➽ I was really intrigued by the premise, as it sounded like a lot of fun! The story follows Noelle, who's still grieving her grandmother and finds out she had a secret love affair before she got married. Her TikTok about it goes viral and in a sudden turn of events, the grandson of her secret lover ends up contacting her. Noelle wants to know the entire story firsthand and agrees to meet Paul ... only to find out that his grandson is her high school nemesis, Theo! Nevertheless, she's determined to cope with her grief by learning about the one story her grandmother never told her. Paul has a series of letters to share with her, including a honeymoon road trip they had planned before everything went wrong. Since Noelle is still grieving, unemployed and in a major life crisis, she ends up going on the road trip with Paul and Theo while documenting it on TikTok!

➽ There were many elements I loved in this Romance! It was heartwarming to see how Theo and his grandfather share such a close bond that reminds Noelle of her own grandmother. The grief is still there, but she loves connecting with Paul, who was also touched by her. Their dynamic was so sweet and one of my favorite parts of the story! I personally related to Noelle, as I know how tough being unemployed and having to go back to living with your parents can be. After being voted 'Most Likely to Succeed' in high school, Noelle is scared that she'll never be able to live up to her potential. She hated her last job (and was fired from it anyway) and after a bad experience, she has no hope of making it with her photography. Meanwhile, Theo is the CEO and founder of a popular travel app and seems to have surpassed her in every single way. I liked her complicated feelings about their past and how different adult life turned out for them.

➽ Unfortunately, I thought that the road trip aspect was underutilized. It was my favorite part of the book, but the romance quickly overtook the actual plotline. I wish the author had explored the diferent locations more and properly described the setting! It felt like the road trip - which should have been the focal point of the story - was relegated to the background to only focus on Noelle and Theo's relationship drama. We get told what they do, but the majority of the story is just Noelle and Theo talking to each other. It was such a missed opportunity that the author didn't utilise the road trip more to further the romance and actually make it relevant! I have to be honest: Noelle and Theo's romance was so disconnected it could have easily taken place back home, no road trip necessary. After a while, it also began to annoy me how they'd constantly be horny for each other while trying to keep it a secret from Paul! I loved the beginning of the story, but the further I read, the less I enjoyed the book!
