About this ebook

A warm, sexy, laugh-out-loud rom-com about a woman who, desperate for a fresh start, books a literary bus tour across the UK that consists of a lively group of elderly ladies plus one infuriatingly handsome Scottish driver.

UK Bus Trip Goals:

  1. Crawl out of pajamas.
  2. Get over cheating bastard and his stupid ironed jeans. 
  3. Have my first real adventure!
  4. Achieve stability, strength, and growth.
  5. Definitely do NOT kiss any British men.

Alice loves a good list. But careful planning didn’t stop her from losing her job and her fiance in one fell swoop. With her dreaded 30th birthday looming on the horizon, Alice makes the first impulsive decision of her life - booking a flight to the UK for a three-week, all-female, literary bus tour. What could possibly go wrong?

Turns out - everything.

Alice arrives to discover that this tour isn’t what she expected. At all. Instead of cool, globe-trotting thirtysomethings with meaningful tattoos, she finds a rickety, antique bus full of fluffy-haired octogenarians. And to make matters infinitely worse, the tour guide makes her blood boil! And that devilish grin of his tells her he’s dead set on making her trip a misery. 

But as they travel from castle ruins to cozy pubs, Alice may just find that she’s got it all wrong. The ladies are vivacious. The book club chat is on fire. And damn if that mischievous smile doesn't threaten to turn her world upside down - and her beloved list right along with it!

Funny & warm with cutting edge snark😄 4.5🌟 I picked this up for the book's setting (a bus tour of Britain), & fell in love with the confrontational relationship between American Alice Cooper and Scottish tour guide Robbie Brodie. Alice is almost a slapstick Lucy Ricardo with the situations she ends up in starting from the very first pages. She identifies Robbie as her nemesis right off and the sparks fly. Smirks, eye rolls, cutting retorts pepper this enemies to lovers story with fun ensemble.

About the author

Kat Mackenzie is an American who just happened to find herself living abroad for ten years and accidentally traveling to over forty countries in an attempt to taste all the food. She holds degrees from the University of Edinburgh and the University of Oxford but has discovered that they serve her best collecting dust on the shelf while she pens comedy-forward stories about women who travel. Work in Progress is her first novel.
