The Layover


a forced-proximity summer romcom
COMING JUNE 26th 2025

The Layover Beth Reekles

The wedding of the year is about to hit some serious turbulence...

Gemma is the maid of honour, but she's not here to throw confetti. After years of coming second to the bride, she's finally ready to stand up for herself.

Leon is convinced his sister is making the biggest mistake of her life - their entire family hates the groom. He has to make her see sense before she says 'I do'.

Francesca once spent a perfect night with the groom - right before he met the bride. If she doesn't tell him how she feels now, she never will.

When a storm grounds their flight the night before the wedding, their plans collide. A few too many airport cocktails later, and their perfect schemes start to unravel -because love, like travel, never goes quite to plan...


The brand-new romantic sensation from Beth Reekles, bestselling author of The Kissing Booth! Perfect for fans of Emily Henry's wit and charm and Christina Lauren's laugh-out-loud humour.

The Layover is a book about messy, imperfect people just trying to do their best... It deals with toxic friendships, complicated family dynamics, and the ridiculous lengths we'll go to for a guy we fancy. 

Since most of the book takes place in an airport (shoutout Orly Terminal 2) this one was a pretty unique challenge to write - but you can bet I did plenty of research, right down to macaron flavours!
