Livy Hart does a perfectly decent job with Planes, Trains and All the Feels, a good opposites-attract romance about two people who couldn’t have less in common finding love together. It’s all right, but not great, perfectly okay, occasionally fun, and very genre-typical.
Cassidy Bliss is heading home for her sister’s wedding, hoping that she’ll be able to put her history as the unreliable family disappointment behind her. Unfortunately, fate has put her in the same car as Luke Carlisle, the man who cut her off in traffic that morning on the way to the airport. Luke’s headed home to help his sister look after their alcoholic mother after being away for months. The trip from Charlotte to Los Angeles has resulted in Cassidy and Luke being partnered up due to a flight mishap Can free spirited choreographer Cassidy and stuffed-shirt Luke get along?
You know the routine: choreographer Cassidy is emotional, Luke is analytical, in between are hot sex and shenanigans. Planes, Trains and All the Feels does well in the latter regard but left me wanting more, especially after reading several other excellent recent road-trip romances.
Cassidy and Luke are cute and classically grumpy/sunshine, Their families are tough and hard on the reader’s hearts sometimes, and Luke’s alcoholic mother versus Cassidy’s hard-to-please parents is a cage match no one wants to participate in. The romance is fine, if held back by their dithering about whether or not they know each other well enough to be this serious. Y’all have known one another for two days, let it breathe!
The end result is a just decently okay road trip romance. Planes, Trains and All the Feels is goodness on a skate but perhaps not greatness on a train. Don’t ask about those automobiles.
