This was an enjoyable read. I’d like to read more from this author based on their believable storylines and their unique and well developed characters.

This book had me hooked from page one, very charming! I consumed it in about one day, and it was so fun to read. Have already recommended to friends!

Another great book by Laura Jane Williams. I really enjoyed seeing the character development throughout the book. I wanted to keep reading to see what would happen next.

This was the perfect book for me as I am in desperate need of a vacation (for context about a week ago was my first time outside my house/ in a car in a year). Best enjoyed with something fruity!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC which I received in return for an honest review.

This book was nothin like I expected but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I did read this book on vacation and it was a perfect beach read, especially during the honeymoon part. This romantic comedy book was fun, entertaining and would make a great movie as well!

What I loved about this book:
-Patrick and Annie's chemistry
-how brave Annie is
-Annie's family and friends

What I didn't love about this book:
-the honeymoon part was shorter than I would've liked
-Annie and Alexander's miscommunication and lack of maturity in their relationship

I can't wait to read more by this author!

Super cute romance. No one wants to be left at the alter, but to still be able to go on your honeymoon with a hot guy you knew 20 years ago. Heck yes! Not ready for romance or to get back into a relationship yet? Who cares just go and have fun. Great read!

They say to not judge a book by its cover and I did just that. This cover really drew me to this book. This was a little slower then what I would have liked but I enjoyed it. It was fun and cute. It kept me entertained.

Laura Jane Williams came on to my radar in 2019 with Our Stop, which was delightful. She has created another delightful story with The Lucky Escape! I particularly enjoyed the second chance story line and how relatable the main character is. She wallowed in the same way I would've done. I will definitely be purchasing this book for my library and can already think of several readers to hand it to!

This was a decent read. I was expecting a light hearted, easy romantic read but what I got was not really that, which was definitely a bit misleading. It's a bit more heavy than what I would have liked. All in all, it was okay.

In this book a jilted bride goes on a honeymoon solo and finds love again. Is this a life changing, new territory treading book? I mean no, no it’s not. Is it a lot of fun? Why yes it is! Recommend for rom com lovers of all ages.

After Annie is abandoned at the alter, she takes her honeymoon with an old friend. And that’s about all you need to know…this was fine. I wasn’t super impressed - I feel like “the scorned woman on her honeymoon falls in love again” has been done before. It also felt long at times. I just wasn’t a fan.

Thanks to @NetGalley and Harper 360 for my ARC!

Wasn't the biggest fan of it, especially the main character. I found her to be irritating and indecisive.

This was billed as a jilted bride/solo honeymoon story but I found myself waiting for the honeymoon longer than I wanted. In hindsight I think that set up the characters and relationships better than just whisking Annie away, but it did make me a little frustrated while reading. Happily, the honeymoon part is as great as expected, and then we come back to London and I felt like her job became this almost forced character, the fight was odd and didn’t to quite fit, and the flat a little too perfect. But! After Australia I was just rooting so hard for them - I adored Patrick - and so I really didn’t care as long as it made things work out happily in the end.

Unfortunately I just couldn’t get into this book. The writing just wasn’t for me.

The characters calling each other by nicknames all the time was just bizarre to me, and I just didn’t vibe with the story.

Thank you Netgalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest opinion.

Your long time partner turned fiancé leaves you the day of your wedding. Do you go on your already booked honeymoon? Do you go alone or bring a friend. This is Annie’s situation as the book starts out.

This book definitely brought out all the feels. The heartbreak, the healing, the self love, just to name a few. Annie is very relatable and I loved Patrick! This is such a great book about finding oneself and finding love.

This was such a quick and cute rom com read. I enjoyed the vacation vibes even being in the cold of November. I would definitely recommend this book!

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper 360 for the eARC for me to review.

My favorite kind of reads are vacation books. Annie gets left at the alter by her fiance, but still has this amazing honeymoon that is already paid for. After a chance encounter with a friend from the past, she takes a risk and invites him on the trip. I was living vicariously through Annie as she had an amazing 3 week luxury vacation in Australia! Of course, the romance between Patrick and Annie was a nice addition. I was rooting for them the whole time.

Such a great storyline. I loved the characters and couldn’t put it down! I want to read more from this author!

These characters had such charm!! This story was a lighthearted, quirky story of how you deal when dealt the unexpected.. This book would make a great addition to any book club and will be sharing it with anyone who wants to talk to me about it!

Thank you to Netgalley, the author, and publisher fo this copy in exchange for an honest review!

I thought this book was so well written. Annie and Patrick’s characters were perfectly portrayed as your average, every day people struggling with the emotional weight of life’s curveballs. They were old theater camp friends randomly reunited at a time when Annie was picking up pieces of her shattered life. Annie was jilted on her wedding day, but decided to still go on her honeymoon with none other than Patrick himself. I thought this part was a little far fetched, but rolled with it knowing that something exciting and substantial would come of it. Patrick helps Annie see her true self, a person she has long forgotten. And Annie shows Patrick that there is room in his heart for love after loss. They grow together in a very natural way that made me swoon and ship them hard!! When the honeymoon for the wedding that never was comes to an end, it’s not all rainbows and sunshine anymore. This is a big reason why I enjoyed this book, it showed that Annie and Patrick are both human and flawed. Their relationship hit some roadblocks that would be totally natural in a real life situation. I was a little worried how their relationship would pan out and I had a few moments where I thought, “Don’t make me hate you Annie Wiig.” Luckily there was significant character growth from both Annie and Patrick and the ending made me just as happy as the rest of the book.

This was super cute!! Was nervous at the beginning but it picked up and was an adorable read. Was rooting for the characters the entire time!
