Review: Eight Perfect Hours

Eight Perfect Hours by Lia Louis
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I read and listened to Eight Perfect Hours on audiobook. I enjoyed it but do not believe that I will dwell on it for long. It is a fun, nicely paced rom-com that begins when Noelle, a young English woman who is working and caring for her Mum, gets caught in an unexpected snow storm. She tries to get home to take care of her mum and she is stuck on the roadway without any remaining charge in her mobile phone. Next to her is an American man who taps on her window and offers to let her charge her phone in his car. She initially says no and then decides that there isn’t really a big risk and she desperately needs the phone changed in order to call home, so she gets in his car. They spend the entire night together in the vehicle. As they get ready to head out, she is hoping that he will ask for her number and he does not. She is disappointed but lets it go. Then, she randomly runs into him again, and again, and again. She becomes convinced that it is destiny.
At first, I was worried that it was going to be straight instalove but it is more complicated than that, in a good way. It is a sweet story about relationships, both love interests, family, exes, and friends. Fun, palate cleanser!
For anyone who is debating audio or physical copy, the audiobook is read by a terrific narrator who really draws you into the story.
Recommend!
