Three Holidays and a WeddingBy: Uzma Jalaluddin and Marissa StapleyPublisher: PutnamYear: 2023This novel, by two Canadians, is like a rom-com, a romantic comedy film. Think Sleepless in Seattle, You’ve got Mail, Love Actually, Four Weddings and a Funeral and The Big Sick. You get the picture. It’s about holiday romances and fairytale endings, told with a light touch. The plot is simple. It’s the year 2000 and Christmas, Hannukah and Ramadan fall within days of one another.
