The characters are well constructed, and the plot turns made the story interesting and unique. The afterlife of Holly Chase proved to be endearing and one of the more enjoyable Young Adult Holiday books I have read in recent years. Whether it came from the stress of trying to find that perfect gift or dealing with the uh, different personalities of my family, sometimes I forget the true meaning of the season. Have you ever felt like a Scrooge during the Holidays? I hate to admit it, but there have been times in my past where I have lost that Christmas spirit. Will saving Ethan mean sacrificing her own happiness in the process? And is that something her dark heart is even willing to accept? “You see, you don’t need much to make Christmas. Suddenly her afterlife gets turned upside down, and Holly finds herself breaking all the rules to be close to him. But when Ethan, the latest “Scrooge,” is revealed, he is nothing like she expected. Now five years later, she is still being punished, forced to work as the newest member of top-secret Project Scrooge as the Ghost of Christmas Past. Being visited by the three ghosts of Christmas should have been her wake-up call, but she ignored their warnings. Young Adult Holiday, The Afterlife of Holly Chase by Cynthia Hand, refreshes Dickens A Christmas Carol’s prominent story and provides us with a unique and entertaining alternative.
