This was super cute, it definitely gave me some laughs and I really enjoyed it. It definitely helped me feel chrismas cheer despite it only being October!

Ahh, I loved reading this. So cute, so funny, and a refreshingly undramatic and natural progression to the romance.

What a fun, feel good Romcom.
Molly and Andrew meet every Christmas at the Chicago airport and fly home to Ireland. They have been doing this for 10 years. They stay in touch throughout while they both live in Chicago and support each other but have their own lives and don’t really socialize together.
Totally opposite when it comes to Christmas. Andrew and his family go all out for Christmas with lights, trees, and clothing while Molly’s family doesn’t do anything for the holiday. It’s fun to watch how they banter back & forth about different things.
There is a snowstorm that is threatening Molly & Andrew getting back to Ireland in time for Christmas. Will they make it home in time? Guess you will have to read the book to find out!

Thank you to NetGalley for the advance copy of this book.

Loved this book!

For 10 years, Andrew and Molly take the same flight from Chicago to Ireland to visit family for the holidays. Over time, their friendship grows, but could it be something more?

This year, due to a snowstorm, they take this convoluted path home. Molly knows that Andrew loves the holidays, especially with his family, so she will do whatever she can to get him home. What follows next is a friends to lovers story that will warm your heart.

You get all the feels with this book. The author writes in a way that has you rooting for the couple and brings you into the festive spirit. Definitely a read for the holidays but can be enjoyed any time of the year!

Holiday romance by Catherine Walsh is the perfect holiday love story we all need. This book had everything I want in a holiday romance. Travel, banter, and a really sweet dynamic between the main characters. I see why everyone is loving this book. Perfect light read for your holiday. Love the quirky and romantic comedy feeling you get from this. It's absolutely adorable and hard not to love the characters. Good climaxes to keep things interesting but lots of good humor along the way.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. This book is now available, and I recommend picking it up!

If you enjoy a fun, feel-good story, along the lines of a fun holiday Hallmark movie, then this book is for you. Molly and Andrew, the main characters, were charming and so likeable. They were realistically flawed and handled the conflict of the storyline in a believable way. I appreciate that in a story.

I would certainly reach for more books by Catherine Walsh, based on how much I enjoyed this one.

I totally see why everyone is loving this book. Perfect light read for your holiday needs. Love the quirky and romantic comedy feeling you get from this. It's absolutely adorable and hard not to love the characters. Good climaxes to keep things interesting but lots of good humor along the way.

I received this book from NetGalley and the publishers to read and review. All of the statements above are my true opinions after fully reading this book.

I requested this book on a whim and, honestly, my last minute whim reads always tend to end up being my favorites. This was an awesome take on a friends to lovers romance that shifts between past and present seamlessly. I started reading this book at 11pm and stayed up super late to finish because I just couldn’t put it down!! This is absolutely on my list of top holiday romances for 2022!!

I recieved an ARC from NetGalley for voluntary review

This encompasses everything I love in a Christmas romance. I completely bought into Andrew and Molly’s bond and friendship. Meeting the Kinsella and Fitzpatrick families was truly the icing on the cake for me. It was their introductions and traditions that made this a totally perfect read for Christmas

This was so well written and such an enjoyable read. I look forward to reading more of the author's work. Thank you netgalley & the publisher for the ARC, in exchange for an honest review.

Oh this book! What a freaking delight. I was originally pulled in by the fun book cover, tag line, and Christmas theme but was hooked quickly by the quirky prologue. The back and forth from past to present reminded me lots of "People We Meet on Vacation" which I also loved- so I was a fan of getting a little bit more info with each time warp. I even felt this book had depth to it beyond just a cute little friends to lovers trope. Both Molly and Andrew are seeking more than life is offering them. Their processing of their lives and family dynamics really made this more than just a silly romance novel. I couldn't get enough of their friendship and encouragement for one another and didn't want to put the book down until I knew where things were headed! Loved all the wit and banter along with all things Ireland. Would definitely grab Catherine Walsh's other books. I trust her as an author to deliver some goods! Thank you so much @Netgalley for the arc and Bookouture for allowing me to review. I really truly loved this one.

This was such a cute story, well written and extremely readable. The only thing that confused me was the time-line but, that didn’t spoil my enjoyment of this lovely story. My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

I loved the story of this book so much. All those travels were super cute. So many funny and nice things was going on on the traveling home. Getting the friendship stronger, discover that was something more was priceless really. The scenes took my breath and I was really in connection. The only thing was the confusing timeline this time, I usually like but here I wished for one and would be even better. Well it was wonderful anyway. Steamy the sweetest way possible. And Ireland, Chicago and London, Paris, Sao Paolo....where did they not went together?? 4.5🌟

Thank you Eileen for buddyreading, I loved we felt the same about the book. And ofcourse thank you Bookouture and Netgalley for this wonderful arc.

A cute, whimsical story of seeing what is right in front of you while jingle bells are ringing and flights are being cancelled. It took me a little longer than usual to get into this story because the timeline jumps around a lot. If I had any delay in reading I had to backtrack to remember where we were in the story. Once I got past the mid-way point, it took off!
This is a very merry, sweet tale of opposites attracting and two being better than one in the jolliest of ways. I enjoyed it and would watch it on Netflix if they made a movie of it.

Friends to lovers is typically not my favorite trope, BUT this one was done super well. I loved the journey this book took me on. I especially loved all flashbacks of their trips over the last 10 years. It made me warm and fuzzy and the Christmas in the book was the cherry on top for me!

Absolutely loved this book. It had me laughing out loud and left me wanting more. I would highly recommend this book to anyone amazing read.

Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the E-ArC. This was such a cute story. I really identified with Molly lol. I loved the families attitudes I found myself laughing out loud while I tried to finish this book. I enjoyed that there was no real drama it was nice for a change and it did not turn me away it was pleasant to read such a wholesome story.

Holiday romance at its finest. Feel good, swoon, LOL moments and all the festive cheer you want to read during the holiday season. I loved the characters and their flight connection - we need more holiday books like this

For someone who’s very picky with romance books, I enjoyed this a lot!!

The main plot follows a lawyer, Molly and her ex-best friend’s ex-boyfriend, Andrew, a photographer. It follows a very cute tradition between the two; flying home to Ireland during the holidays, until tragedy struck in their 10th year flight. Somehow determined to get Andrew home for Christmas, Molly plans the most ridiculous, impressive trip. However, falling for each other was not in the plan. It also features scenes from their previous 9 flights in between chapters and it’s wholesome!!
This book was hilarious and fun from the first page till the very last, not a single dull or boring moment. I absolutely loved the dialogues and the banter between the two characters — their flaws and attributes made them real.
Honestly, I recommend this 10000% and if you want to get those festive vibes, read this around the holidays/Christmas as holidays and family is a big theme in this book

An adorable holiday romance! Got me in the holiday spirit 🥰 I loved Molly and Andrew and didn’t want this book to end.
