Summary
Isobel is eight years old and marrying Andrew Parker, the boy of her dreams, on the school playground. Life is perfect. Then the ceremony is over, and a week later so is the marriage.
Twenty years on and Isobel is dressed as a prawn handing out promotional fliers. Her career is going nowhere, and her love life leaves a lot to be desired. Then she catches sight of Andrew, her first husband, and wonders if she can rekindle a playground romance.

Obvious plot in far off destination
Isobel is possibly the most non self aware person on the planet. She’s vapid and relatively unlikable for most of the book, and this is possibly the first time I’ve found myself not even vaguely rooting for the main character of a book.
She suddenly decides her life is crap and goes haring across the planet in search of her ‘husband’ from when she was a kid. Not even someone she loved, just a friend who she ‘married’ in the playground - but sure, he must be ‘the one’.
Amusing exploits ensue and I did enjoy listening to the travel part of this novel, but every single interaction she had with another human being was cringeworthy (including randomly hating on another character who was nothing but nice to her) and I was looking forward to the fairly obvious ending.
I love chick lit and listen it almost exclusively but I really didn’t enjoy this book at all.

Amusing character
Izzy (the main character) is quite likeable and relatable. Can't decide whether I liked the diary entries or not but the book was enjoyable easy to listen to.

Pretty childish
This is the sort of book for a teenager in my opinion. The lead character is a silly little girl. Nothing warmed me to her. The ending of the book was obvious.
