This audiobook is one of the best things I have listened to in a while - both the fast paced plot and excellent narration by Williams herself had me chortling away on a packed Tube and daydreaming about a trip to Tuscany. After the pandemic, this is a tonic to wanderlust and dating droughts. The premise is easy low stakes but very effective, the main characters were different enough to be interesting but enough similarities there so it was plausible they would fall for each other but for me it is was the fully fleshed characterizations in so few pages that made this a story that I was invested in. TW for open door romance content. The narration for me was a real highlight as she puts so much personality into it that I was hooked listening, and it was especially nice to hear it as she intended it to be read, inflections and all.
A great reas/listen - thanks NetGalley!

Laura Jane Williams is an auto-buy author for me. Her writing is always witty and exciting, following the plight of a young woman navigating love, friendships and life. This novella was no exception. I loved the enemies to lovers trope and it was made even more special because myself and my partner met at a wedding too. I would recommend this book and any of Laura’s books to those who enjoy contemporary women’s fiction.

Thank you NetGalley and HarperCollins UK Audio for providing me with this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Publication date: February 12th (I heard why, I spotted a date in this book. 😄)

Izzy finds out the suitcase she has in her room is the wrong one. Sam is in the same boat. Will they ever solve this? 🤔

This was a fun little novella. The audiobook is only 2 hours and 17 minutes long, and it is narrated by the author herself, which always brings something extra to the audio. 😊

Since this is quite a short story, I knew the love would be instantaneous. Not really my favourite trope, but I am willing to move past it. 😏
Overall I liked it. It kept me entertained the entire time. 🤩
I also felt as if I could meet these people in my day-to-day life. They felt so normal. 🤓

Perfect novella if you need a fast read. 💙💙

I loved this book. It would be a perfect book to listen to when on a beach or on your commute to work.
I really like books which have two narrators, and this book does it well. It’s a simple premise two people get the wrong suitcases and have to get ready for a wedding! What can go wrong!


Thanks to netgalley for the ARC, all views are my own.

Brilliant story.

I love all of Laura Jane Williams’ books and have followed her on social media for a long time. So to have her narrate it is a bonus.

Great story and it’s short enough to listen to quickly.

This was a really fun story to listen to and the author narrating the story herself was just a brilliant choice! When narration is so spot on it always improves the book.

It's a novella, so the audiobook is also short, but it packs in a lot of laughs within a short amount of time. The characters were so real, as if I had met them in person and they definitely come across as very British! The situations they got themselves into and how they dealt was just a pleasure to listen to making me laugh out loud more than once.

This was the second story by Laura Jane Williams that I have listened to. I also have one of her books waiting for me on my TBR pile and I would not hesitate to buy more of her books, although I might be leaning towards listening to them rather than reading them, especially if Laura will narrate the story herself.

This was just a great and refreshing quick read. It was funny, enjoyable and silly.

A light and fun read!

Also the narrator was great!

This was such a fun novella.

At first, when I realized how short it was, I thought I would just feel meh about it because I would not have enough time to connect with the characters. But I was wrong. I loved Izzy, I was giggling half the time and would love to know more about her and Sam.

The audiobook is definitely the way to go with this one, it is read by the author herself and it is flawless.

3.5 stars
This was a really fun, short meet cute novella. It starts off with 2 of the characters, Izzy and Sam accidentally getting their suitcases switched right before the wedding they are both attending and hitting it off when they end up meeting. I loved the Italian castle destination wedding setting.
The only thing that slightly bothered me was how unrealisticly fast their meeting turned into a "love of my life" thing, but it's always fun to imagine a love at first sight that strong can happen.
I just wish there had been 2 narrators, one for Izzy and a male for Sam. I feel like I spent a lot of time trying to remember which POV I was on.

This was a really cute audio novella.
A real quick 2,5 hours story, about how a switched suitcase messes with the preparation of Izzy and Sam.
And how they find eachother.
This was very charming and British, also read by the author herself. I had a really good time.

