6 stars!! This was such an original story and ut was absolutely amazing. I laughed out loud at parts of this and the rest of the time I kept a grin on my face. Nothing like enimes to lovers to step siblings to more. Lol this is an absolute must read!!!

I love a good enemies to lovers with witty banter. This story sucked me in from the very beginning. I finished it in one sitting!

I absolutely adored this story! I loved how she is a journalist and living her passions. I loved the character journey and how they came together.

A cute and funny read which is perfect for summer time. There are tropes such as forced proximity and workplace rivals to lovers. These tropes definitely are my favorites so I really enjoyed reading this book and I'll probably read some more by Jo Watson now.

This was such a peaceful and cheery read ❤️ it's a Hating Game-esque workplace rivalry to lovers (they share a desk) + a forced proximity trope because they win a joint vacation at their company's quiz night.

💫 Their banter was so much fun! The book is entirely narrated by the FMC, and it was so cheery to see the banter go from snipe-y to friendly to flirty 😭
💫 The vacation plotline was also so fun! There were some amazing-ly bonkers side character interactions, a bunch of historically informative tourist scenes, and really lovely settings for the MCs' interactions
💫 The third-act breakup hurt 🥲 but the makeup was cheesy and amazing in the best way 😭

TWs - death of parent due to cancer (off page, but heavily mentioned), death of parent due to a vehicular accident (off page, mildly mentioned), grief, cheating in a marriage (past relationship) followed by divorce

-- ty to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for an advanced copy!

What Happens On Vacation is a sweet story, if a little predictable. Lovers of enemies-to-lovers, workplace romance, and vacation romance will all find something to enjoy here. The colorful background characters have a strong presence and are incredibly likable. At times, the book felt like it was trying to do too many things simultaneously, but it did wrap up with a lovely 90’s-themed prom moment!

I really struggled to finish this book. Mostly because it just felt longer than it needed to be. The beginning was good, but once they were actually on vacation I just felt like the plot line dragged out. While the story overall is cute I just needed it to move a bit faster.
