3.03,5 Even though I had some issues throughout, it was an overall enjoyable read. And I really loved the ending.

5.0One of my favorite Christmas books. A unique retelling of Charles Dickens' a Christmas Carol, where the protagonist is basically a Scrooge, but fails and dies and is "punished" to be the Ghost of Christmas Past for the Scrooges in the following years. It sounds wild, but how it all works - with Holly being dead and a Ghost but also kind of alive - is explained extremely well in this book. We have some magic, but also technology, and the concept of Project Scrooge overall was very thought through. Holly is an extremely unlikeable character, which like, makes sense, because she is like Scrooge and didn't feel the need to change. But even with her snarky comments and her superficial thoughts, she still grew on me and I was rooting so much for her during this book. A book about family, love, friendship, self improvement and second chances.