A sweet, endearing chick-lit novella with a little bit of naughtiness.
Quite simply put, I loved it. I couldn't stop laughing. It is so British and the author's narration adds to the hilarity of it.

I hate to admit to this, but I've not read anything by Laura Jane Williams before and I feel I have missed out. I will be rectifying this post-haste lol
Honestly, a fantastic read/listen full of witty characters and fantastic one-liners.
I completely adore Birchy (Sam) & Izzy.

A perfect Valentine's Day gift for ears as well as the heart.

Massive thank you to NetGalley & Harper Collins UK Publishing for the gift of this audio arc in return for my honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley, Harper Collins Audio and Laura Jane Williams for an Audio-ARC in return for an honest review.

Izzy has just landed in Italy for her friends wedding, she can’t wait. Unlike Sam, who has been stood up at the airport and now has not date for his best friends wedding. Things go from bad to worse for Sam when his suitcase goes missing. Izzy gets given a suitcase full of mens clothing and decides to keep it until her suitcase is returned.

I can’t remember the last time I genuinely laughed out loud to an audiobook. This had me in absolute hysterics. Laura’s narration suited Izzy to a T. This is the perfect little romcom. I adored it. I really hope there will be a second one as I’d like to see what’s next for Izzy and Sam. My only complaint is that I wanted it to last for much longer as I was enjoying it too much.

Gorgeous, light-hearted, relatable and funny romance novella, made all the more captivating by the wonderful narration from the author.

Izzy and Sam have never met but they are both on their way to a destination wedding, and things are not going smoothly for either of them. When they finally arrive, things go from bad to worse when their luggage containing their wedding outfits go missing.

Tempers are understandably frayed as they are running out of time and trying to make the best of the situation. But when they meet there seems to be a spark, or is that just frustration and annoyance?

I loved this My only criticism is that I didn't want it to end ❤️

A Delightful listen as well as a great story. I haven’t always enjoyed audio books, but I absolutely adored this one, listening to this story being told by the author, putting the nuances into the voices, showing the characters as more than just simple people. What starts a simply an annoying coincidence of matching suitcases that end up in the wrong rooms, becomes so much more. The depth to the characters made this great for me, I really enjoyed that. The whole story engaged me, and kept me hooked the whole way through.

I’ve read Williams’ novels in the past, largely enjoying them, and this novella was fun and romantic in the same vein. Sadly I didn’t love the narrator (who I found out at the end was actually the author) but I’m quite fussy about that with audiobooks so it’s not necessarily a problem for other listeners.

A new author to me, and will be looking out for more. A simple but great story about two people who met at a wedding when they have each others luggage. Great characters and well written, really enjoyed it. Wish it had been longer.

'The Wrong Suitcase' is a short and sweet romance novella. I really enjoyed listening to the audiobook! The author’s narration was wonderful, I loved her accent!!

I might pick up more books by this author in the future...

"I was never supposed to be here with anyone else. I was never supposed to get the right luggage delivered to my room. It was always going to be this way."

A cute little palette cleanser of an audiobook which has made me 100x more excited for the upcoming weddings I have this year!

A funny, light-hearted, romantic tale that works perfectly as an audiobook, with the narration being done by the author herself! This was highly enjoyable, made me smile, and put me in a great mood for the rest of my day.

Being a novella, this audiobook is only just over 2 hours long. It finished far too quickly for me, although it did make doing my housework much more entertaining! I have been left wanting more from these characters, and fingers cross there will be more from them in the future. I loved the way this author created charming and likable characters and the escapism that this book offers.

Highly recommended to anyone looking for a quick, short mood boost. Sure to pick you up whenever needed.

This was such a fun book to listen to, lighthearted, funny, a little cringey at times but nothing I can't handle for a fun and easy book.
Some audiobooks can be difficult to pay attention to but this story had me hooked and the narrator was great, gave a very colloquial feel, like listening to a friend telling you story. Would definitely recommend!
