A warm, sexy, laugh-out-loud rom-com about a woman who, desperate for a fresh start, books a literary bus tour across the UK that consists of a lively group of elderly ladies plus one infuriatingly handsome Scottish driver.UK Bus Trip Goals: Crawl out of pajamas.Get over cheating bastard and his stupid ironed jeans. Have my first real adventure!Achieve stability, strength, and growth.Definitely do NOT kiss any British men.Alice loves a good list. But careful planning didn't stop her from losing her job and her fiance in one fell swoop. With her dreaded 30th birthday looming on the horizon, Alice makes the first impulsive decision of her life - booking a flight to the UK for a three-week, all-female, literary bus tour. What could possibly go wrong?Turns out - everything.Alice arrives to discover that this tour isn't what she expected. At all. Instead of cool, globe-trotting thirtysomethings with meaningful tattoos, she finds a rickety, antique bus full of fluffy-haired octogenarians. And to make matters infinitely worse, the tour guide makes her blood boil! And that devilish grin of his tells her he's dead set on making her trip a misery. But as they travel from castle ruins to cozy pubs, Alice may just find that she's got it all wrong. The ladies are vivacious. The book club chat is on fire. And damn if that mischievous smile doesn't threaten to turn her world upside down - and her beloved list right along with it!

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

I thoroughly enjoyed this literary, travelogue romance with a UK setting. I mean, how could a book that features attendance at the Whitby Goth Festival with a bus-full of totally game octogenarians be anything other than delightful? Castles, sheep, British slang, & cream tea only richen the pot.

I have some complaints, however…

First, the conflict hinges upon a stupid, avoidable misunderstanding. I hate this trope. Just talk to each other! 👇🏻

monalyisha 1/2: Also, the MC & love interest‘s relationship begins with an absolutely ridiculous, stilted level of grudge-holding & sauciness. She at least pokes fun at herself and her moods from time to time, like when she compares herself to Veruca Salt, e.g. “Annoyingly, he walked off before I got a chance to make any other stupid objections or demand that my father buy me the whole chocolate factory.” 6d
monalyisha 2/2: Additionally, there‘s a sprinkling of unnecessary exclamation points (which I know is rich coming from me!), along with references to “fat thighs”, JK Rowling (sans critique), and gendered language. However, the book also contains LGBTQ representation, lots of heart, quirky jokes, and innumerable nods to books much-adored by bibliophiles everywhere! Despite my nitpicking, I liked it much more than I didn‘t. 6d
monalyisha P.S. The MC‘s name is Alice Cooper, and the absurdity of this does NOT go unnoticed by the other characters. I used the steamiest accompanying pic I could find. 🐍 6d

CoffeeK8 Amazing review. I don‘t know if I could look past that name 6d
monalyisha @CoffeeK8 Oh, it‘s very much a bit! Self-awareness will grant you lots in my book. 😅 6d
CoffeeK8 @monalyisha oh gotcha. I can get into a book when the author is in on the joke too! 6d
Amiable I too hate the trope of avoidable misunderstandings that cause unnecessary drama. 😖 6d
MatchlessMarie Sounds ridiculous and I love your commentary 😆 6d

Finally, an enemies to lovers story where the characters are funny, not cruel and the supporting characters are more than just cardboard cutouts to hold a space. Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for an advance copy.

I really loved this one! Woman finds herself alone, unemployed, and unsatisfied and takes a spur of the moment trip that will change her life. A literary bus ride through the UK? Yes, please! When she discovers all the other tour members are centenarians, the bus is less than modern, and the driver enjoys messing with her, will she find a way to enjoy herself? 😉 Reader, she will! #netgalleygroup #BookspinBingo #Doublespin
