okayyyy, “the holiday” but sapphic was how this was recommended to me which was instantly intriguing but i’m not sure this was my cup of tea. i think dual romances can be fun but in this case one story was more interesting to me haha. i enjoyed her writing and witty banter though which definitely picked up the slack for me. i’ll still read her next release for sure.


thank you to netgalley and berkley for the arc!!

This was such a wonderful surprise. I really needed something light this week and this hit the spot! I really loved these characters and their chemistry.

Originally I thought that switching between two different couples would be confusing, but I kinda loved it. There was absolutely never a dull moment!

I am especially a fan of Carson 😍

I've never read anything by Bridget Morrissey, but with Anywhere You Go, I have become an instant fan.

A summertime, queer twist on The Holiday, this romance was an absolute delight to read from start to finish, featuring four characters you can't help but root for individually and as two couples, small-town shenanigans that will make you smile, and mental health representation that is beautifully explored and executed.

I look forward to handselling this title in the summer alongside her previous novel, That Summer Feeling, which I'll definitely be picking up soon.

Bridget Morrissey must have heard my recent plea to the romance gods and answered it with this book. After finishing two romances with excruciating third act breakups back-to-back, I begged the universe to send me a sapphic romance where the solidification of a couple is the climax of the story rather than their miscommunication strewn breakup and Morrissey gave me not one, but TWO beautiful and complex couples who work through their issues before making it official. "Anywhere You Go" delivered all the mushy feel-good charm you'd expect from a book comp'd to The Holiday and I loved everything about it.

Who doesn’t love a cozy romance. This was a great read, with great characters, I loved how the story felt relatable. Romance can be hit or miss with me because of the spice, it needs to make sense when it happens and sometimes it can be too much but this was the right mix of romance and tension and I loved it.

4.25⭐️ This is the perfect romance book if you're looking for something like the Holiday but gay and set in the summer.

This book follows Tatum, a small-town waitress running from her family problems, and Eleanor, reeling after the loss of her job as a press agent in NYC. Both are looking for change and so they agree to swap houses for a week – Cue their journeys of self discovery and unexpected romance.

I don't think this book can quite overcome the pitfall of trying to fit double the yearning, character growth, and connection of two love stories in the page count authors usually take to write one, but it was still very enjoyable and I sometimes like that there wasn't extra fluff. This book does more telling than showing, but I found the dialogue engaging, the banter funny, and the characters relatable.

tropes: one night to forever | friends to lovers | small-town/big city

representation: lesbian mc, bi/pan mc, nb love interest

Overall, this was a fun and quick read!

Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

RATING: 2/5 STARS

I was unfortunately bored with this novel, though The Holiday premise did make me think I would like it!

I really enjoyed this as a romance novel and how everything worked with the story that it needed to. I enjoyed the idea of a Broadway agent and a waitress. It was everything that I wanted and thought it was a realistic concept. Bridget Morrissey has a strong writing style for the genre and I really enjoyed the overall story.

“The Holiday”-ish romance is something I didn’t know if I would enjoy but add in sapphic and count me in.

A billion star rating for you! I need a thousand more thank you

If The Holiday were a sapphic romance set in the summertime and featuring the Midwest and New York City instead of England and LA, you'd have Anywhere You Go. Tatum is a small-town waitress pining for one of her regular customers and trying to avoid some major family drama. Eleanor is a Broadway publicist who loses her job in a spectacularly public fashion. The two agree to switch homes, and we follow each as they have adventures in a new environment.

This is really two romances in one. Eleanor's story involves Tatum's enby sibling, Carson, who shows up at Tatum's house and seems immediately very into Eleanor. Tatum's diner crush, June, is the reason the two go to NYC, so that June can pitch her fragrance company to investors.

My favorite character is Eleanor's grumpy New York neighbor, who turns out to be a once-famous actress who reluctantly befriends Tatum and June.

Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for the ARC to review. All opinions are my own.
