This was a fun rom-com about Dylan who is traveling to figure out what‘s next without family money, & he meets Addie who is managing the bed & breakfast. We see their love story unfold in “then” chapters & see why it ended in the “now” chapters when they inadvertently end up traveling to their friend‘s wedding together with her sister, his best friend who hates Addie, and a random guest.
Spicy & sweet & quite the adventurous road trip!

Road trip reading.

Like The Flatshare, it took me a while to get into this, but once I did I was hooked. The Now/Then structure was annoying until it really made sense. O‘Leary writes books that seem fluffy but have serious depths eventually. Not for everybody, probably, but I‘ve liked both of her books I‘ve read.

The classification has me cracking up. I mean, sure? But…why not.

For those of you doing my #ukroadtrip challenge, I'm aware that some of the counties I've listed may not exist anymore. My suggestion is you search for a book in a town/city that was in that county but put it in the newer category if I have it listed. This may mean certain counties can't be completed, but as there's no time limit on this challenge it doesn't really matter!

Surprisingly serious but smart, thoughtful, and well written. O‘Leary tells the a love story torn apart by depression, jealousy, doubt, pain and a particularly awful ‘friend‘. The #audio kept me listening but there were a couple of moments where I nearly bailed. In the end though, it was a special story of redeeming love, friendship, and family. I walked nearly 3.5 miles to finish listening! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Meh.
It was okay.
The storyline was very slow paced and nothing happened until the last third. The characters were just... dull, with the exception of Marcus who simply just needed his teeth knocking out!
The saving grace was how well such sensitive topics were dealt with.

I love spur of the moment trips and this one is right up there. Just the right balance of confidence, adventure and the scary unknown, with a dash of romance dropped in.

This was ultimately a fun rom com that works out perfectly in the end. Some characters were very annoying, but sensitive material was handled pretty well, and everyone went on an emotional journey.

It's a pretty realistic second chance romance with all the ups and downs, but I didn't find characters very lovable..

Because the list of UK counties I found has 113 (!!!) listed, I've decided to do my #ukroadtrip as a no time pressure challenge as I don't know how long it will take to complete (but think it will be more than a year). Feel free to join me! I've added some books already.

Hello all!
I have been traveling and visiting with my family for the past week. I promise to get to all your #FoodandLit and #LitsyCrafters posts as soon as I can! And I'll probably flooding your time line with catch up posts this week once I'm settled back home.

I saw this sign while driving and thought it was perfect for the end of Egypt #FoodandLit 🇪🇬

This was cute RomCom, there were a few laugh out loud moments. I liked the way it shifted from the point of view of each of the main characters.

It did drag a little at times, but still a good read.

Updating my Goodreads and #LexieCat is ready to pounce.

I LOVED The Flatshare & liked The Switch a lot but this one didn't appeal to me much. I'm trying to cut all these kids some slack as they're so young- esp in the "then" portions of the book- but most of them were one bad decision after another& it got tedious. He's supposed to be but Marcus was especially hard to take even in the "now" sections when he's supposedly grown so much. I read it all as I wanted to know what happened but it was just eh.
