Why I picked itI wanted a light-hearted and semi-short audiobook to listen to. A lot of times, I look through the available audiobooks on Libby/Bridges until I find something that tickles my fancy. This one was actually on my Goodreads Want to Read shelf, so I searched for it and it happened to be available! summaryHadley is not ready to go to London for her dad's second wedding. So when she misses her flight by minutes, she's frustrated and knows that her dad will assume it's because of her unwillingness to come (though that doesn't really play a part in her lateness). Luckily at the airport, she gets stuck with a perfect British boy, Oliver, and they hit it off right away. He helps her distract herself from her anxiety on the plane and just talks to her about his (fictional) research projects and different random parts of his life. Getting off the plane, Hadley is sad that she will likely never see Oliver again, but the go their own ways to their own events and say goodbye. When she finally makes it to the wedding, she learns that the new stepmom isn't quite as bad as she thought. But that doesn't mend her relationship with her dad. After some conflict, she starts learning that she can still be a part of her dad's life, even if he is moving onto another chapter of his own life. what i likedHadley and Oliver have a sweet and also fun relationship right from the beginning. Oliver is a goof and never really gives Hadley any straight answers, but she gives him plenty of crap and sarcasm back, so they work perfectly together. Obviously, by the name of the book, you can tell that some romance will happen, and it's so cute to watch that develop throughout the book. I also like the difficulties that Hadley is going through with the adjustment to her parents' divorce and her dad's impending second marriage. She's confused and sad and upset, and she's trying to work through that throughout this book. what I didn't likeThough a lot happened in the (approximately) 24ish hours that this book happens in, it still is a lot of the same things that are happening, just in different ways. It was also a pretty typical YA romance. I used to love stories like this, but I think I'm getting either too mature for them or getting a little more picky about the ones I read. Overall Impression 🌟🌟🌟Like I said above, I think I'm getting a little more picky with my YA romance novels, so I liked it, but it definitely didn't wow me, and it wasn't my favorite. If you like YA romance, you'll probably enjoy this book!
