Kit and Theo were supposed to go on a European food tour four years ago, but they broke up on the way to the trip. Four years later, both, unbeknownst to the other, decide to use the voucher they received on the same trip. It’s not until they get on the bus that they discover they are on the same trip. Now they are trapped with each other for three weeks of travel across Europe. Because they are so over each other they challenge each other to see how many people they can hook up with while travelling. They begin to discover that spending time with each other is as fun as before. 

 

First off, the food tour was truly transporting and I loved how it set the scene for this trip. We got to experience the idyllic countryside of France, Spain and Italy and I loved I felt as if I were in these towns. I also thought the cast of characters Kit and Theo meet along the way were perfect and such huge additions to the story. 

 

I thought, in the first half, we got a good insight into Kit and Theo’s relationship and why things ended the way they did. We then get the second half told from Kit’s perspective and learn that not all is as it seems. You begin to realize that both Kit and Theo changed after their break-up and became more of their own people. 

 

This second chance romance, while bumpy at times was a story that was beautiful for Theo and Kit. You can tell they truly care and love each other, but are frustrated by how things ended. I loved learning the break-up caused them to understand themselves more and make themselves more able to manage a relationship. If you love a story about a second shot at first love, this is the book for you.
