What a delightful trip! With a wide ranging cast of characters, quirky antics, jet setting, great narrating and hilarity around every corner, I really enjoyed my audiobook experience. I didn't read a ton of the synopsis before I dove in and was pleasantly surprised to hear half of the book was set in Germany- a country we just got back from. A great summer romp.

A lovely summer read when you need some armchair travel and an upswing.

Got the audio from library . I wasn’t feeling the story so I returned back early to library so other readers could enjoy.

This was a fun summer listen. I liked that the plot was a bit more complicated than some of these types of books, but not all of the characters were fully fleshed out. I didn’t liked it as much as The Sweet Spot, but still enjoyed it. (Also some of the narrators were better than others in terms of handling the accents.)

Loved the sweet spot but this was more of a struggle to feel excited about reading. Starts like The Holiday and is frustrating in how quickly the characters move without thinking.
