My latest Rom-Com! This book had probably the funniest moment I have ever read/listed to in a book EVER!!! I was literally laughing out loud with tears in my eyes as I drove to work the other day. There were a few laugh out loud funny moments in this book which is what saved it for me. There were parts of this book I liked a lot and parts that I was bored with. I think this would be a cute Letters to Juliette kind of movie and I’d be interested in seeing it. Rom-Com books are new to me and they are very popular here on Bookstagram so I figured since I love a good Rom-Com I’d enjoy reading them. I think there is a part of me that likes reading them and there are parts of me that maybe my limit is a 2 hour movie? The characters were good I just could not seem to make myself care about the story that much. But the funny parts were absolutely amazing! Again enjoyable but not something I will think much about as I move on to other books. No book hangover here and on to the next.

I loved this book so much, the characters, the setting, and the humor. I looked forward to listening to it whenever I had the chance. It’s a delightful English vacation in a book!

Exactly what I needed right now. Although. Deeply unsatisfied with the typo on the last page.

Listen. I jumped around the book. I knew how it would end. It’s cliché. Would’ve been a good book if the plot wasn’t so done before.
Parents dead? ✅
Going to a different country to relive/see their story?✅
Meets two guys? ✅
Second guy is always the endgame?✅
Cliché?✅✅✅✅✅✅
It’s not even foreshadowing it’s just been there seen that done better.

This book didn’t keep me entertained. Laura (the main character) is unlikable and seems to live in this bubble of what she wants and believes is right and she won’t listen to anyone else. Although I personally believe in fate, I’m also very logical and it just came across that Laura never deeply thought about anything.
The storyline was also really predictable (as it is with most romance novels) but because the main female character didn’t interest me, I struggled to finish this book. Took me almost a month when I can usually finish books in 1-2 days.
Ted, Gerry and Sandy were the redeeming characters in this story and I loved them. Dee and Vanya were also nice additions, especially because they seemed like the “angel and devil” on Laura’s shoulders.

It was just alright. I mean the story idea was cute but I would have done SO many things differently. There were just so many goofy and unrealistic things that happened or were so cringy. And there was SO much detail about things, it was so long and there were so many side characters they gave so much time and dialogue to that I just didn’t care about. I needed more love, less detail.

Super cute and laugh out loud funny! If you get the audiobook, the narrator is brilliant!
