The Coach Trip
In this heartwarming story of hope and second chances, Emma and Mel are about to discover that sometimes life is about the journey, not the destination…
Classic forgetful Emma—she’s done it again, this time accidentally ruining a Valentine’s Day surprise for her best friend Mel. Desperate to make up for it, she promises Mel a birthday trip to Edinburgh—a girls’ weekend to end all girls’ weekends. There’s just one massive hitch…
Emma has already promised her grandma that she’ll go on a coach trip with her to scatter her grandad’s ashes…In Edinburgh. On Mel’s birthday weekend. Oh God.
That’s right, with one innocent but inevitable diary clash, two very different road trips are thrust together. Surrounded by a bunch of septuagenarians who seem to have forgotten how to have fun, can Emma support Grandma through her grief and give Mel a birthday to remember? Or is their friendship doomed to become roadkill? She’s about to find out…

I loved this funny, sweet and laugh out loud book. The story is centered around a coach trip full of pensioners and two friends at a much younger age deciding to join them. Are coach trips really like this? Maybe, but, i am too young for them for now. A very fun read. My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this read about a couple of younger women who end up on a coach trip, typically for the more mature holidaymaker.
Emma wants to give her best friend, Mel, a birthday to remember, but double books herself when she promises to go with her grandmother on a coach trip, originally booked as an anniversary present for her husband. Sadly, Grandad passed away before the trip, but Emma wants to make her grandma happy.
Emma and Mel end up on this coach trip with many preconceived ideas about older people, and it is a pleasure to see how these misconceptions are sh=mashed as the week-long trip progresses.
Getting old isn't fun in many ways. It is often hard for the younger generation to sympathise with that old lady who takes so long to walk or the man who is holding up the supermarket checkout line...
This is a book that makes you rethink your ideas, and it definitely reinforced my already strong respect for the elderly.
And... Mel did have a great birthday too!
Many thanks to NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing for an ARC.

Absolutely loved this book so much, I’ve been on many coach trips myself abc I love the series coach trip and it was like a combination of the two, all my best memories, full of fun and humour, so many mad unbelievable things occur on coach trips it’s why I love them and this book just encapsulates everything I love. I’ve been on trips where me and my mate were the only young ones and trust me those ladies had more life and energy than either of us, it was one of the loveliest and funniest memories of my life and this book just brought back so many memories. Absolutely fantastic read

My favourite part about this entire book was the "He did Business at Keele" line, I literally screamed out "I went to Keele!" Which if you knew how small Keele is, the fact a book mentions it is pretty astounding.
Okay and maybe the debate about how to make tea was on point and hilarious. (Tea, water, then milk)
Anyway.
This book was halting? Jerky? Awkward? The writing style comes off as having been written by a first time writer on their second draft, which isn't the case for Izzy, she has written many books under a pseudonym. " I checked the clock on the screen 35.16. We had just over half an hour" sooo repetitive. So many paragraphs about how Keith maybe isn't as much of a jerk as they think but then they don't really give him another chance for a hundred more pages even though Emma keeps thinking she needs to.
But honestly, Emma and Mel were awful. So entitled and bratty through most of this book. Mel especially was a complete bitch until they reached the last stop on the trip. The fact that Emma kept saying "I want to be more like Mel" was upsetting. And finally Emma goes on this trip to spend time with her grandmother and she barely spends time with her at all. Her grandma is the least involved character in the novel.
The overall moral of the story? Gasp! Old people are people who have lived lives?? I am shook who could have known it!
I will say though the different stops along the way were a lot of fun as I have taken several trips to many of these places. The Holy Island is top of my list next time I make it across the pond and I would love to go back to Durham.
Oh! I forgot....you want me to believe that 2 girls in their 20s don't know that numbers on phones are also correlated with letters? Did they not text at all before smart phones and blackberries?
Overall was it a cute story? Yes.
Was I pulled out of the enjoyment because the main character was a bint? Yes.

The Coach Trip by Izzy Bromley which follows Emma and Mel as they set off on a girls trip to Edinburgh. There’s just one catch though, Emma’s had already promised to join her grandmother on a coach trip to Edinburgh the same weekend. I really enjoyed this book. I found it to be full of warmth and humour and as I knew most of the cities visited on the trip I felt I was almost a part of it. Great characters and a plot that gathered momentum as it went. Thank you to NetGalley, Amazon Publishing UK and the author for the chance to review.

