    <spoiler>So I really liked the book and how at the end of it all Holly was able to make up for her bitchy-ness at the end granted it was all a plof by the people behind "Project Scrooge" to help turn Hollys life around. Hell she even saved Ethans Dad at the end so that was actually pretty adorable and probably helped Ethan in the long run. Even though Ethan wasnt actually the scrooge of that year. Either way I guess I could say a few things I didnt like about the book? At first it was Holly with her being all bitchy because of how she had to work Christmas and it was her job as the GCP (Ghost of Christmas Past) and she was so rude to Steph at first but over time I kinda started to like her a little bit even if Steph was a bit of a pushover letting Holly talk to her however she wanted. Then again thats how many internships are.</spoiler>
