My Summary:

Thanks #NetGalley @BoldwoodBooks for a complimentary eARC of #LastStopOnTheWinterWonderlandExpress upon my request. All opinions are my own.

Aubrey is anticipating her romantic honeymoon on the Wonderland Express…until her fiancé leaves her standing at the altar. Even though she knows the trip will be filled with romantic couples, she decides to take the Wonderland Express trip anyway and enjoy visiting the European Christmas Marts and seeing the Northern Lights. Impulsively, she announces that her husband has died tragically, a decision she later regrets. She joins a small group of other singles who label themselves The Unlucky in Love Travel Club, and she meets a handsome journalist, Jason.

My Thoughts:

Humor

A colorful and quirky cast of characters provides plenty of opportunities for humor, hilarious situations, and witty banter. Some of it borders on absurd, but if you go with it and are looking for an entertaining and light read, this does not disappoint.

Admirable Main Character

I admire a main character who knows herself, is independent, and confident. Aubrey doesn’t know why her fiance has left her at the alter, but she is level-headed and trusts the relationship enough to suspect that he must have a good reason. She’s concerned but doesn’t blame herself or fall apart. She decides to take the trip and make the best of a difficult and awkward situation. Aubrey knows what she wants in a committed relationship and is not afraid to communicate that to Jason. Aubrey and her ex-fiancé have an honest, adult discussion about what happened. I appreciate all the mature communication!

Setting

What’s not to love about festive, holiday train travel through Europe? Add a few Christmas Marts and the northern lights!

Recommending Last Stop on the Winter Wonderland Express:

Fans of escapist reads, train travel, zany humor, and unexpected romance will find lots to appreciate about the Last Stop on the Winter Wonderland Express.
