Rebel on a Holiday

by Chrissy Q. Martin

One summer trip. Two teenagers. Four grandmothers. And a little bit of luck.

I don’t know what I like, and a vacation might be what I need to find my own interests. For my high school graduation, I’m gifted a senior tour of Ireland. Except, it’s the wrong kind of senior. In an unlucky mix-up, I end up on a two-week tour for senior citizens. I may be the rebel on a holiday, but I’m not the only teenager. The bag boy working on the tour is my age, but he’s grumpy.

I can’t quite figure Declan out. He seems to be pulling the wool over my eyes and lying about who he is. But I won’t let a little rain and a grouchy boy wreck my holiday. With the help of four meddling grandmothers, I’m determined to not follow anyone else’s path and find what I like. But every sheep filled path I take leads back to Declan, and he seems to be searching for the same thing as me. What do we really like?

Will the luck of the Irish help me during these two weeks or will I end up forever seeking the pot of gold and never finding it?

Travel through Ireland with Chelsey and an unlikely cast of characters. You’ll laugh, think about what you like, and swoon over a sunshine/grumpy romance. After all, it takes sun and rain to make a rainbow. Find the treasure in this YA romcom for all ages. “Rebel on a Holiday” is the fourth book in the “Running on Love & Donuts” series. It follows the first three books but can be read as a standalone.

I have a ton of thought!!

So first of all I literally LOVE Declan as a book BF

I have read 3 other books that were set in Ireland! (The Love and Gelato series to be exact!)

I would rate this book a 4.75 it was so good! I would definitely recommend reading the Running On Love and Donuts series if you haven’t already! Definitely thought we could get more in the last scene of the book but Chelsey and Declan’s chemistry in this book was phenomenal!! I was literally kicking my feet and swooning over every little moment in the book!

It was a cute and easy book but pretty repetitive in the beginning as are the other books after the first one. And the ending of this book felt rushed and felt a bit unfinished. I wish we got some insight to what happens after the last airport scene. This whole series is cute and I would definitely read the books again in between beefier book series as I was able to read a whole book in less than a day they are the perfect pallet cleansers in the best way possible

I don’t know if it’s because I LOVEEEEE Ireland a lot but I found this book really cute. But yet again it’s a billionaire boyfriend thing (although it’s a veryy minor trope in this). I love the aesthetic of this. A cute and cozy read!💗

OMG, this is the sweetest @chrissyqmartin 's book ever! I know I've said it before, but it's true. I honestly don't know how she does it, but she always finds a way to write super cute love srories with super delightful characters. Chelsey and Declan, the main protagonists of Rebel On A Holiday, are no exception. They are the cutest grumpy × sunshine couple ever! Their stay in Ireland is characterized by so many funny circumstances and swoony moments! I swear it's impossibile not to laugh and dream out loud while reading their story!

Thank you Chrissy for sending me an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. I swear the incomparable granny brigade made me laugh so hard!
