This book is called “Gigi, Listening“ in the US. It is a fun, light rom-com (with very little 'spice'), set for the most part on a bus tour in England. I enjoyed the book, but admit there were times when I thought Gigi was a little wacky in her obsession of Zane. I found the stories about the other people on the bus tour gave the book some added depth. It is an easy read with lots of humour and may just have you planning a trip to England. 4/5
