Emergency Contact by Lauren Layne

Fun read but I was left a bit unimpressed.
I did not feel the connection between Katherine and Tom. The banter was cute at first but then started really getting on my nerves.
The planes trains and automobile journey started off well and entertaining enough but again I got irritated and kept rolling my eyes at everything that happened.
I was surprised at the focus on the slap stick “comedy” in the train compartment, in the bus, and of the truck driver. For instance, truck driver Gordie / Gordy was eating a hamburger and the way the story focussed on this physical appearance and eating (burping) was really off putting to me. I did not get at all why the authors chose to write about that in such a way (nothing against describing burping, just how it was used to tell the reader things about the character).
I felt bad for Lolo. Yes Tom and Lolo were clearly not a good match, but man up and take care of that, and not a few hours before proposing!!
The narrators were very good!
Read as an audiobook.
I received an ARC of this book (thanks!) and these are my own opinions.
