Review:
This was a fun treat of a book. I found myself wishing I could actually travel and experience the same things myself. I have never even been out of the country before, but this series has made me want to pack my suitcase and go. And it would be a blast to experience it with a girl’s group. Traveling and exploring with a few fellow women would be a blast. Seeing the friendship between the women in this book was great. And Robin Jones Gunn does an amazing job at painting pictures with her descriptive style of writing. She brought it all to life in a magical, realistic and totally relatable way. I am not a huge fan of contemporary fiction, but I was impressed with the way this story was done, for the development it took, and the flow it had. I didn’t find myself bored or my mind wandering once while reading, which is proof that she is a master storyteller since I am easily distracted when reading contemporary fiction. In addition to the wonderful storyline, I absolutely LOVE the fact that there were recipes included at the end of this book, as well as discussion questions. I was not expecting to see those in a fictional story and was pleasantly surprised! (I actually decided to bake on of the cookies recipes and it was delicious!) This series is a fun, easy to read, contemporary read that leaves you wanting more. Here’s hoping she has more planned for this series and it doesn’t conclude with just the two books!
