The Road Trip

If you've got a few hours to spare, you can give it a go. It's got some decent story, sort of likeable characters, and a little bit annoying choices with a pinch of rom-com clichés. If that's your type of series, then I would definitely recommend watching it. The humor is lighthearted, and while some of the twists feel predictable, there's enough charm to keep you engaged. The chemistry between the leads is enjoyable, even if it occasionally feels forced. Overall, it's a fun, easy watch that doesn't take itself too seriously and leaves you feeling entertained. Perfect for a lazy weekend binge!

The perfect comforting watch balancing the fun of rom com traditions as well as offering a depth to the characters in its exploration of trust and boundaries in relationships as well as the intricacies of friendships and communication.

I thought the acting was class, genuine and heartfelt where each character was hatable, likeable, lovable and hilarious ! And it helps that they were dependably aided with a witty yet equally thoughtful script. It had everything that one would hope for from a Rom com, light and heartwarming and the right about of cheese. Definitely recommend this one to put a smile on your face! I'm left wondering what these characters are doing next ...!

Definitlely recommend watching this show - especially if the rom com genre is the one for you. It feels like a bit of a throwback to the classic rom com era. Overally the show is a really characterful series which you can binge very easily. Emma Appleton is fantastic as the female lead and the supporting characters are very good, there are also some great cameos throughout. The episodes are funny and there's some great humour sprinkled keep you entertained and engaged. The series itself is really nicely shot and there are some unexpected but really great twists as you go through. Highly recommend!

I watched this because I love Beth O'Leary books and was so disappointed!

They changed so much of the story line that it wasn't basically a different story altogether.

The differences are listed for those curious

* The book was based around a road trip to a wedding in Scotland The programme was based around a road trip to Spain

* Addies relationship with her sister was much strong in the book. Her sister had a son from a one night stand and Addie was a huge part of nephews life In the programme addies sister was in a lesbian relationship and they had actively planned for their daughter Rosie. Deb's girlfriend was quiet toxic IMO and was Almost trying to drive a wedge between addie and her Sister.

*in the book and the Programme addie and dylan Met in very different ways. Although still whilst she was working in a villa abroad there was much more depth to their relationship and how The relationship grew.

The only thing that stayed the same was the crazy wedding crashes Rodney!! He was the most basic part of the book but the best part of the programme because everything else just missed the mark!

I do wonder how much input Beth had on this and if she did sign off on this I'm really disappointed because she's a fantastic writer and her Other programme "the flat share" was brilliant and was done perfectly,

By all means watch this and enjoy It as it is quite good. But it's just not like book if that's what you're wanting.

I am IN LOVE with each and every character. Fantastic chemistry. I was pulling for a happy ending in ALL the relationships. Dylan's love was just so palpable. Laurie Davidson is my absolute new favourite. What else is he in? I want to see more of him. Every actor brought their best to this. I hope it's a 10/10 as more people watch.

It's always important to feel like every actor is invested in a story and you really feel it here. Eddie and Bev were so believable as sisters. Dylan and Marcus were beautiful as 'brothers'. There's a lot of heart in this. It left me wanting a sequel. Very well done.
