Laura has such an idealized idea of love, which makes her feel like a cookie cutter romcom fmc for me. She's dimwitted about what's right in front of her, but her romantic journey is still entertaining. I had fun with the taxi and suitcase escapades, even if the outcome felt predictable. More intriguing than who she'll end up with is her family story that unravels throughout the book in Laura's own recounting, old letters between her parents, and meeting her father's family as well as the tales her grandmothers and great-aunt can relay. The family story without the romance plot would likely be a slog to get through, though, without more drama added. Seeing the island of Jersey through Laura's eyes is also beautiful.

Overall this was a fun, quick, cute contemporary read. I actually liked the non-romance elements more than I liked the romance. I liked the side characters a lot, and seeing Laura explore her family history and learn about herself. I think that part of the story is something so many people can relate to. The romance felt rushed and quick, however. Especially the end, though that may be the vibe the author was going for.

My edition of the book had several typos. There were some comments in the book around weight/looks that I didn't like or think were healthy.

This is such a sweet British Romcom that will give you all the feels. There are many themes of self discovery, found family, overcoming grief, and accepting that live isn’t always picture perfect. This story was so heartfelt and I really enjoyed it. I highly recommend if you love romcoms!!
