10.3.2023 - Love, Holly

Love, Holly by Emily      Stone 

Many thanks to NetGalley, Random House Ballantine Dell Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the new book by a favorite, Emily Stone - 5 stars!

A car accident tore Holly's family apart and her sister no longer speaks to her.  She has been a part of a holiday letter-writing club where she writes to a stranger spending Christmas alone and receives a letter from someone in turn, all anonymous.  But this year, the letter Holly receives from Emma mentions a place that she knows.  She realizes she can maybe help heal this person's heart.  When she tracks down Emma's estranged grandson, Jack, she realizes it was someone she had met before.  Holly is determined to fix Emma's family, and maybe her own.

Emily Stone writes the best kind of rom-coms - full of characters you will love and root for, a believable storyline that tugs at your heart, with plenty of life lessons thrown in along the way.  I always really liked the letter writing part of the story - both the Christmas letters as well as those that Holly wrote to her sister.  This book was about second chances, forgiveness, the family we choose, and a reminder about how important communication in all forms is to relationships.  A must read at the holidays or anytime!
