I’m all for romance but I draw the line when it turns into an absolute cheesy mess. Have you watched those Hallmark movies where people fall in love with each other in a matter of few days and everything works out perfectly well? Three Holidays and a Wedding is exactly like that. One of the things that I liked about the book was the inclusion of certain customs and traditions that not many usually talk about. But in all honesty, I couldn’t wait to wrap it up because it was clear right from the start about how the story would end. If you’re a hopeless romantic who enjoys all things Christmassy, then this may be right up your alley.

Maryam and Anna strike up an unlikely friendship on a plane on a turbulent winter day, on their way to Toronto. While Maryam is flying with her family to host her sister’s wedding, Anna is on her way to meet her boyfriend Nick’s parents. Both the women aren’t entirely happy with their lives and when their plane takes a detour to a tiny town called Snow Falls due to bad weather, things spiral into chaos. This town is as Hallmarky as it can get with impossibly nice residents who go out of their way to help these stranded passengers.

When Maryam meets her childhood crush and Anna meets a mysterious man, it doesn’t leave much room to see where the story eventually leads to. Apart from the romance, the story had many loopholes. The characters were too good to be true, and there was too much going on with them.

I would only recommend this book to those who can handle corny characters and mushy dialogues. This certainly wasn’t for me.
