The Long Haul: Don’t miss this BRAND-NEW hilarious time-loop romcom, perfect for fans of Tessa Bailey and Sophie Kinsella

by Hannah Doyle

They’re the last two guys she ever thought she’d be stuck with. On repeat.When Nina Moss’s once-in-a-lifetime work trip to Australia is rudely interrupted by her oh-so-perfect coworker and arch-nemesis, Callum Bang, she’s furious. But then she sees him. Hamish. Her one that got away, boarding the very same flight.

Stuck with them both for a whole day of travel, Nina devises a masterplan to get away from Callum and back into Hamish’s heart, or at least the seat next to him. But the universe has other ideas.

When Nina wakes up to her blaring alarm, packed suitcase, and carefully laid out airport outfit, she can hardly believe her eyes. It’s Monday. Travel day. All over again.

The only thing worse than being caught on a long-haul flight with your enemy and your ex?

Being trapped in an infinite time loop with them.

I love time loop stories so I'll admit a personal bias for them upfront - I just find them SO satisfying. I'll be honest though, it was only the promise of the time loop romance that kept me going at the start of the book when I was finding Nina quite annoying. But after the time loop kicked in at the 25% mark, I found myself enjoying it more and more with each loop. I found myself laughing out loud at some of the things that Nina got up to, and I ended up really enjoying the character development.

Disclaimer: I received an Advance Reader Copy from NetGalley but this is my voluntary and honest review.

I’ll be honest, at the start of this book I wasn’t convinced. I found the main character pretty annoying at first and had that familiar “do I keep going or quietly DNF?” moment. But this is absolutely one of those books where holding on is so worth it. The story just gets better and better, and before I knew it, I was completely hooked.

The whole premise is genuinely brilliant and so well executed that I ended up reading the entire book in one day. Once it finds its stride, it’s impossible to put down. I won’t give anything away, but the payoff is there, and the ending left me really satisfied. I’m so glad I didn’t give up early on, this book surprised me in the best way.

Thank you Netgalley for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks Netgalley for the ARC copy. This was super fun and light, which made it a very quick read. I don't always enjoy a time loop but this one had a bit of variety and had some really fun moments - particularly when Nina realised she wasn't the only person reliving the same day on repeat.

I wish we could have had a little more info given on the time loop and why it happened, but I appreciate that wasn't really the purpose of the story. Nina was a little annoying sometimes (and her initial blindness to Hamish's awful personality was hard to empathise with), but she seemed to relax as it went on and became more relatable by the end (Callum did help to soften her).

Really disappointed with this one as have enjoyed this authors previous books.

The first 25% really, really, REALLY dragged and I wanted to give up as it was just so dull.

I stuck with it and although Nina became less irritating and the pace picked up, I wasn’t as invested in this one as much as I should have been and was more than happy when I reached the end.

Thanks to netgalley for the arc.
