Work in Progress by Kat Mackenzie
medium-paced
4.25
A cute and fun romcom, perfect for those, like me, who wish they could drop everything and take their own literary vacation. Alice Cooper's impulse purchase of a three-week tour around the UK seemed like a grand idea at the time, but as soon as she sets foot in Heathrow it's like the universe is conspiring against her. Specifically when she comes face-to-face with the infuriatingly rude tour guide, a man she is going to have to actively try not to strangle over the coming weeks.
Kat Mackenzie's debut novel is a wonderfully entertaining tale of friendship and finding yourself again when you've lost your way. I won't lie, the first couple chapters were rough and I was kind of hoping Alice would land a punch, but by the end I couldn't help but root for Robbie. The addition of the rest of the tour ladies made for such hilarious and sweet cast of side characters, and I loved seeing Alice embrace her new friends and all their quirks. Overall this was a lovely read and I can't wait to see what Mackenzie writes next.
P.S. The inclusion of a reading list as part of the story was perfection! I need all books to come with recommended reading from now on.
Thank you to Avon and Harper Voyager and NetGalley for the digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.
