APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Laura Jane Williams is quickly becoming a real rom-com favourite. 2019’s Our Stop was one of the year’s feel-good hits, and here she serves up another escapist treat—ably assisted by Carrie Hope Fletcher’s engaging narration. We meet our heroine Annie as she prepares for a wedding that sees her jilted at the altar. With her heart in repair, Annie happens upon an old friend, Patrick, who encourages a fresh can-do attitude and the pair soon end up embarking on Annie’s honeymoon together. Williams’ writing is a delight throughout: touching, laugh-out-loud funny and possessing an ability to capture characters you’ll be rooting for throughout.
