So wanted to like this one - I mean, the premise was captivating. But then I started reading, and it didn't click. The awkward names and nicknames in the heroine's family, plus a thirteen-year-old sister who I constantly expected to be five or six based on the way she is presented and referred to... Then there was the vomit on the wedding dress - I couldn't find this story much the character aspirational, which then didn't make me click with the story, unfortunately

I’m not sure how I feel about this one still. I liked it while I was reading it but I found it very forgettable. I did really like the characters and the story line.

I liked this book, there’s some parts where I felt a bit underwhelmed but, for the majority it was an easy read!

I unfortunately didn't have the time to get to reading it before it archived! Though I will pick it up in the future.
So please disregard the low rating as Netgalley forces me to put one down with my review.

The Lucky Escape was cute, fun and lighthearted. I would have loved this pace to be slightly faster and the plot and characters didn't stand out too much for me. But this is a great read that doesn't require my full attention making it a great vacation read.

A cute summer read, perfect for a day at the beach or by the pool! While I didn’t connect with the main character as much as I hoped, I was surprised at how funny some parts were. Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC!

I wasn’t sure I was going to like this, but was a great lighthearted book. Would be a perfect holiday read! Will be checking out this authors other books for sure.

This book was one that I was super excited to pick up because the premise sounded like it would be a ton of fun. I was a little surprised with how disappointed I was with the read after finishing it. I overall enjoyed the book as a whole but found myself getting annoyed with Annie multiple times and that hindered my enjoyment a bit. Additionally, I hated how little of the honeymoon we got to read about when that was the part that I was most excited to read.

The structure of the book was something that I wish were different, but from what I got I was pleased with the read and still flew through it.

I received this book complimentary from NetGalley but all opinions are my own.

This was very cute and sweet. I really enjoyed the setting and the characters. The story was rich and the characters thought-out and detailed. I would read another by this author.

God, I felt so sorry for Annie! I was immediately drawn into the story and sympathised with her, wanting her to have a stroke of good luck after being jilted, and Williams' writing told her tale in such a realistic way.

Full of humour and heart, an entertaining and fast-paced read that i absolutely recommend!! Especially if you're looking for a summery rom-com

I enjoyed this title because it was an easy and light read but didn't really connect with the characters and the story as much as I'd have liked to...

Classic feel good book. Great premise. Reslly enjoyed it. I love a wedding honeymoon without husband but new guy/enemies to lovers trope.

I absolutely loved this book, it was such a beautiful easy to read story that just captures your attention and makes you smile.

Thank NetGalley for the preview!

I really liked this book but also felt like it was a little wishy washy. Annie often says things that contradict each other. She also was very frustrating with her romantic decisions at times. After the honeymoon part the book got muddy. I loved the Australia bits and the romance was good!

The Lucky Escape was fairly predictable, but really delightful, fun, and sweet. If you like Laura Jane Williams, or similar authors, you will probably like this. I found it a good, doing the school run listen.

Reviewed for audio already: Overall I enjoyed this book. It was a little slow going, however, a cute romantic story. The whole jilting at the alter part wasn’t the best part and her mum was super annoying! It did set the scene though and the following storyline of a rekindled flame and finding love when you least expect it was read and written well.

Laura Jane Williams doing what she does best. Witty and heartwarming this is the story of Annie who is jilted on her wedding day. Her incredible not to be in laws insist she take the honeymoon still and a chance encounter at the gym sees her agreeing to take old friend Patrick with her.

Predictable in the best way this is a fabulous summer read.

An easy, breezy beach read. A modern romance novel, with a given predictability, self-discovery, and personal growth - like most in this genre. This was an easy read including a slow burn romance that left me feeling good. I have never read anything from this author and I was pleasantly surprised. I will definitely look for more of her works until he future.

The Lucky Escape is a fun read. I loved the forced proximity, the whirlwind of taking what should have been your honeymoon with a friend from the past and trying to navigate all the new feelings. The tension was great, the meet-cute was the right amount of entertaining and awkward. It's funny and fluffy, with a little bit of drama, it's a great, quick-ish read.
