The Unhoneymooners meets The Hating Game in this witty, clever, and swoonworthy novel following a workaholic marketing manager who is forced to go on a cruise with her arch-nemesis when they’re up for the same promotion.

Between taking night classes for her MBA and her demanding day job at a cruise line, marketing manager Henley Evans barely has time for herself, let alone family, friends, or dating. But when she’s shortlisted for the promotion of her dreams, all her sacrifices finally seem worth it.

The only problem? Graeme Crawford-Collins, the remote social media manager and the bane of her existence, is also up for the position. Although they’ve never met in person, their epic email battles are the stuff of office legend.

Their boss tasks each of them with drafting a proposal on how to boost bookings in the Galápagos—best proposal wins the promotion. There’s just one catch: they have to go on a company

cruise to the Galápagos Islands...together. But when the two meet on the ship, Henley is shocked to discover that the real Graeme is nothing like she imagined. As they explore the Islands together, she soon finds the line between loathing and liking thinner than a postcard.

With her career dreams in her sights and a growing attraction to the competition, Henley begins questioning her life choices. Because what’s the point of working all the time if you never actually live?

Perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Sally Thorne, Shipped is a fresh and engaging rom-com that celebrates the power of second chances and the magic of new beginnings.

READ MY BOOK REVIEW

My Rating: 5 stars
Genre Romantic Comedy

So, I haven’t been in the mood to read lately which is a bunch of crap because I love reading so much. Even this book which I have enjoyed IMMENSELY hasn’t fully taken me out of my book slump. No matter though, I am here to give my review because I absolutely POSITIVELY fell in love with this book! Shipped is such a FUN read as it combines an enemies-to-lovers trope, tropical islands, and excursions that I want to go on RIGHT NOW, and a darling love story. Honestly, I recommend everyone going out and buying this book now! It’s a cure for the winter blues! Getting lost in this novel won’t be hard for anyone. You get relatable characters, a summertime theme, and the cutest dramatic moments around! When I say dramatic moments don’t worry, I don’t mean the angst! Just cute little fights and misunderstandings that will have us rolling our eyes and laughing at the same time. I love a cutesy book, and this is that exactly!

I’m going to keep my review short on here because I don’t have a ton to say right now (my reading slump seems to have turned into a review slump too) but I do want to recommend this book to everyone who needs a lighthearted and charming read. You can’t go wrong with it! I hope the author plans to write Walsh’s book next because I’d love to see what her love story looks like (and if she ever took the job) 😊
