in sync, they even look alike. So when Holly’s fiancé jilts her, leaving her in shock and with a nonrefundable honeymoon, Holly convinces Ivy to switch places. Ivy will go on the Hawaiian honeymoon her best friend can’t bear to take alone, while Holly escapes to Ivy’s rented Hudson Valley cabin to binge-watch holiday movies and heal.
But Holly’s wallowing is interrupted when her rugged Airbnb host turns out to be her high school academic rival who’s had a major glow-up. Meanwhile, Ivy’s (now Hawaiian) annual solo art retreat is upended when Holly’s ex-fiancé checks into the honeymoon suite—with a new woman. Raging and bedless, the last thing Ivy expects is for the hot hotel bartender to come to her rescue. Against all odds, this Christmas might prove the most magical yet.
