Alaskan Holiday
Author: Debbie Macomber
Publisher: Ballantine Books
Pages: 256
Audience: Adults
Genre: Fiction
Alaskan Holiday is the story of Palmer and Jose, a couple
who met in Ponder, Alaska. Josie is a
chef at the local lodge that is about to close for the winter season. Josie is set to return to Seattle, Washington
where she is from. Palmer, an Alaskan
native, is distraught over losing Josie, the love of his life, and proposes to
her. Unfortunately, the proposal doesn’t
have the desired outcome Palmer wishes, which sets both Palmer and Josie on a
journey to what they both want.
Upon
finishing this book, I was disappointed.
The story was very predictable, and the main characters weren’t as
likeable as other characters I have loved and treasured in other Debbie Macomber
novels. I did enjoy Debbie Macomber’s
depiction of the Alaskan lifestyle with its simplicity, complexities, and the
richness of friendships in tight-knight community.
I look
forward to reading other works by Debbie Macomber. Unfortunately, Alaskan Holiday isn’t a book I would pick up again.
Happy
Reading!
Note: I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley in
exchange for an honest review.
