It might seem a bit odd to read a Christmas book this early, but I just finished the first book following these characters (which was set in the summer) and really enjoyed it so I couldn’t wait to see how their story would conclude.
I didn’t like this book as much as I liked Sparks Fly. While the first book in the series was full of summer fun, there definitely weren’t as many Christmas elements as I would have liked. There were a few things here and there, and a decent amount at the end, but this was more about each of the girls and the guys they liked.
I wouldn’t have minded the lack of Christmas elements as much if I had been more vested in the characters than I was. I really didn’t like Georgia or Eden’s relationship. The only couple I really liked was Daisy and Owen (though that had its moments as well).
This is just a personal preference for me, but I prefer my Christmas books on the cleaner side and there was a LOT of sex talk in this book. Especially for YA. A lot of the discussion was very frank and ridden with innuendos and I didn’t love that.
This book really handled grieving around the holidays quite well. It was definitely more bittersweet than I was expecting overall.
Still it was a cute read. I definitely recommend both books in this series and will definitely check out what this author puts out next.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
a Maybe is the second book in a series that follows the Holliday girls, this time over winter break. Georgia struggles with her identity and belonging, and brings home a foreign exchange student for the holidays, Daisy is especially feeling the loss of her father and is meanwhile exploring the jump from friends to more than friends with one of her high school classmates, and Eden brings her long distance boyfriend with her to her cousins’ to celebrate the holidays where she feels that her family doesn’t appreciate her freespirited ways.
Although advertised as a YA book, there was A LOT of sex talk in this book, especially for YA standards. And although there were glimpses of deeper themes, it almost felt like the driving theme of the book was sex as the building block of romantic relationships, and quickly became a turn-off for me. Because of this, I was hugely disappointed that the underlying, more important themes revolving around identity and self-acceptance were lost in the mix. Henry does do a good job with her descriptions of dealing the grief and moving on, albeit, again, I felt like this got a bit lost in the mix.
2 stars. The plot is too young for adults, and there’s too much sex for a YA audience. This needs to be addressed to find it’s appropriate audience.

Too many characters to keep track of. This one just kept going and going.
