This was a really enjoyable and interesting book. I love how the author, Johnson, took me (along with the main character, Ginny) on a ride all over Europe, and I was sprung onto different cultures and countries. I actually feel like I've traveled to Rome, Paris, and London. This book was well-written, and I connected with and enjoyed the characters. Even the smaller characters such as the Knapps, the Australians, and Keith felt realistic. This book also, and most importantly, made me think about my own life. There were a lot of themes about life and love in this book that I really enjoyed; mostly because it made me think about my own life, and how I want to live it. I recommend this book, especially if you need a vacation and can't afford to travel: 13 Little Blue Envelopes is a much cheaper version.
