Book Review: Work in Progress by Kat Mackenzie

Synopsis

Alice loves a good list. But careful planning didn’t stop her from losing her job and her fiancé in one fell swoop. With her 30th birthday looming on the horizon, Alice makes the first impulsive decision of her life: booking a flight to the UK for a three-week, all-female, literary bus tour. What could go wrong?

Apparently, just about everything.

Alice arrives to discover that this tour isn’t what she expected. Instead of cool thirtysomethings, she finds a rickety, antique bus full of octogenarians. And to make matters worse, the tour guide makes her blood boil! And that devilish grin of his tells her he’s set on making her trip a misery.

But as they travel from castle ruins to cozy pubs, Alice may just find that she’s got it all wrong. The ladies are vivacious. The book club chat is on fire. And damn if that smile doesn’t threaten to turn her world upside down!

Thoughts

What!? A debut novel? Take all my stars, Kat Mackenzie! I absolutely loved this romcom. I did not want it to end and need more Alice and Robbie in my life. Could this possibly be a series? I would read it.

There are countless things that I loved about this book. First, I enjoyed Alice right from the start. She is awkward, hilarious, adventurous, sweet, and so relatable. The chemistry and slow burn romance between Alice and Robbie were perfect. I adored traveling through Europe with Alice and the gals. I am giving bonus points to the author for incorporating tons of amusing British slang. I found the personal growth and HEA lovely.

Pick this book up if you love sweet romance, romcoms, or need a quick fix for your wanderlust.
