One of Popsugar’s Best New Books for Summer 2020
A 30-year-old woman retraces her gap year through Ireland, France, and Italy to find love - and herself - in this hilarious and heartfelt novel.
It's been seven years since Chelsea Martin embarked on her yearlong postcollege European adventure. Since then, she's lost her mother to cancer and watched her sister marry twice, while Chelsea's thrown herself into work, becoming one of the most talented fundraisers for the American Cancer Coalition, and with the exception of one annoyingly competent coworker, Jason Knightley, her status as most successful moneymaker is unquestioned.
When her introverted mathematician father announces he's getting remarried, Chelsea is forced to acknowledge that her life stopped after her mother died and that the last time she can remember being happy, in love, or enjoying her life was on her year abroad. Inspired to retrace her steps - to find Colin in Ireland, Jean Claude in France, and Marcelino in Italy - Chelsea hopes that one of these three men who stole her heart so many years ago can help her find it again.
From the start of her journey nothing goes as planned, but as Chelsea reconnects with her old self, she also finds love in the very last place she expected.

Towards the end of the story it felt overly scripted, as if the author had a list of clichés required per novel and saved them all for the last few chapters.
Lastly, Jason’s “Boston” accent was executed so inconsistently that I wish the narrator would have just left it out. His accent was so annoying that I had a hard time thinking of him as a desirable male lead.
Despite all that…I finished it for some reason. Meh.
Nice plot… a bit tedious.

Great Story

At the risk of sounding contradictory I will say the writing and flow was fantastic. I would have liked the book if it was not so cliche and the characters were more likable.
As for the narration, either give us a Boston accent for Jason or drop it all together. The rest of the performance was amazing.
Meh
