    What our readers think

    Readers find this title to be a mix of positive and negative aspects. They appreciate the great tips and stories, finding them helpful and enjoyable. However, some readers find the font size to be too small, making it difficult to read. They also feel that the book reads more like a travel guide than a compelling story. Overall, the book provides valuable tips for solo travel, but could benefit from improvements in readability and storytelling."

      Really great tips I didn’t think of!
    • 3/5
      The format and content was crisp and cute yet it felt more like a travel guide than a compelling story to be read, welcoming people in the world of solo travelling.
    • 5/5
      Great tips and stories. Fun to read. I love solo travel!
    • 1/5
      I read a few pages and my eyes were hurting. The font is so small and I can't even zoom in or enlarge it. What is point of writing a book if it's not reader friendly?
