Not eighty days long, thankfully, but here is a round-up of book blogs that read [and mostly loved!] EIGHTY DAYS TO ELSEWHERE:
Hasty Book List says:
With her signature vibrant and hilarious voice, lauded in earlier works like Finding Fraser (2016), dyer succeeds in not only making Romy a character you can relate to and root for, but ...vividly sets the scene of each of the places Romy visits..."

The Bookish Libra gives 5 great reasons you'll want to read the story, and says:

EIGHTY DAYS TO ELSEWHERE [fittingly] pops up on Insta, too:

Post: Areadingredhead:
"This book definitely has me wanting to break out my passport and go on an excursion."⠀
Post: Booksandbeaches:
"... perfect anyone looking to temporarily escape their little quarantine corner of the world."
Post: Twistsandtropes:
"I have always believed travel widens broadens horizons and gives a better understanding of how other people are living - and I think the author explores that well through Romy whose character starts off as quite insular but throughout her journey is forced to examine her many privileges."
A huge thank you to all the readers who have taken the time to review my new book! And if YOU have read the story, a review on Amazon or elsewhere online is the greatest gift you can give the author. I so hope you enjoy the journey with Romy and Dom and Sumaya!
More soon...
