Blissfully in love, she’s about to graduate college, take on her dream job, and has never been more optimistic for the future.

Will Adler has been in love with Berkley Kaine since the moment he laid eyes on her.

But ever since they became a couple, Will and Berkley have had to contend with his influential, richer-than-rich socialite family who have never thought Berkley is good enough. Determined to drive the young lovers apart, Will’s family reveal the secret he’s yet to find a way to tell her – he’s signed on with his brother to be a part of a reality TV show called PDX Royals, as apparently, money is all it takes to be ‘royalty’ in America.

Can the couple survive the pressure of Will’s crazy family, his constant bad decisions, and a TV show they never expected to blow up the way it did?

Can first love ever become forever love?

Book Review – The Coach Trip By Izzy Bromley

In this heartwarming story of hope and second chances, Emma and Mel are about to discover that sometimes life is about the journey, not the destination…

Classic forgetful Emma—she’s done it again, this time accidentally ruining a Valentine’s Day surprise for her best friend Mel. Desperate to make up for it, she promises Mel a birthday trip to Edinburgh—a girls’ weekend to end all girls’ weekends. There’s just one massive hitch…

Emma has already promised her grandma that she’ll go on a coach trip with her to scatter her grandad’s ashes…In Edinburgh. On Mel’s birthday weekend. Oh God.

That’s right, with one innocent but inevitable diary clash, two very different road trips are thrust together. Surrounded by a bunch of septuagenarians who seem to have forgotten how to have fun, can Emma support Grandma through her grief and give Mel a birthday to remember? Or is their friendship doomed to become roadkill? She’s about to find out…

My Review

Emma commits to celebrating her best friend Mel’s birthday in a special way but accidentally overbooks herself, having also promised to accompany her grandmother on a coach trip. This trip was initially an anniversary gift for her grandfather, who tragically passed away before they could go. Despite initial reservations, both young women join the trip with biases about the elderly. As the week unfolds, their misconceptions are beautifully dispelled. Many find it difficult to empathize with the challenges the elderly face, such as the slow-paced woman or the man delaying the supermarket queue.

This tale beautifully bridges the gap between generations, challenging stereotypes about age. It’s a touching story of laughter, love, and learning, providing readers with a memorable and heartwarming experience.
