About the Book
A road trip romance through the Irish countryside where two new friends wonder at something more.Book Synopsis
Trish Doller's idyllic romance Off the Map proves sometimes a wrong turn can lead to the exact right destination.
On the road to love, you don't need a GPS... Carla Black's life motto is "here for a good time, not for a long time." She's been traveling the world on her own in her vintage Jeep Wrangler for nearly a decade, stopping only long enough to replenish her adventure fund. She doesn't do love and she doesn't ever go home. Eamon Sullivan is a modern-day cartographer who creates digital maps. His work helps people find their way, but he's the one who's lost his sense of direction. He's unhappy at work, recently dumped, and his one big dream is stalled out--literally. Fate throws them together when Carla arrives in Dublin for her best friend's wedding and Eamon is tasked with picking her up from the airport. But what should be a simple drive across Ireland quickly becomes complicated with chemistry-filled detours, unexpected feelings, and a chance at love - if only they choose it.Review Quotes
Praise for Off the Map:
GOODREADS, "2023 Heats Up with These Highly Anticipated Romance Novels"
Praise for The Suite Spot: "A perfect brew of humor and heart." - USA TODAY "Trish Doller is one of my favorite authors.

Thanks to the Book Club CookBook & St. Martin’s Griffin for an advance reader's copy. All comments and opinions are my own. I was eager to read this as I’ve read Trish Dollar’s other two Beck Sisters rom-coms, ("Float Plan” and "The Suite Spot”). While all are basically stand-alones, some of the characters reappear in each book, giving a sense of continuity and recognition. In this latest one Carla Black has been traveling the world on her own for nearly a decade after having honored her dad’s request that she wouldn’t come home to see him deteriorating from dementia. When she arrives in Dublin to attend her best friend’s wedding (Anna from “Float Plan”) she meets (and falls for) Eamon Sullivan. This goes against Carla’s vow to avoid love and commitment. She says it’s just a fling, though Eamon senses their chemistry is more than a temporary hookup. While Carla and Eamon enjoy each other’s company as they travel through Ireland (several steamy scenes), we can see that their relationship is developing into something with potential. I enjoyed the second half of the novel more than the first, when Carla comes home to spend quality time with her dad after all. This was when the story became heartwarming and bumped up my rating from 3 to 4 stars as Carla allowed herself to acknowledge her emotions. She and her dad spend time together and connect even when he is experiencing memory loss issues. So Trish Doller has written another memorable book. This is a light-hearted romance with seriously nuanced elements of real life.
