This was a cute Scottish read but I'm glad I had it on ebook and not physical as it is a tad forgettable. The storyline was interested, and the characters were good but I found the writing lacking. I liked it enough to continue to read but I doubt I'll remember this book in a few months.

The audiobook Scottish narration is abysmal.
The bones of this story and concept are so good, but this book just fell so flat. It did have me looking up how to emigrate to Scotland tho, the really only great part of this book was the Scottish man she fell in love with. She was told to be this cool high achieving woman, but we didn't see that. There is miscommunication galore and just overall 'meh'. I really wanted to love this one.

Nah, honey. Your boyfriend ghosted you while you were out of the country and invited his ex into his house for a drink.
Lying about his ex is definitely not on the same level as promising to keep something secret so that SOMEONE ELSE could tell the secret, when it’s their info to share. Not picking her up at the airport with no warning is also a red flag - not concerned about her safety when at a crowded airport in a foreign country. And drinking alone with his ex in his house instead of picking her up:

 πŸš©πŸš©πŸš© Run.

Cozy romance with yummy food, a 3rd act break up I could've lived without, found family, and all the Scottish summery vibes. A woman goes on a journey to find herself and finds true love and a purpose
