The romcom of my dreams! Seriously, I can’t remember the last time I read one that hooked me from the very first chapter and held my undivided attention all the way through.

It was genuinely so funny! An almost one-night stand turns into an unplanned road trip as reluctant travel partners Ada and Jack realize they’re both heading to the same wedding. With 83 hours to spare—and a packed veil that must stay pristine—it’s a literal race against time, filled with chaotic pit stops that constantly threaten to derail their plans.

The banter was its own form of comedy! I was obsessed. Sarcastic, effortless, witty—the kind that leaves you giddy and grinning. Plus, the romance was such a satisfying slow burn!

Ada’s dealing with some lingering heartbreak and career doubts, while Jack is the very definition of a commitment-phobe. It may seem like a typical conflict, I know, but the way everything was explored felt so fresh, heartfelt, and real. The focus on healing, taking the time to work on yourself so you can be the best version of you for someone else, was just so lovely. All the stars!
