Excellent rom-com fluff, especially for Outlander fans. It’s just the right blend of serious and silly and “Oh, Emma, no….” It’s one of the few books I’ve seen that doesn’t make fun of fans, and manages to be a love letter to the Outlander novels and to Scotland while not being heavy-handed about it or overshadowing Emma’s journey. I did find her a bit overly shallow at the start (like her Jamie must have red hair), and perhaps a bit naive as well, but hey, I’ve run into show more those tropes in romance and travel novels, respectively, before. Whatever. Dyer set out to entertain and she certainly succeeded. I was rooting for Emma almost before I knew it.

Dropping the Venal turnaround for a Teresa outright purchase
and a lot of predictable scenarios,
Eighty Days delivered a fun new premise to Jules Verne re-creations.

Rescue of brave force Sumaya was a highlight...not sure why Dominic is not waiting for someone so "fantastic."

Fun to see Dominic and Romy grow along with their adventures!

Inspired purchase of Thomas King's INCONVENIENT INDIAN.

Emma is a bit of at ends. She just turned 29 and her life is pretty much falling apart. Since she loves the Outlander book series, and is in love with the fictional character of Jamie (and which of us hasn't been in her shoes with some book or another?), she decides to sell all of her things and go to Scotland to find him, writing a blog along the way.

I just finished this one and couldn't put it down, really and truly! I love happy endings, and I love twists and turns and kind of thinking show more something was going to happen, but not being sure about it. It's nice and comfy without being boring or entirely predictable. If you've read Outlander, you won't be disappointed with this one. I'm not sure what else to say. It's like chick lit, but with a bit more meat on it - but not heavy or tiring at all; I raced through it! There was humor and the characters were very real (the villain Sunshine aside). And look, it's so good, it got its own exclamation marks! Super cute! show less

This book has been out for a while now, but I just refused to buy it because, how good can it be?! I mean, I am one of millions of OUTLANDER fans out there that thinks no one can come close to writing as good as Herself, right?!

Imagine my surprise when I opened my Christmas gift from my husband. My first thought was, as I looked at it and then my hubby, OMG! He’s paying attention when I ramble on and on about OUTLANDER! My second was, SHIT! Now I have to read it, or I’ll hurt his show more feelings.

Well, I read it and WTH! I just loved it. It was interesting, engaging, funny, sweet and surprisingly very well written.

I enjoyed the heroine’s POV and loved the way author took me on a journey which I’ll never undergo. She made me feel like I was there!

If you’re like me and are having doubts about this book, please succumb and buy it. You’ll be so glad you did.
