For her debut, Looks Like Love (WestBow), Brandy Bruce was inspired by romantic comedies where travel abroad is integral to the story. “I went to London several years ago and just loved it,” she says. “When this story of this brokenhearted girl popped into my head, I thought wouldn’t it be fun to write a book about a girl rediscovering what love looks like in her life— and who gets to travel to London in the process? The rest is history.”
