Cue Oliver, cute, British, and sitting next to her on the flight she is now on from JFK to Heathrow, where she will only have matter of only a few hours to get across London from the airport to a Kensington church for the wedding she really does not want to be a part of.
It is a sappy meet-cute story of two teenagers, one American, still angry at her parents divorce, and the other British, who is a student at Yale, who share a transatlantic trip where they have a connection but can it last beyond a flight and parting ways at passport control in one of the busiest airports in the world?
I owned a copy of this book and listened to it on cloudLibrary. I read this for prompt 34, timeframe spans a week of less, for the 52 Book Club Reading Challenge 2024.

You won't feel anything from this book because there's simply nothing in it. You won't feel a connection to the characters, the plot, or the story.
In a few months, I will see this book sitting on my shelf and I will say to myself, "I can't remember anything that happened in this book." It's not a terrible book by any means, but it's very forgettable.
It's not like I had to force myself to read this book because it was bad, but I wouldn't recommend spending any time on it. There's nothing particular that I didn't like, but there is nothing that stands out to me that I did like.
It's very back and forth with this book, it's good but it's also not good.

Nothing groundbreaking but a really great palate cleanser, quick read if that's what you're looking for! I almost wish I read it while waiting in an airport. It just feels like that's where this one is meant to be consumed!
Now I'm off to see how Netflix chose to tell this story!
