So much fun. I enjoyed the travel from my sitting room. With a slice of romance, perfect x x
Cute friends to lovers, felt the ending was a bit rushed but overall enjoyed it and only took a few hours to get through it ⭐️
Madison is a freelance travel journalist. One of her recommendations turns out to be bad. Together with Toby, a fotographer, she goes back, this time undercover, to write a new review.
Together they experience quite some adventures and they get really close friends. But one thing Madison got totally wrong about Toby.
The story is really funny (many LOL-moments), and the characters are really lovably. For fans of Janet Evanovich, Portia MacIntosh or alike

Holy mother of miscommunications. The FMC thinking that the MMC was gay up until around 80% of the story was quite a surprising and fresh element, but it also made the entire book quite bizarre. I appreciated the inexperienced male character representation, as it's not a very common trope in romance books.
Such a bizarre book. The writing style wasn't typical contemporary romance, and I like that. I liked that the MCs got to know each other as friends first and weren't just immature lusty adults.
I didn't like how fast paced it felt, no cute throw-away moments, like the author was hyperaware of chekovs gun, or maybe their editor made them cut out half the book. The wedding photography was so poorly done, no experienced photographer would sign onto a billionaire's wedding without a second shooter and maybe a third shooter, wouldn't keep the second shooter with them while they did bride prep photos, and would absolutely not hire on a friend who has never done professional photography!! The characters are also irrational for the sake of the plot and I'm not interested in it. Also there was so much build up for the MMC to have had rough experiences/bad childhood/whatever, but like that doesn't go anywhere. And one more thing, the FMC has this whole thing about her editor wanting to get her fired, and after she wins an award he screams at her because he doesn't think she deserves it, and he gets fired and she apologizes?? And he has this super humble kind response about how it's his own fault and he was projecting and blah blah and they're both like kind?? But he hated her and was mean to her a lot??
Anyway, I enjoyed reading it overall, but just. So much of it annoyed me, I lowkey felt like I was reading a 15 year old's fix it fic of their own life.

There was a lot I liked about this one, but honestly the main characters were both pretty uptight (I am, too, so I found it alternately delightful and blasé) which made it difficult to find their chemistry believable, also there were some rather fetched plot points... Including the main premise. I cannot believe they were such good friends that they would not discuss his sexuality... Truly. Anyway, the build up to the resolution at the end had me chuckling out loud, that alone made it worth reading. I also really liked many of the ways that their relationship dynamic defied gender norms. Anyway, there is a fair amount of strong profanity, nudity (for artistic photography scenes, primarily), and no descriptive intimacy.
