In a Holidaze


 Shirley J.     Adult Fiction Romance            Old Friends & Family gathering together each Christmas
In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren    336 pages

This was such an enjoyable read it really catches you up in the spirit of the holidays, young love and how friends can be family as much as your biological kin.     Friends and lovers from college continue spending every Christmas together even after partners switch up, marry, divorce but remain friends still, have children who grow up, everyone feeling it is the best possible answer to the holidays.  No matter what happens in their lives throughout the years, the camaraderie  never fails.  The adults assume the two youngest kids will grow up and marry, but as Blaise Pascal said, "The heart has reasons that reason doesn't understand."    While one of the two sort of sees that happening, the other doesn't and has eyes only for the "other" "older" sibling.   Quirky, fun story with a few tears along the way.  Christina Lauren knows her stuff and tells an excellent Christmas story with lots of references baby boomers will get and enjoy.  I recommend this one to Middle Schoolers on up.  It is an enjoyable read.
