This book was so much fun to read! A bit predictable, but perfect for a summer beach read. The main character is adorable, and all Outlander fans who have fallen in love with Jamie Fraser will lover her, too.

*I was provided a copy of the book by the publisher and NetGalley for review; all opinions are my own*

Eighty Days to Elsewhere is the ultimate road trip book and a fun, fast read that combines two of my favorite things – books and travel.

The comps for this novel were Around the World in Eighty Days meets “Amazing Race”. If you’re familiar with this reality show, you know the pace the travelers are on, and how little time is spent in each location, so that should set expectations about her travel experience. This is no slow stroll through Paris! (Her Paris adventure was anything but what she had planned…) I love the idea, too, of a literary trip that follows the path of Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days, and to attempt it in a short amount of time is the perfect setup for chaos.

Add the fast pace to Romy’s complete lack of travel experience and the sheltered life she’s led, and you’ve got the perfect set-up for some hilarious and/or unfortunate disasters. She’s awkward, she’s definitely not very worldly, and she undergoes a lot of personal growth in the book. There are a few details that come out late in the book which might have actually explained a lot about both Romy and Dominic (no spoilers).

I think Eighty Days to Elsewhere is perfect for literary lovers who are currently experiencing wanderlust.

Excellent rom-com fluff, especially for Outlander fans. It’s just the right blend of serious and silly and “Oh, Emma, no….” It’s one of the few books I’ve seen that doesn’t make fun of fans, and manages to be a love letter to the Outlander novels and to Scotland while not being heavy-handed about it or overshadowing Emma’s journey. I did find her a bit overly shallow at the start (like her Jamie must have red hair), and perhaps a bit naive as well, but hey, I’ve run into those tropes in romance and travel novels, respectively, before. Whatever. Dyer set out to entertain and she certainly succeeded. I was rooting for Emma almost before I knew it.

7/10

I have some mixed feelings about this book. I kind of liked it but I also kind of didn't like it. There were times that I liked Emma and times that I didn't. I never once like Sophia and I really don't like that there was never a true confrontation between the sisters nor was there a resolution. I found it odd that Emma was so leary of so many people but yet was completely accepting of this a very obvious scam artist. It just didn't add up well for me. I enjoyed reading about her journey though and the connection with Outlander. I also really loved her time in Nairn Scotland. Jack and Geordie were also very likable secondary characters and made for great relationships with Emma. Overall I feel if you are a fan of Outlander than this is a fun read that I recommend.… (plus d'informations)
