What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

A round-the-world trip with the guy you ghosted? What could possibly go wrong...


When Dylan Coughlan impulsively rings into a radio competition she never expected to win. But now she's about to travel around the world. The catch? Her travel partner is a random contact from her phone. And of course it had to be Jack the Posho, the man she accidentally ghosted.

The two couldn't be more different, and as the trip kicks off, Jack seems like he'd sooner fling himself into the sun than have a conversation with Dylan. But more is hinging on this trip than the chance to see the world. If Dylan's able to make a series about their trip successful, her overbearing boss will give her a chance at a permanent column.

Dylan's willing to do anything to make this a hit, even if it means embellishing her and Jack's relationship. But as the column's popularity grows, so does the bond between Dylan and Jack, and Dylan is forced to consider if the one thing she thought she always wanted is worth the price she'll have to pay to get there.

Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, The Unhooneymooners and Tessa Bailey

Critics Review

Elle Everhart more than delivers with a sparkling voice, mastery of craft, and character chemistry that sizzles off the page, all while unpacking the timely and critical topic of reproductive justice. Carefree yet complex Dylan and adorably uptight cinnamon roll Jack stole my heart and swept me around the world in this cinematic, immersive, steamy dream of a ride!

Elle Everhart's debut is laugh-out-loud funny, sizzling hot, and full of heart. Jack and Dylan are undeniable proof that opposites do attract, and following them around the world is the great escape we all need right now!
Jenny L. Howe, author of The Make-Up Test and On the Plus Side
From the first page, I was all in for this thoughtful, thrilling, and romantic trip around the world. Everhart's writing is both light and cinematic, tying the reader's heartbeat to every moment of Dylan and Jack's love story.
Annabel Monaghan, author of Nora Goes Off Script
Wanderlust is an absolutely stunning rom-com debut!

Wanderlust is perfect for anyone who's longed to travel the globe seeking love, adventure, and even themselves. This is a soaring escapist romance that unpacks timely real-life issues and reminds us that trusting your own heart can lead to destinations unknown and unforgettable, that going away means coming back, and that the best journeys are in memories, not miles. Wanderlust is a book to be whisked away and enjoyed in a sun-drenched somewhere.
