Book Synopsis:
Dylan Coughlan has just won a trip around the world. The catch? Her travel partner is a random contact from her phone.
And it’s Jack ‘the Posho’, the man she accidentally ghosted. The two couldn’t be more different, and as the trip kicks off, Jack seems like he’d sooner fling himself into the sun than have a conversation with Dylan which does not bode well for her travel blog. She has to create a hit column documenting her travels…and her love life.
Dylan’s willing to do anything, even if it means embellishing her budding relationship. But as the column’s popularity grows, so does the bond between Dylan and Jack. There’s no denying the fire burning between them.
Will Dylan finally let her heart take flight or will she and Jack come down to Earth with a bump?

My Review:
Wanderlust is a fun, hilarious book that is perfect for escaping into this summer.
Firstly I loved traveling the world with the two main characters and living precariously through them as they explore all the fabulous sounding places they visit. The author’s descriptions are very vivid and I often felt like I was actually there experiencing everything alongside the characters. I spent far to much time googling the places mentioned in the book and have added lots of new travel destinations to my wishlist.
I have to admit I didn’t like Dylan or Jack at the beginning of the book but they grew on me as I got to know them better and they stopped being so prickly with each other. Both have a lot of baggage that they have to work through and I enjoyed watching the two of them as they helped each other. It was lovely to watch the two grow closer and I was sad to leave the two of them behind when the book ended.
The book has a great pace to it and there always seemed to be something happening or a new exciting place to explore that made the book hard to put down. I liked that the book wasn’t just about the travel destinations and that the reader got a chance to get to know the characters backstories too as it made them feel more real. My only slight niggle was that I wish the story had alternated between Jack and Dylan as I would have loved to have seen things from Jack’s point of view too. I’m hoping this is might be something for a future book though as I’d love there to be a sequel!
Huge thanks to Tandem Collective for inviting me onto the read-along and to the publisher for my copy of this book.
