Magazine writer Dylan wins an all expenses paid 6 week trip around the world from a local radio station. The only catch is that she will have to travel with someone the radio station randomly selects from her phone contacts. “Jack the Posho” is the lucky pick, and after initially forgetting who Jack is, Dylan remembers that he is an uptight, preppy guy that she met one night at a bar and accidentally ghosted. Dylan is able to leverage her time off for the trip into a chance at a permanent column at the magazine as she writes about her travels, and her editor urges her to push the second chance romance angle. Dylan is determined to make the trip and her time with Jack work so she can write some juicy stories to secure her dream, despite how unbearable she finds Jack. But as the two spend more time together—and find themselves while traveling—Dylan comes to realize that Jack isn’t all that bad, and she’ll have to decide if achieving what she really wanted is worth the price she has to pay to get it.

Thank you so much @netgalley, @putnambooks, and @elleeverhart for the advance copy! I read this while on vacation and it was the perfect summer travel read. I really enjoyed all of the different destinations that Jack and Dylan were able to travel to, and it made me super jealous that I didn’t win that trip! The banter between Dylan and Jack was fun and hilarious. The book also had a lot of really great and healthy discussions around women’s rights, fear of failure, respecting boundaries, consent, and sexuality. A great summer read for those who love travel, self-discovery, and romance! Wanderlust hits shelves on July 4!
