A solid, fun and cute second chance holiday romance. The characters were relatable and oh so meant to be. The plot was full of travel mishaps and unexpected romance. It just…wasn’t for me unfortunately. I wanted to give it a chance despite my usual avoidance of the “can’t get where they need to go” plot because it has great ratings and sounded so sweet. But after the third setback I think it just got a bit too predictable for me and my anxiety went through the roof. Despite my personal lack of enthusiasm I do recommend this book. I think my rating is 100% a personal thing and has nothing to do with the excellent writing and sapphic holiday romance :)… (more)

Plot:
Caitlin was supposed to be on a plane out of London and into a new life. But unfortunately, life had other plans, namely a lockdown because of Corona. Trapped in London with no place to stay anymore, she turns to the only person she can think of: her ex-girlfriend Dot. The girlfriend she just broke up with to start her new life. Dot is, understandably, not happy about the situation and about having Caitlin on her couch, but she gives in. And maybe, the global crisis will put the personal one into a new light?

Try Me Again is a cute quick read, almost more of a short story than a novella. While I do think it could have been fleshed out a little more, it is enjoyable.

What more can I say? Give me a romantic comedy, and I'll read it in a day. This was the perfect book for someone like me who likes British humour and two loving characters.

Abby is about to get married, and to avoid too much stress, her fiancé hires a professional bridesmaid called Jordan. They both immediately connect and hit it off. But their friendship rapidly turns into an attraction, which they both try to fight off.

Of course, this plot is nothing new, and you already know the "bride gets cold feet before the wedding" story. Here it reminded me of a variation of the film "Imagine You & Me", and I liked that one a lot, too. So it was no coincidence that I also loved this novel.

The book was straightforward to read, and you get into the story straight away. It's for anyone looking for a fun read with a happy ending.
