Super cute! 4.5 stars for all the smiles and laughs!

What I liked:
✈️ The ex-spouses’ banter was top notch! It was hilarious, relatable, and definitely showed all the chemistry that brought this couple together in the first place.

✈️ I loved watching the female grinch have sentiment only for the boy scout, and the perfect planner go completely off course for the crazy trainwreck. These two were perfect together.

✈️ I loved all the Planes, Trains, and Automobiles feels to this book. One thing after another kept stalling them on their journey back home, and it was glorious! I also appreciated the reference to the film and the thought of, which one of them is really John Candy?

✈️ It was a quick and hilarious read. I laughed out loud at several points in the book and smiled at even more. Overall, a nice clean romance, which you will likely never see me write again without an eyeroll behind it or excessive italicization.

✈️ Finally, I love that this was written by an actual couple. You could feel the passion and relatability to both loving someone so much you can’t stand it and simultaneously wanting to hit them over the head with a comically large frying pan.

What could have been better:
✈️ I didn’t love that he had a girlfriend that he was planning to propose to the whole time, but I did appreciate that nothing happened between the characters until he had broke things off with her.
