Publisher's Summary

Richard, a young man from Europe, and Kop, a young woman from Thailand, meet on a fateful encounter in Phuket, Thailand, while they are both on vacation.

Neither of them was looking for love, but what they found was a deep and intimate connection at first sight!

It is 2019, and the world is the most technologically advanced that it has ever been. Travel is at an all-time high, and even the furthest corners of the earth are connected to the rest of the world.

While enjoying the incredible paradise on earth that is Phuket, Thailand, during the dry season, Richard and Kop spend the last few days of Richard's trip falling deeply in love over Thai street food, beach sunsets, and magical experiences.

Unfortunately, the time inevitably comes when Richard has to leave Thailand and go back to Europe, and he and Kop must take their love online, starting a long-distance relationship.

However, Richard knows that he will return to Thailand, and he books a flight for March 2020.

Nobody could have seen the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020 coming, and when it does, it throws a whole new set of challenges into the mix for Richard and Kop. In January 2020, Thailand was the first country outside of China to have Covid cases, and after that, nobody could have imagined what Covid would become in the months that followed.

Only one short week before Richard's flight, Covid begins to show itself and begins to spread in Europe, and countries start to lockdown.

Richard wonders how he will get to the love of his life, with a negative Covid-19 test health certificate being a necessity for travel but almost impossible to get! Follow along as Richard tries as hard as he can to get a Covid test, get to Thailand, and be reunited with the love of his life in the midst of the covid pandemic.

  • What will happen to their relationship once these challenges are placed on it?
  • Will Richard make it to Thailand, or will he get stuck in Europe?
  • How will Kop handle the separation?
  • What will they do as every country in the world closes its borders to foreigners?
  • How will the Covid-19 pandemic affect a long-distance relationship?
  • What will come of the #loveisnottourism hashtag and movement on social media?

This book is a great listen for anyone who has struggled with the effects that the Covid-19 pandemic has had on relationships of every kind, not only romantic ones. This book will have you at the edge of your seat, and you won’t be able to pause, as you will be itching to find out what happens next with Kop and Richard.

Will they make it through? Will the challenges prove insurmountable?

Listen to this book to find out. It is a touching story of love and the lengths that people are willing to go to to be with the person who completes them. This book will touch you, make you smile, make you laugh, and maybe even make you cry!
