Brit is unbelievably naive and ridiculous. She's 25, from a country club family, but has barely traveled and doesn't understand traveling basics?? Very unrealistic. I kept waiting for the story to improve but at 65% I've wasted enough time. I paid for this book. 😩

i saw this advertised a couple months ago and i was super excited to read it!
the stranded-then-travelling-together was different than what id imagined but still really fun and i enjoyed the two mc's together, as well as the way they both developed as characters.
i loved the end, it wrapped up nicely and im very happy for them and what they finally achieved.❤️
out of all the great moments the epilogue rope swing scene stole my heart-

This was more emotional than I was expecting and it really felt like I went on the emotional journey with them whilst enjoying the plot twists and adventures of their physical journey
I love a book with a good road trip in it (mainly for the forced proximity between the MCs) and this was so fun, it took me a while to warm up into it, just as things seemed straight forward and we were only really seeing the characters at surface level stuff. But the further they got into their journey, the more plot twists that kept coming, and the more we got to know the characters and they were opening up the more I enjoyed it
- forced proximity
- strangers to lovers
- road trip
- 1st person, duel pov
CW: Grief (prev death of a love one, happened pre-book) unhealthy/toxic relationships with parents, alcoholic parent
Thank you to Headline Eternal and NetGalley for the ARC, all opinions are honest and my own

“Grief is a wave, ebbing and flowing, and all you can do to survive it is to learn how to swim.”
A beautifully well written book about grief, letting go and accepting yourself instead of trying to be someone else.
I absolutely love this road trip romance story, I can feel the chemistry between the main characters – Nick and Brit. I love their bantering and their opposite personality makes this story even more interesting.
Not just a cute and funny rom-com, this book also has some emotional parts that really touched my feelings. Both characters has their own kind of grief to process and I love seeing them helping one another.
Overall, this is an enjoyable and entertaining light hearted contemporary romance with great plots and loveable characters!
I’m looking forward to read more books from this author in the future!
If you’re looking for a cute and emotional love story with forced proximity, opposites attract and grumpy x sunshine tropes – you’ll have to pick this one up for sure!

Have you ever just read one of those books that hits you right in the blood pumping machine and kind of shocks you out of the doldrums of a genre?
Well, Wish Lists & Road Trips was one of those books for me. Frankly I’m unwell but it’s the type of unwell you are after over indulging in something delicious… you just know you’re gonna do it again with a big ol’ smile on your face! And I plan on taking this journey again when I have the paperback in my hands!
Brit & Nick start off at the wrong time, on the wrong foot, on the wrong dock, because really they should be on a deck on a cruise ship that has left port! It’s just a series of bad luck and misfortune from there on out. Or is it? Honestly traveling with someone who is your polar opposite is one of the greatest joys, even if you are unaware of it at the time.
These characters are on different and yet somehow similar paths. Desperate for a change or to get back to reality only to learn from one another that maybe they’re going about it all wrong! They also both get much needed shoves from those who love them most, and those scenes were some of my favourites!
I laughed, cried, fanned my face because whoa steamy steamy steam, cried some more and awed and sighed a whole helluva lot! This book felt so much bigger than a rom com. It has depth and heart and challenges the reader’s own perception of grief and personal growth. I loved it!
