She’s meant to be catching flights, not catching feelings....

Molly and Andrew are just trying to get home to Ireland for the holidays when a freak snowstorm grounds their flight.

Nothing romantic has ever happened between them: They’re friends, and that’s all. But once a year, for the last ten years, Molly has spent seven hours and fifteen minutes sitting next to Andrew on the last flight before Christmas from Chicago to Dublin, drinking terrible airplane wine and catching up on each other’s lives. In spite of all the ways the two friends are different, it’s the holiday tradition neither of them has ever wanted to give up.

Molly isn’t that bothered by Christmas, but—in yet another way they’re total opposites—Andrew is a full-on fanatic for the festive season, and she knows how much getting back to Ireland means to him. So, instead of doing the sane thing and just celebrating the holidays together in America, she does the stupid thing. The irrational thing. She vows to get him home. And in time for his mam’s famous Christmas dinner.

The clock is ticking. But Molly always has a plan. And—as long as the highly specific combination of taxis, planes, boats, and trains all run on time—it can’t possibly go wrong.

What she doesn’t know is that, as the snow falls over the city and over the heads of two friends who are sure they’re not meant to be together, the universe might just have a plan of its own....

A totally gorgeous and escapist friends-to-lovers festive romance with a swoon-worthy hero. Perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Mhairi Macfarlane, and Christina Lauren.

I enjoyed the story, yet I found the flashbacks frustrating as they just slowed down the story. The narration was good but I would have enjoyed having both main characters voices.

A great story yet with flashbacks

This had a lot of potential- I thought it was going to be an Irish version of You and Me on Vacation by Emily Henry. It was let down by being just far too long, at least four hours too long, and there wasn’t as much tension between the back and forth timelines as the set-up promised. Narrator was excellent though.

Long holiday

Could NOT stop listening, not only was it a gorgeous story of friendship, family & love, it was bloody funny! I laughed inappropriately in public a few too many times! The most loveable characters I’ve read in a long time, but also very believable!

Absolutely loved it!

The whole way through this book I just felt anxious as if I was stuck in transit with the main characters. There were some bright spots, an escapade in London for example, but it really just felt like a chore getting through this book. I won’t be buying Catherine Walsh’s other books.

Irritating like being stuck in an airport

A slow love story, told in modern day with poignant flashbacks. The pace is definitely more sedate than others by this author, but it helps show just how this relationship has grown slowly over time. I can imagine this being made into a Christmas movie, and I hope it is!
