After hearing so much hype and it being based on a book I didn't really enjoy, I figured that I would be one of the people who would have not liked this book, but boy was I wrong. I read the original A Christmas Carol a couple years ago and I thought it was OK. I didn't really enjoy the movie adaptations.
I loved everything about this book. I loved how there was a happily ever after and not what you would expect. Cynthia Hand actually talks through her characters like... "is this what you thought was going to happen... haha.. SIT DOWN".
She made Holly Chase an unlike-able like-able character. I was thoroughly annoyed with Holly for the first part and then I was face palming while reading through her decisions. The ending was a complete plot twist. Did not see that coming and while reading this, I am fighting a cold so trying really hard not to cry when your head already feels like it wants to explode was very difficult.
The ending was great and the romance was solid.
