From the New York Times bestselling author of This Time Next Year comes a heartwarming and hilarious tale that asks: What if you picked up the wrong suitcase and fell head over heels for its mystery owner? Hopeless romantic and lifestyle reporter Laura’s business trip to the Channel Islands isn’t off to a great start. After an embarrassing encounter with the most attractive man she’s ever seen in real life, she arrives at her hotel and realizes she’s grabbed the wrong suitcase from the airport. Her only consolation is its irresistible contents, each of which intrigues her more and more. The owner of this suitcase is clearly Laura’s dream man. Now, all she has to do is find him. Besides, what are the odds that she’d find The One on the same island where her parents first met and fell in love, especially as she sets out to write an article about their romance? Commissioning surly cab driver Ted to ferry her around seems like her best bet in both tracking down the mystery suitcase owner and retracing her parents’ footsteps. But as Laura’s mystery man proves difficult to find—and as she uncovers family secrets—she may have to reimagine the life, and love, she always thought she wanted.

I highly recommend this cute romance. The love triangle was cuter than I expected. The deeper story was a good spin compared to other romance books.
This was so cute!! An actual rom com with heart. I think everything is being marketed at that now but this one actually fits the bill. I really enjoy it
i wouldn't categorize this as romance, it's way too heavy. definitely more women's fiction.
It took me a while to get into this one. Not having the male leads actually be there until a good chunk of the book has gone by is probably why. I loved Ted. I love complex male counterparts. Laura was annoying for the first part of the book, but she grew on me too. I also loved every side character. I think the author did a really good job of depicting Jasper. Even though he was literally perfect, he gave off a little bit of an ick that made Ted the clear choice. Him ending up with Suki was perfect. I also liked the clever way the author wrote the sex scene by comparing to movie sex scene shots of just the hand in the sheets or kissing the neck to make it not remotely spicy, but get the point across without a frustrating fade to black. It was a good read overall.
