I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I'm skeptical about romance with insta-love, and I was worried Carla would be written as flighty or flakey. But even though the romance feels rushed--the book is around 270 pages, so I guess some plot aspects have to be condensed--it's still sweet, and Eamon is equal parts charismatic and brash and thoughtful and patient as a love interest. I wasn't expecting so much insight into Carla's relationship with her dad, Biggie, who has dementia; it's both a heartbreaking and tender look at their relationship and how Carla grew up.

This book does instill a sense of adventure, but I appreciate how Trish Doller emphasizes the importance of prioritizing aspects of one's life too. (Although after reading it, if I could realistically drop everything and take a road trip through Ireland right now, I probably would...)
