Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Group Putnam for an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

n

I really enjoyed the concept of this story, but overall ended up wanting a little more. n

n

Dylan is a writer for a lifestyle magazine curating quizzes. She was tired of it and wanted a change. One day she took a chance in a radio contest to win a trip around the world for six weeks, which sounds amazing.

nn

She won! The only catch, the radio station gets to choose someone at random from Dylan’s phone contacts to go with her. n

n

“Jack the Posho” was chosen from her list. He was someone that she had met for only one night and then ghosted him, which he brought up immediately on the radio.

nn

The banter that Dylan and Jack have is great. I laughed many times at the responses that Dylan had given him. It reminded me alot of The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren in that sense. n

n

I would have given this four stars but I was expecting to get more descriptions on their travels. I had a bit of a hard time imagining where they were at times. The book also touches on some heavy topics which were a bit unexpected, however, they were done well.

nn

I also kind of wished we got to hear from Jack and his thoughts throughout the story. I would have enjoyed this more as a dual POV.

Final Score: 3.5/5
