This book was such a fun book. The wit, puns, overall banter was just unmatched. Like an episode of Gilmore Girls meets Sophie Kinsella, but less chaotic and with a grumpy MMC. It doesn’t get better than that. One of my favorites quotes and prime example of the colorful banter is “We co-exist in silence long enough that an inkling of color threatens the cloudy horizon. It is the La Croix flavor of sunrise, an almost imperceptible taste.”

It was funny and emotional and you were just rooting for the characters from the get go. It was also a little bit suspenseful, because you were just wondering what on Earth was going to go wrong for them next. It did lose me a little bit about halfway through, because the slow burn seemed to be a little too slow, combined with them traveling for what seemed like forever. But I was right back in it when the spice hit hehehe.

Now we just need a sequel for Berkeley and Will’s story…right????

After a disastrous meet-cute in an airport parking lot, Luke and Cassidy find themselves in another pickle--their plane had to make an emergency landing in the middle of nowhere and their replacement flight was canceled. Both are desperate to get back on the road, but only Luke is able to snag a rental car. Guilty over their first interaction, Luke offers Cassidry a ride that she has no choice but to accept. Together the two find themselves on an unexpected journey across the country.

I'm absolutely obsessed with this! The banter was A+ and Luke and Cassidy had great chemistry (the spice was on point!!). I loved how well-developed the characters were. Their backstories connected perfectly with their actions and reactions and that is one of my favorite things! I completely understood why they did or said certain things because we get a good understanding of where they are coming from. I will say, however, that the road trip mishaps were ridiculously over the top (and some were borderline unbelievable), but this all added to the lighter, fun parts of the story. Also, if the next book isn't about Berkeley and Will, I will riot.

Planes, Trains, and All the Feels is a fun read that draws you in and doesn't let you go.

From the first chapter, I was laughing with (not at!) Cassidy and Luke as they begin their cross country trek together.

From her frustration at him stealing her parking spot to their getting stuck in Missouri (Im from MO and feel their pain!) it is easy to get caught in their journey from friendship to more.

This was the perfect book to read while I was on my vacation. I laughed and smiled my way through their journey.

Cassidy loses her parking space, has the shuttle leave without her and barely makes the flight which is aborted due to a cracked windshield. Luke takes her parking space which he thinks is his and didn't notice the shuttle door closing. They both are having a frustrating day. They decide to share a rental care and drive because a winter storm has shut down flights. To say they have a series of bad luck and misadventures is an understatement. They grow in their attraction and make the best of what would have left me crying curled up in the fetal position. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and as tough as things were for them during the trip and after, I still was left feeling hope and light.

Thanks to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for an ARC of this book.

What a wild ride this book was !! Two strangers end up "travelling' together, or at least attempt to travel together because if anything could go wrong, it does. How the characters dealt with these misfortunes, and each other, kept me engaged from the first chapter. The banter back and forth between them was well done, and just so much fun. I'll admit when they stopped travelling and arrived at their destinations (about 75% through the book), it slowed down a bit for me, but overall, the book is a delight.

Planes, Trains, and All the Feels is my first book by author by Livy Hart. But I really enjoyed her writing style. This story had it all... sweet love connection, laugh-out-loud humor, relatable characters, and a love story with a happily, ever after!

I recommend this one! And cannot wait to read other books by Livy Hart!

Planes, Trains and All the Feels...! Where do I even begin? This was my first book by Livy Hart and won't be my last. The book starts off with what feels like a mess of a heroine, Cassidy, and a got it all together hero, Luke, having the worst first moments together. Scratch that, make it days together. They are thrust together in one worst case scenario after another and begin to rely on each other to make it through the events right from the start, even though they may be gritting their teeth with one another (at first). I loved the development of getting to know these characters. They are both so much more than they seem and watching their understanding and compassion for one another grow as more and more crazy obstacles come their way was truly lovely. It was a slow burn for sure but once this couple realizes what they could be together it is all fire and heat! Neither H/h is without flaws but together they seem to make it all work in the end. A definite must read for the year!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I was expecting this to be your typical rom/com, chick lit book, but it was much more. Sure, it is a romantic comedy that will appeal mostly to women, but it has so much more substance than your typical rom com. The characters of Cassidy and Luke are the definition of opposites attract. Cassidy is fun loving and talkative. Luke is a straight-laced businessman who keeps his feelings to himself. When circumstances put them together for a cross country road trip, they naturally open up. Told in alternating points of view the author does a great job of revealing both main characters' thoughts, vulnerabilities and dreams.

I loved the slow build of their relationship and their interactions, especially all of the small thoughtful things Luke does for Cassidy and the way she makes friends with everybody she meets. They are both struggling with family issues, and I think this is what gives the book more depth. While I normally glaze over multiple chapters of explicit sex scenes I will say these were unique and very steamy!

