My review:

Destination: Fun Romance is the first book I have read by Amy Anguish. I don't know that it is technically a young adult novel, but it read like one to me.

Read if you like:

  • insta-connection (not quite love, but pretty close)
  • road trips
  • college-age characters
  • summer romance

I had a hard time relating to Katie and I really didn't like Skye. Not having a good connection with the characters, I didn't love the book. It was well-written, but I might need to shy away from young characters and the immaturity that they can sometimes bring.

★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads): 

It’s not every day you bring a boyfriend back as a souvenir.

Katie Wilhite is ready to settle into her new job as a librarian now that college is through, but friends Bree and Skye want one more girls’ trip, and when Bree insists this is her bachelorette fling, Katie agrees. What she didn’t agree to was allowing fun and flighty Skye to dictate the itinerary or for her anxiety to kick in harder than ever … right in front of a cute guy.

Camden Malone had no idea when he agreed to be the voice of reason on his cousin Ryan’s vacation that the trip wouldn’t stay in New Orleans as planned. But when Ryan plots with Skye so that the guys can tag along with the girls all week, he isn’t nearly as upset as he should be. Not with Katie’s fiery temper and flashing eyes intriguing him more by the minute.

Can Katie relax enough to trust Camden and a possible future, or will she continue to push him away as only a vacation fling? And can Camden move past a rocky history of his own to be able to jump into a better future? For a trip that was supposed to be all about fun, there’s a lot of romance going around.

  1. It is difficult to like the book when you don't like the characters. I'm always interested to hear about authors who write Christian Fiction for young adults - there aren't many.
