I VOLUNTARILY REVIEWED A COPY FROM THE "RACHEL E. CARTER YA BOOK CLUB ON GOODREADS. 
 Thank you to the Author and Rachel E Carter for the opportunity to read and review this book. 
 I found this book quite addictive - I ended up reading it in one sitting (and missed out on a few hours of sleep to do so!) 
 This book follows Rory Hartnett, a 21 yr old young woman from Kansas. She travels to Rome for a 6 week study abroad course. 
 Rory suffers from severe anxiety, and we have a LOT of negative inner talk through out the book. I kind of expected her anxiety to improve over the course of the book, and in some ways it did, but not in a way that I found satisfactory. 
 Rory may be 21, but she is very immature and childish, and though you can relate with some of her anxiety, it all becomes a bit too much IMO. 
 The potential love interest, Ned, is a stoner who lives in the same house as Rory while in Rome. He comes across as a sweet guy, but honestly I couldn't really understand why he was written as a stoner? I also felt that we don't learn enough about Ned to truely understand him, and as a result, I found I didn't really like him that much, or ship the relationship. 
 (view spoiler)[ I also did not like how Ned encourages Rory to smoke pot with him, and how even though she knows it lowers her inhibitions, she decides to smoke it anyway. Don't get me wrong, I'm no prude by any means, but yeah - this wasn't for me (hide spoiler)] 
 This book is marketed as a light, fun read, but honestly it had some pretty heavy subject matter. I did enjoy it, but probably won't read any more by this author.
