An addictive and laugh-out-loud story about two strangers and a life-changing trip . . . Magazine writer Dylan Coughlan impulsively rings a radio station one day only to win a once-in-a-lifetime trip around the world. The catch Her travel partner must be a contact randomly selected on her phone. Of course, it turns out to be the number listed only as Jack the Posho, an uptight, unbearably posh guy she met on a night out and accidentally ghosted. The two couldn't be more different. Dylan makes the creative decision to write about her trip in a column for the magazine . . . But as the column's popularity grows, so does the bond between Dylan and Jack . . .
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! * Courtney Kae, author of In the Event of Love *
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. * Lillie Vale, author of The Decoy Girlfriend and The Shaadi Set-Up *
Elle Everhart writes romantic comedies featuring the internet, sarcasm, and lots of queer characters (especially bisexual characters because I, too, cuff my jeans and can't properly sit in chairs). Elle lives in East London and works as a secondary English teacher. When she's not writing, you'll catch Elle watching a whole lot of YouTube, obsessing over the worst shows Netflix has to offer, and hanging around with her son.
