Planes, Trains, and All the Feels is perfection!
Cass and Luke are Grumpy-Sunshine and Adversaries-to-lovers in this laugh out loud and achingly sweet romantic comedy.
Both trying to get across the country, Cass and Luke team up, albeit reluctantly, and meet with one disaster after another on their journey. As the hardships bring them closer together they have to rely on each other more and more and start questioning first impressions.
This book is truly a gem. I laughed until my stomach hurt at some points (comparing a cars reliability to the pull-out method caught me totally off guard and I startled some customers when I burst into laughter) and I cried from the absolute sweetness of some of the moments they shared. With excellent side characters and just the right amount of heat to pull it all together, I really can’t say enough good things about this book.

Trains, Planes, and All the Feels by Livy Hart
Like the movie this title is a play on, this is about two weary travelers trying to make it home while encountering every travel delay that they could possibly imagine. They also start out really not liking each other. Cassidy is a dancer/choreographer trying to make it home for her sister’s wedding and Luke is an actuary going home to help take care of his sick mother.
After the first major travel delay, they team up to get home, and enter a tentative truce. As the trip goes on, their attraction to and understanding of each other grows.
This is a cute book, but if you’re coming into it expecting the same tone as the movie, it’s not that. It’s a contemporary romance, but it’s not a rom-com, so I wouldn’t necessarily anticipate that. The trip itself felt a little slow getting started, and the end of the ⅓ mark, I wasn’t sure if I was going to finish. There just wasn’t enough happening (other than two people traveling together and talking to each other) to feel compelling enough to want to know what was going to happen next. However, I’m really glad I kept going because it did get a little bit spicy towards the end, and I enjoyed it. It also felt like we were being set up for a sequel/another book in the same universe with Will and Berkley, and I’d be willing to tune in for that. Overall, there were some slow parts but I really enjoyed this!

3.5 - stereotypically enemies to lovers but bonus points for realistic sex scenes and a female character that was loveable but not a ditz
mollyb13's review
This is meant to be an enemies to lovers trope, but it isn't believable. The main characters are holding grudges for far too long over minor inconveniences that happened before they had been introduced. Someone taking a parking spot first and not waiting for a shuttle (when they couldn't hear the person yelling for them to stop) seem like silly things to be 'enemies' over... The female main character (Cassidy) is especially annoying, not giving any slack to Luke who is obviously helping her out!
