Holiday version of the parent trap sounds fun. Unfortunately it just wasn't working for me.

I felt like the author didn't really focus enough on either holidays traditions and meanings. It was almost like the book was trying very hard to be secular. I know both holidays can be pretty secular traditions (Christmas especially and Hanukkah is a pretty minor Jewish holiday) but it just makes the book feel like it doesn't really have anything to say. I'm not even religious I don't know why this bothered me so much.

Also I didn't really like either of the main characters, Aviva being the worse of the two. The author sure can write selfish 12 year olds very realistically I'll tell you that.

This was cute, but it just felt empty.
