An American girl embarks on a competitive scavenger hunt in England—and along the way, meets up with a bookish British boy who might make the trip take some unexpected turns.

Praise for Love & Other Great Expectations

"Take it from a romance-addicted Anglophile: Becky Dean’s Love & Other Great Expectations is a dessert to be devoured. Simply put, I adored it." —K. L. Walther, New York Times bestselling author of The Summer of Broken Rules

“This smart and swoony debut is the perfect read for lovers of travel and British literature. Pack your bags and get ready to join the coolest scavenger hunt ever!” —Kristy Boyce, bestselling author of Dungeons and Drama

Britt Hanson has always preferred scoring goals on the soccer field to analyzing dusty old books. But when an injury ends her dream to play in college, she jumps at the chance to compete in a scavenger hunt in England that takes her to the locations of classic novels—the prize money would change her life!

Once in the UK she meets bookish and very British Luke Jackson. He can’t actually help her with any of the clues (against the rules), but something about Luke compels her to invite him to join her. She wouldn’t mind getting to know him—and listening to his accent.

To win, Britt must outsmart three competitors who aren’t afraid to play dirty while solving clues and traveling around the English countryside. Along the way, Britt learns that sometimes you have to follow the map and other times, you need to throw caution to the wind and see where the cobblestoned road leads you.
