This book is a hilariously funny tale of Alice, who heads off on a world trip to find herself and #FindTheFun.

There have been comparisons with Bridget Jones, so I was tempted to read it but at the same time dubious that it would not live up to the comparisons, but how wrong I was! Alice really was the modern day Bridget, from her haphazard attitude towards life, to constantly getting things wrong.

The book begins with Alice's 30th birthday, a day where she gets really drunk and accidentally sends a sexually inappropriate text to her boss which causes her to lose her job, add in a newly pregnant and loved up flatmate, and Alice feels that she no longer knows where she fits in. As a result, she decides that she has reached a milestone where she needs to broaden her horizons and find herself. She sets off on her travels and sets up a travel blog to share her experiences.

I honestly cannot think of the last time I laughed out loud when reading a book, but the snappy dialogue and sheer hilarity of Alice's escapades were just so funny it was impossible not to laugh! There was also a more serious side story, which was thought-provoking and poignant, and provided the perfect balance between the humour of the present day events, with the sadness Alice carries from her childhood and early adulthood. The blog posts and comments interspersed within the story added something special to the story. Alice blogs sometimes creatively to make things sound less chaotic than they actually were, and sometimes with such a brutal honesty that I cringed at her openness. The trolls commenting on her posts, together with a funny moderator add a realism and additional level of humour that really add to make this an exceptionally funny book.

I have not read Lucy Vine's previous novels, but I will be checking them out now, because this was fantastic.

I would like to thank Lucy Vine, Orion and Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
