Enjoyable travel romance in which the female lead wins a trip around the world in a radio contest, with the catch that the station gets to pick a contact from her phone and that person will travel with her. That person turns out to be a man she only met once, but with both of them stuck in jobs they hate, they decide to go for it. Over their weeks of traveling, they develop feelings for each other. Some reviewers have complained that there was no chemistry between the couple, but I disagree. They had long conversations and revealed family secrets to each other as well as learning the small things about each other as they traveled. Yes, their poor communication was frustrating sometimes. I would have liked for each city they visited to be described in more detail, but this was only done for a few, which I definitely feel made the story more fun and helped their chemistry.
