The deception that Holly has to maintain to get to know Ethan, and, like, the ethics of it all, I can’t quite abide. You’ll learn.) But dang it all - Ethan isn’t entirely bad? I might have even grown to like him as a love interest? It’s like jerks are capable of having redeeming qualities or something. And then I was really rolling my eyes when Holly was willing to overlook douchebaggery for hotness. Getting the lowdown on Ethan’s Scroogey self before meeting him means that I was totally predisposed to dislike him.

I mean, what’s the worst that could happen? DUH SHE’S DEAD.) Her recklessness when it comes to Ethan had me wondering, what, what, what are you doing? Look at your afterlife! Look at your choices! (Then again, that might just be the obedient rule-follower in me freaking out. Not only was she a selfish jerk, but she was cruel, egotistical, and materialistic, too.įortunately, her ghost self is much improved - in terms of personality, anyway. But WOW, was Holly a rotten person when she was alive. I’ve been known to find certain types of a-holes endearing, and I’ve often owned up to being one myself. But in the five years since her death, she’s never faced a Scrooge like Ethan Winters before: young, buff, and HOT. And for the first time ever, Holly’s taken an interest-too much of an interest?-in her dead-end job. Now Holly works as the Ghost of Christmas Past for Project Scrooge, the clandestine company dedicated to saving selfish, miserable souls like hers was.

One fateful Christmas Eve, Holly Chase was visited by three ghosts who tried to convince her to be a better person. Sure, I guess? It’s fine, but it doesn’t bring joy to my world.* Upon closer inspection, I do appreciate how it emulates the intricate, old-timey covers befitting its inspiration.
