What can I say, this book was a fun little read good for the beach or sitting poolside I absolutely loved it.

This was a very solid read. The best way to describe this book would be to say that it is a comedy of errors in every sense of the world. It would have been an exquisite fast read, however not only did the ending plot twist come out of left field, but it seemed tacked on and very contrived. If the characters had felt the gravity of that ending, then maybe I would have been okay with it. Also... I cared far more about the interaction between Webb and Coco than Daisy and Andrew. I believe that is due in part to the fact that the author more often than not writes for young adults.

Still, despite the review it was a fun read and I will probably read it again.

A cute fluffy read. Four narrators, which at times is annoying, but not the end of the world. A bit cliched, but a good beach/pool read with a bit of a twist on the normal chick-lit rom-com genre.

Cute book. The ending was disappointing, it felt rushed and didn’t really feel finished after building up so much.

Amazon bargain purchase.

Cute but simple with alternating chapters between adults and their teenaged kids all mixed up in different permutations of a whirlwind European romance. There's a silly political subplot but mostly it's just a lighthearted romance with a view of the inner monologue and insecurities of all the people involved.

Read in one sitting. Didn't require a lot of concentration. Probably great to read on a flight or by the pool.

Man teenagers are moody. Reading this actually gave me flashbacks to some of my own interactions with my mom. In the moments I felt justified in my brattiness, and so did Coco. The names in this were a little too quirky and niche for my taste, and it made up a decent portion of the banter in the book. This story us as much about the adult relationships as much as it was about the teens, and while it isn't marketed as YA it definitely could be. If I suspend my horror at these kids running across Europe with no phones and their parents having no idea where they are, it's cute. The miscommunication made me want to bang my head on the wall and the twist/resolution at the end was incredibly random. I might try another book by this author, but maybe shift more towards her normal wheelhouse.