Well, a quick read, written in the first person with a narrator who was a little annoying, (but not as annoying as her best friend) but who seemed to become more sure of herself as the story progressed. As I expected full of ageist stereotypes throughout but of course through the experiences on the coach trip the ‘in group’ (Mel and Emma in their late twenties!) and the ‘out group’ (the older people passengers) learnt to understand, and even like each other. A little predictable but some emotional moments, for example when one passenger revealed his dementia diagnosis. A small point but needs some editing to correct the referral to hyperthermia when a passenger is nearly left behind without accommodation - surely this should be hypothermia?
I’m afraid that as an older reader, I couldn’t get passed the ageism and the negative portrayal of the older passengers even though this was moderated a little towards the end of the story.
My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read an e-version of the book.

I never usually write a review but I thought I had to with this one.
My goodness, the characters are just awful. So many old, antiquated and downright rude stereotypes about young people and the older generation.
The main character Emma is meant to be going on this coach trip to support her grandma but this is barely mentioned. She is so selfish and constantly thinking about herself and her friend, it's very grating. There are lots of things she finds out on the trip about her grandma and her late grandfather and I constantly thought, wow she really didn't know her grandparents at all! It didn't feel like a real and loving relationship between granddaughter and grandparents.
I stopped reading this book quite early on because I didn't like the characters but I came back to it because I didn't find anything better to read.
The story is basic, I really didn't like any of the characters. Emma's friend Mel is even worse. There are some very farfetched storylines. It was just awful. I would avoid reading it.

Spoilers....
I thought I would like this based on many of the reviews, but just couldn't find much to like. So predictable and really ageist -- from dementia, to the poor old guy that gets taken in by a con woman, the couple whose son (predictably) took all their money, the grandmother who meets an old flame and then starts to see him socially. Emma and Mel were really annoying at best. The best part of the book was the description of many of the sites on the coach journey, but those were few and far between.

Lookimg for a summer light read and was very disappointed with this book. As an active 78 year old could not connect to any of the characters. Certainly not a laugh out loud as some have commented. Definitely could not relate to main character who treated her Gran more as if she was a centenarian. Very weak book

drivel
Embarrassingly bad, good job it was free. Very lowest common denominator, bad research on road regulations which irritated the pedant in me.

3.5 rounded up.........This is a sweet story that centers around a coach (bus) trip through England to Edinburgh, with a group of senior citizens and two girls in their 20's trying to have a single girls vacay. The ensuing shenanigans are laugh out loud funny and kept me entertained throughout my long car ride. There are surprising moments of depth and insightfulness and I may have shed a tear or two. The story brought back wonderful memories of my coach trip with my daughter to Edinburgh years ago and a lot of the emotions and friendships formed are very real and genuine. It's funny how a group of strangers can become so close in a weeks time while traveling by bus!! I highly recommend this heartwarming and precious story......especially on audible.
Life is about the journey, not the destination.........

This taught be some damn good lessons
In fact, an elderly lady with a walker dropped an item at the supermarket today, and I bounced around and picked it up for her.
She thanked me and told me I was a good girl. (I’m nearly 38)
The way I felt hearing that today is so much different than I’d have felt last week.
So a big thank you to this author.

This had the potential to be the perfect beach/fireside read. (Despite the loathsome present-tense narrative.) But it failed miserably. It didn't take long for me to be hugely irritated by the constant reference to 'the old people'.
The narrator, Emma, and her flatmate/best friend, Mel, find themselves accompanying Emma's grandmother on a coach trip. They find themselves to be the youngest (at a decently adult 28), and therefore, everyone else is ancient. They're immature, childish and disrespectful. I began to wonder how they even managed to get dressed in the mornings without a manual. The assumption was that anyone a day into 70 was a fuddy-duddy, complaining, grumpy old fart who just goes on coach trips. This then turned into an ageist, anti-old-people rant.
I think the following summed up the unlikeability of the main character, and I quote: "She’s around his age and looks like a thousand other old people, sort of grey and plumpish." Seriously? I mean, seriously???
To the author: where's your respect, fictional or otherwise.

