I've never laughed so much reading a book like I did here and I do mean tears of laugher.
Christopher is so funny! It's such an amazing book, so worth reading.
2nd chances, finding yourself, compromising, family, backpacking for a year in Europe, Swoons galore.

I have been waiting in anticipation for this book ever since I finished Elliot’s book. Tristan Miles is one of my all-time favorite Book Boyfriends. I was counting down the days to read about Christopher!
Y’all. DNF at 24%. This book reads like it’s written by a 16 year old boy. Christopher is an idiot. He’s supposed to be in his early 30’s but he behaves like he’s 21. He’s crass and spoiled and not at all likable.
Hayden, from what I could get through, comes across as naive and boring. And frankly, they’re both too old for any of this.
As far as the writing goes, it’s choppy. Things happen and you’re not quite sure how or why. Catalyst moments are overblown, emphasizing the immaturity of the characters. And the worst part is, I just don’t care about anyone in this book (except for the brief mentions of Tristan).
Also, can we not with the slut shaming? And body shaming? Ugh.

“What are you doing here with me?” I whisper. “You should be out chasing girls.” “You’re my only girl,” he whispers.
this one started off strong and teetered towards the end… I loved the story line with Eddie but the 3rd breakup was not for me man

Just when I thought TL Swan couldn't get any better, she totally delivered and then some when she wrote THE DO-OVER, the fourth (and last) installment of the Miles High Club series. I don't know what it is about the book, but it really resonated with me. It's by far my favorite Miles High Club.
THE DO-OVER features the youngest Miles brother, Christopher Miles. At thirty-one years old, he is the Head of Marketing at his family's mega media company, Miles Media. His whole life, he's never really had to work hard for anything as it's been handed to him (and his brothers aren't shy to remind him of his privilege). Christopher is blessed with good looks and can get any girl he wants. But the one thing Christopher has not been able to do is have a girlfriend. It's by choice but he can't help but feel a little jealous when he sees his brothers happy with their families. Feeling empty inside, and in an effort to find himself, Christopher decides to take a sabbatical from Miles Media to travel around Europe for a whole year under the guise of a poor backpacker.
At his first destination he meets twenty-five year old Hayden Whitmore at the hostel. They initially bump heads but soon become fast best friends. Hayden isn't Christopher's usual type and they are as opposite as can be. Christopher is a playboy billionaire executive at a media magnate and Hayden is an innocent small-town girl who grew up on a farm and is looking for her Prince Charming. But Christopher is super attracted to her and the feeling is mutual. After being friend-zoned for what seems to be forever, they begin a hot and heavy affair. But can Christopher tamp down his own insecurities to have a real relationship with Hayden? And is Christopher enough for Hayden who's looking for a fairy tale romance?
While writing THE DO-OVER, TL Swan proclaimed that she was in love with Christopher and I have to say, I am, too. He is my favorite Miles brother and I had such a hangover after reading the book. I loved the story and adored Christopher and Hayden together. I loved watching their friendship blossom into real, unadulterated true love. I am sad that the Miles series is over but can't wait for their extended epilogues, Miles Ever After, to come out next Valentine's Day!
Thank you so much, NetGalley, TL Swan and Foreword PR, for the eARC in exchange for my honest review!

I knew from the very first page of this book this one probably wouldn't be the most popular in the series because of Christopher's behavior. However, I think it is probably the funniest.
Christopher is the youngest of the Miles brothers and very early we realize he is the typical spoiled, entitled rich kid. Only he is a grown man. The predicaments this man gets himself into are hilarious, particularly after those closest to him call him out on his personality flaws. So he gets this brilliant idea he is going to go backpacking through Europe. Hilarity ensues.
Hayden, the fmc, has grown up on a farm learning animal husbandry. She goes backpacking through Europe at the request of her family, wanting her to get out and see the world. I really loved her character. Watching her friendship with Christopher bloom is surprisingly sweet, considering the character we are introduced to at the beginning of the book.
By the time we reach the last page, I think Cristopher is the character who goes through the most personal growth in this book. Yes, it's a process. Yes, at times you will probably hate him but the journey is worth it.

More laughs and more tears. Overall, I ended up really loving this series.
