Publisher's summary

People We Meet on Vacation meets The Unhoneymooners in this sparkling debut romantic comedy about two near strangers—and complete opposites—who win a radio contest for a trip around the world.

Love's about to take flight.

Feeling stuck at work and tired of London’s dreary weather, magazine writer Dylan Coughlan impulsively rings a radio station one day only to win a once-in-a-lifetime trip around the world. The catch? Her travel partner must be a contact randomly selected on her phone. And of course this stressful game of contact roulette lands on a number listed only as Jack the Posho, an uptight, unbearably posh guy she met on a night out and accidentally ghosted.

The two couldn’t be more different, and as the trip kicks off, Jack seems like he’d sooner fling himself into the sun than have a conversation with Dylan. But more is hinging on this trip than the chance to see the world. For the past two years, Dylan’s been relegated to writing quizzes (and only quizzes) at her lifestyle magazine after an article about her past abortion went viral—and not in the good way. If she’s able to make a series about their trip successful, her overbearing boss will give her a chance at a permanent column. Dylan’s willing to do anything to make the series a hit, even if it means embellishing her and Jack’s relationship to satisfy readers. But as the column’s popularity grows, so does the bond between Dylan and Jack, and Dylan is forced to consider if the one thing she thought she always wanted is worth the price she'll have to pay to get there.

Wanderlust will hit that sweet spot for those who are craving something fun with some more profound moments and a slow-burn romance that will have you wanting until the very last page...[A] fun romp for those looking to travel within their book.” –Culturess

“Debut writer Everhart crafts complex characters with well-developed backgrounds and plenty of entertaining banter…Set against the backdrop of gorgeous international locales, this slow-burn rom-com will appeal to fans of travel and social media story lines as well as the forced proximity trope.” Library Journal (starred review)

“[A] sparkling debut…Everhart’s layered characters leap off the page, and the no-nonsense approach to both Dylan’s abortion and her sexuality is refreshing. Far-flung backdrops—including Marrakech, Reykjavik, and Tokyo—add to the fun. Everhart is a writer to watch.”Publishers Weekly

Had a trip of a lifetime through reading

I really enjoyed the book and found it showed me a bit of the world through descriptive words. I really enjoyed the narration also. It had a great storyline. I just wish the lead character hadn't sworn like a sailor. The F bombs were going off everywhere!