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read the ARC of this book. It was a wonderful mix of romance, comedy and heartfelt emotions. Great title too!

This book has all the makings of absolute cuteness. The premise is two strangers on the same cross country flight get stranded and have to find an alternative way to their destination. I happily abandoned my sense of reality to take this trip with this hate to love story line. The characters themselves are great even if not fully developed. Around 50% completion I started to worry about monotony but instead 60-85% of book completion went from the cutest, sweetest book to aggressively depicted sex scenes. After skipping ahead because that isn't as much my cup of tea, the book returns on track to its prior cuteness. The end shows just a bit of the flimsy character development now that the author is writing a storyline with drama but all well that ends well. Overall I liked the idea and premise, but between the unwanted steam factor and a little repetition of content, I left feeling entertained but not enriched. Thanks Net Galley for the ARC.

I didn’t like this quite like I did her last book Talk Flirty to Me, but I enjoyed myself reading it anyway. The book is a fun and chaotic story. Decent amount of spice once you hit the 60% ish mark.

I haven’t read a book all in one night in years but that’s exactly what I did last night with this book. I just could not put it down!

Planes, Trains, and All The Feels is funny, heartfelt, romantic and steamy. Definitely one of my top reads this year!

Was this review helpful?

I didn't really like either of our main characters. I feel like a book with the friends Berkeley and Will would be more interesting. I also liked the side drama with Cassidy's sister and mom and Luke's mom better than the main story. It was a fun enough read but not particularly memorable.

Kindly received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Livy Hart's Planes, Trains, and All the Feels is a delightful travel tale. She makes her characters vulnerable yet loveable. Highly recommended for all public libraries!

Planes, Trains and All the Feels really gives you ALL the feels! Hart writes a novel that contains equal parts comedy, romance, and spice! What turned into a disaster of a travel situation turned out to be one of the best romance books that I have read this year. I was right along for the ride with Cassidy. I enjoyed that Hart wrote Cassidy such that she is so funny and so witty. Cassidy and Luke started out as polarizing but in reality, they were similar. It was so easy to fall in love with these characters. It was just as easy to fall in love with the friends, Berkley and Will! They were equally funny, even if they were in a supporting role. Hart was artful in her build up of the chemistry between Cassidy and Luke. I believed all the chemistry they had; nothing felt fake or forced. By the end, I envisioned this being made into a movie! The only reason I couldn’t rate it 5 stars is that, while I felt the chemistry between the two, they were professing how much they were so in love with each other so quickly. Otherwise, it’s really the perfect romantic comedy. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a great romance novel.

Planes, Trains, and All the Feels hit all of the right notes for me. Cass and Luke are great characters and I was rooting for them the entire time. Great story with spice

I requested to read and review this book for free from Entangled Publishing Company. This book will have you laughing, possibly crying, yelling and cheering on the characters in the book. Cassidy and Luke will do anything for their family! Luke is going home to surprise his family and see what is going on. Cassidy is on her way home to help with her sisters wedding. But what happens when their plane has issues. Well you rent a car of course. But when they have to share the car bad luck seems to follow them. These two don't have a think in common and argue about everything. But can they find middle ground to make the trip bearable? How far are you willing to go to get home? Thus book can be read anywhere and by a mature audience only.

Cassidy and Luke are about to be your new favorite couple! This book is about being unlucky in life but lucky in love. I fell in love with the characters from the first page. So much banter and sexual tension and will they/won't they/why the heck haven't they just jumped each other's bones yet?! I definitely didn't want this one to end. Thank you @entangled_publishing for the arc! Make sure to pick this one up as soon as you can get your hands on it!

“Cassidy Bliss, you really are something else. And thank God for that, because it’s exactly the thing I’ve been missing.”

This was such a cute and fun book with so many adventures and a couple with very good chemistry! Luke & Cassidy were polar opposites but fit together so perfectly. I enjoyed the theme of this book, it was very exciting and engaging. I enjoyed reading Luke & Cass go through their shenanigans. I loved how slowly but gradually they connected and learned more about each other on their way. Overall, it was a very fun experience. I loved the side characters Will & Berkley, they were amazing friends and bought humour in the story. If you like a lighthearted book with some travel catastrophes that bring two people with totally different personalities together, this is the book for you!

Thank you Netgalley for providing me this ARC

Thank you netgalley and Entangled Publishing for allowing me to read this book. This book was cute but the main characters felt immature towards each other and incompatible. I wanted more chemistry between Cassidy and Luke but I did enjoy the depth of the characters. I liked the adventure and diving deeper into the family struggles they had. The best part was everything falling into place in the end!
