Gigi, Listening

In this charming, witty new novel from Chantel Guertin, author of the PopSugar Beach Reads Selection and BookBub Best Book of June Instamom, an impulsive trip across the pond becomes a life-changing journey . . .

Book lovers come to Gigi Rutherford's bookstore in Ann Arbor, Michigan, when they're looking for romance novels. But beyond her shop's walls, Gigi's out of stock when it comes to potential love interests. That's all about to change, though, when Gigi's best friends surprise her with a trip to England for her 30th birthday.

And it's not just any trip: the 10-day bus tour through the most picturesque towns in England is led by her favorite audiobook narrator-on whom she's harboring a secret crush.

When Gigi misses the bus, she's offered a seat on a different tour, and the promise she can join the original tour when they cross paths later in the trip. In the meantime, she's stuck with a hodge-podge of travellers that includes the recently widowed Charlotte, the fact-obsessed Francis, and Jenny, an influencer documenting every detail for her social media followers. And then there's the disgruntled yet complicated bus driver, Taj . . .

Both laugh out loud funny and deeply emotional, Gigi, Listening will remind you that life's most memorable moments can be found in the most unexpected places, ever when it seems like everything has gone wrong.