A sweet story about different generations and preconceptions about how a different age group thinks and does what they do. The main character promises a trip away for her birthday with her friend/flatmate after forgetting to give her a valentines card from her boyfriend.
She also offers to accompany her granma on a coachtrip when her grandfather passed away. Unfortnately both events are in the same week. Then both girls go on the coach holiday , firstly feeling that it is not for them as they are the youngest by at least 40 years. However the coach trip is both eventful and educational. Sometimes funny, sometimes thought provoking and sometimes tragic. As they get to know each other, there is more understanding and friendships develop.
A lovely heartwarming read . Thanks to Net Galley for tge ARC in exchange for an honest review

Sweet story. Similar to The White Lotus but without any of the sex, drugs or murder.
|Synopsis|
Emma brings along her best friend Mel to support her Grandmother on a trip to Edinburgh. Unprepared for a weeklong trip with a group of septuagenarian, maybe this different perspective on life is just what they needed.
|Thoughts|
This was an enjoyable enough read with a definite mix of characters. Liked the setting as they made their way through York and up to Scotland.
As Emma & Mel get to know that other bus goers on their trip, there are some sweet moments. And it does have a nice message about enjoying life and being more empathetic.
Still a few unanswered questions for me that just makes it one I wouldn’t recommend in a hurry.
This is not a romance book and has zero spice.
🎧 listened to the audiobook (wasn’t a fan of the narration)

3.5 stars rounded down. Old people make me cry... And I did well up while reading this one. A diverse cast of characters (mostly over 70) take a coach trip up through the UK. Prejudices run riot but friendships form as time goes by. Quite cute.

IZZY BROMLEY – THE COACH TRIP *****
I read this novel in advance of publication through NetGalley in return for an honest review.
Izzy Bromley is a wolf disguised as a sheep. A million-selling author branching out in a new direction. And you can tell. This novel is no meek debutante; it is a tour de force of plot, character and pace.
Two young friends (reasonably tolerant but hapless Emma - who has just lost her grandfather - and best friend and flat mate Mel, whose intolerance for the elderly she polishes like a badge) end up on a coach trip of oldies to Edinburgh to celebrate her birthday. Many of whom are as intolerant of the young as the young are of them. Bring into this mix Robin, the young and single tour operator, and stir, and you have a recipe for success. Not to mention great fun.
Just as in a love story, you expect the lovers will get together by the end, right from the get-go you are confident that by the end of the trip the intolerance on each side will result in a smart about turn. But not before you meet a whole coachload of funny and interesting characters, plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, lots of twists and turns, and even a moment of sadness, not to mention a set piece which will have you cheering two of the characters on: in a nutshell this author is the most capable of drivers. And to link back to my analogy about wolves, this novel should be a howling success.
Looking forward to the next one, due 2014.

"The Coach Trip" by Izzy Bromley is a delightful and heartwarming novel that takes readers on an unforgettable journey filled with laughter, love, and self-discovery. From the first page to the last, this book captivates readers with its charming characters, picturesque settings, and a touching exploration of human relationships.
Set against the backdrop of a scenic coach trip through the idyllic countryside, the story revolves around a diverse group of individuals, each carrying their own baggage, both emotional and literal. Our protagonist, Emily, finds herself reluctantly embarking on this adventure after a series of unexpected events disrupt her routine life. Little does she know that this trip will become a transformative experience, offering her a chance to heal old wounds and make new connections.
Bromley's character development is simply superb. Each person on the coach has a distinct personality, and their interactions are authentic and deeply human. Emily's personal growth is especially remarkable as she gradually opens up to her fellow travelers, forming unexpected friendships and finding solace in shared experiences. The author skillfully weaves together the characters' backstories, revealing their vulnerabilities and strengths, making them feel like real people whom we come to genuinely care about.
The picturesque descriptions of the English countryside and the various stops along the way evoke a sense of wanderlust, immersing readers in the charm of the journey. The vivid imagery painted by Bromley allows us to visualize the breathtaking landscapes and feel the excitement of the group as they explore quaint towns and hidden gems.
At its core, "The Coach Trip" is a story about the power of human connection. As the coach winds its way through the countryside, the characters form deep bonds and confront their pasts, fears, and aspirations. Themes of love, forgiveness, and acceptance are beautifully intertwined throughout the narrative, leaving readers with a warm and fuzzy feeling long after the final page.
Izzy Bromley's writing style is engaging and infused with a healthy dose of humor. The book strikes a perfect balance between lighthearted moments and poignant reflections, ensuring that readers will be both entertained and moved by the unfolding story.
If there is any minor criticism to be offered, it would be that the plot occasionally becomes predictable, but this hardly detracts from the overall enjoyment of the book. The characters' captivating journeys and the emotional depth of the story more than make up for any predictability.
In conclusion, "The Coach Trip" by Izzy Bromley is a charming and heartwarming novel that reminds us of the transformative power of journeys and the beauty of human connections. It will undoubtedly leave readers feeling uplifted and inspired to cherish the moments of love and laughter in their own lives. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a touching and enriching read.
