Cute story about dating and all the different aspects there are to it. I, for one, am glad I am not dating in the year 2020.

In an enemies to lover romance, This one was a quick and fun summer read by the beach. Cute and predicable storyline.

The Dating Itinerary by Brooke Williams a four-star read that almost deserves more. This had all the makings of a five-star read, but it just missed a little something. The characters were good and the set up great, I couldn’t put my finger on what was missing, there was just something that didn’t sit right, that being said there was so much that did. Including Her Heart, the whole aspect ran through the story in a reminding manner and not in a manner that felt like it was being told but rather showing. I enjoyed meeting George, I don’t know if the same can be said of Gio, but hey ho what can you do, he played his part well. I will say I loved all of the Coynes and Penny was just sublime, I do hope we get to hear more from the money sisters, they are all single after all.

A cute, funny romance! This is a feel good book. There is banter, funny moments, chemistry and some heart filled truths about the dating world. When Penny Coyne and Geo Monais find themselves on opposite sides working towards a common goal, the game begins. What happens next is a hate-to-love story that makes the reader feel good. This was my first book from Brooke Williams and I liked it.
I received a free copy of this book via Netgalley and I am leaving an honest review.

Penny and George once worked together before he went on his own, now a series of dating events, apps, matchmakers and more brings them together years later.
The idea of this book was catching the problem is that there are a lot of missed opportunities in the plot the Coyle's naming their girls after currency, why they ended up in the same assignments, and more.
In all is an okay read with nice enough characters that somehow have chemistry.

I really liked the story and the chemistry between Penny and George. But all the George/Geo nonsense was a bit distracting, I mean, you can't blame all your faults on an alter ego and call it a day! Even more so when Geo wasn't so bad like Penny thought.

To date, or not to date? That is the question. Or rather, how to date.

Penny Coyne (yes, that was a purposeful name) is a writer for the St Louis Happenings, and she has just been assigned a new series - The Dating Itinerary, where she will be trying out different dates from using Tinder, to blind dating to a good old fashioned matchmaker. Only, she keeps on bumping into her old rival, Geo Monais....

The author attempts to weave in a tiny bit of suspense into the book, although it's not entirely designed to be a mystery as to how both Geo and Penny end up on a similar assignment. In my opinion, it was dealt with a little too quickly and easily and could have been expanded upon.

If we can quickly talk about characters: I found them to both be just okay. I didn't mind them and felt that they were nice enough. I did wince when George was introduced as "Geo", but you know, to each their own nickname, I suppose. Penny and Geo each appear to be good writers and to match each other well. I didn't feel as if their chemistry was absolutely blazing, but it was there.

What surprised me a little when I read it was the way the book dealt with sexual assault. First of all, snaps for bringing it up and talking about it. I appreciated how it was dealt with quite respectfully and in a manner that normalised talking about it. I would have a loved a bit more of exploration surrounding it rather than the quick resolution (note: it doesn't occur to a main character, it's just somewhat related to the motivations of a character).

Overall, this was a cute fun read. I was left feeling as if the plot and the characters could have been a little more developed, but nevertheless, I enjoyed it.

Note: I was very generously provided an ARC of this novel by the publisher and the author via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

This wasn’t a bad book, but it didn’t feel like a book being released in 2020. Instead, it felt more like a 1990s book, set in a world where newspapers give assignments on “dating” and one freelance writer aims at a syndicated column on ... [unclear] that is lucrative enough to help fund a charity that is aimed at ... helping women. There is a lot that’s not explained in this book, such as why parents with the last name Coyle could name their daughters Penny, Nickel, Dime, and Quarter and still seemingly have a good relationship with them.
The plot is pretty predictable, and the writing in the main characters’ voices felt very generic. What I did like was that you got a real sense that the main characters liked one another. That’s no small thing.

****The Dating Itinerary is a really cute story about two writers trying to position themselves for the big break. Geo had bested Penny once before when he’d received the promotion she’d earned. Is he positioning himself to do it again? Penny has been tasked with writing a series on various techniques used by singles to meet: speed dating, Tinder, matchmaker. Unbeknownst to either one, Geo is working on a similar story for a different publication. How will they cope when they learn the truth and end up working together? The story takes readers through Geo and Penny’s dating experiences, their reactions and their gradual realization that they might have met their match. Readers who enjoy Young Adult fiction should love this book. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book from NetGalley. Highly recommend.

Thank you netgallery and Entangled publishing for giving me this ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.
The Dating Itinerary is a book about two journalists who had once worked together in the past. It was clear that penny didn’t care much for Geo then. Penny took the position that Geo vacated in a bid to start out on his own.
It was an okay read. There was nothing really special about it to me. There was no wow moment for me and I struggled to read some of the beginning chapter. I just felt the story was lacking something. It had potential to be a great book but it was just an okay book. I Think my best character was Geo, but I really didn’t like the heroine penny. Thank very much for the chance to read this book and share my honest review.

This was a cute book about two writers doing various schemes to write about finding love. It was a quick read and enjoyable but nothing memorable about it. Thank you to netgalley for the arc.

Well, this is sweet.

The dating itinerary is a warm and light work based rom-com. Both lead characters are relatably flawed without being annoying. One thing did bother me why are Penny and all her sisters named after currency and why is it never addressed? Whilst I did get over this by being distracted by the plot when they were all first introduced I was in disbelief. The plot of this book whilst fairly predictable is very enjoyable. The antics the Penny gets up to during her exploration of dating in St Louis are very comical. Penny's bad dates made some of the bad dates I have been on look like a great time. What can I say I highly recommend this as a light and fun break from our currently draining and challenging times.

This was a nice sweet funny book! I did enjoy reading it but nothing major happens, it was definitely funny! I liked it ok but just ok if you're looking for a sweet light hearted read and a decent storyline this one's for you! Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!
