I also didn’t really connect with Graeme or Henley. It didn’t feel much like an enemies-to-lovers trope because only Henley seems to think they are enemies. Graeme and Henley’s relationship felt rushed and not quite fleshed out. However, the romance element where the book fell short for me. The book also focuses almost as much on elements outside the Graeme and Henley’s romance as it does the relationship itself. Shipped was a fun, light read – and much needed escape! I loved learning more about the Galapagos, and while the plot contained several predictable rom-com elements, the whole travel/cruise company element was something I hadn’t seen before in this genre. Henley and Graeme finally meet when they are sent on one of their company’s cruises to do research for their proposals- and the best proposal earns the promotion. The only thing standing in her way is her Graeme, a remote employee in her department who just so happens to be her biggest enemy. Shipped follows Henley, an ambitions career-driven woman who is considered for a huge promotion at the cruise company she works for. Aside from the adorable cover, I was initially drawn to this book when I saw that it was being marketed as The Unhoneymooners meets The Hating Game.
