Fun, adventurous, with quirky side characters that get their own stories too. This would be a great summer read.

I really liked this one! I worried at the start that I was going to find Gigi annoying but I quickly grew to love her. I also really liked the whole cast of characters she ends up on the tour with. And of course, the descriptions of England and the nostalgia for being on a bus tour only helped matters.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with a free ARC of this novel.

Escape is a big reason I came. Escaping the sadness of my story - of never again having my mom and dad in my life. Of knowing that anything that happened in the future would never be something I'd get to share with them."

This story was more than just a romance (no spice), it was a journey to self discovery after a unspeakable loss.

We follow Gigi the expert on all things love. She reads them, sells them in her romance bookshop, and she spends hours dreaming up her own meet cute with her favorite audiobook narrator - Zane. She's convinced Zane is her soul-mate. For her 30th birthday, her friends gift her a trip to Europe. What do you know, Zane is the tour guide!

Maybe I can just shut everyone out for the next ten days and pretend it's just the two of us after all. Just him and me, together.

I mean she is obsessed! She mentions her love for Zane in almost every paragraph :/

So Gigi's misguided quest for love takes her on an adventure through the English countryside on a 10-day bus tour. But as Charlotte says "mishaps makes memories" and that's exactly what happens! Aboard the bus we meet a cast of characters. We get an in-depth description of these characters and I honestly really enjoyed it.

The bus tour takes Gigi all over England and I really enjoyed the picturesque landscape. Gigi was adorably sweet and I loved journey to growth throughout the book, however, it took her a while to reach that point. At times she was so busy pining over Zane that she wouldn't let herself enjoy the moment - aggh it was so frustrating.

It wasn't a perfect romance, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. It's a perfect vacation book!

CW: alcohol, dementia, death of a parent, grief, injury/injury detail

(I was gifted a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review)
