Holly Jolly summer

Holly Jolly summer

I liked the synopsis of this book but as I was reading there were parts that were completely predictable. Marianne was annoying to me, especially through the viewpoint of Darby. In the end, she ended up being okay. I admired what Darby was trying to do at Holly Jolly Land and the story did begin to grow on me. The entire situation with Roy was, again, predictable and so much so I nearly eyerolled. I like how Calvin made Darby feel and how it was almost an “enemies to lovers” trope, but with as a younger age version. Darby's actions and her thoughts about her father and Marianne quickly reminded me of the age category.
