Another book club read! This one was cute but fairly predictable. Giving it a 6.3/10.
I did appreciate how the author just jumped right into the plot. The beginning took off quickly, however, then the book became fairly unrealistic and predictable - a classic romance novel cliche. There was a lot of repetition and back and forth which got old quickly. I did enjoy the premise as van life has always been a fantasy of mine, so it was a nice concept and I did enjoy those aspects of the book. It was a very quick and easy read. I wouldn’t tell anyone they shouldn’t read this book, but it’s definitely not a “MUST” read. If you’re into romance novels, this might be your jam. I also think it would make a cute movie !
