13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson
This is by the same author as the Scarlett Series (which I loved) but I didn't love this one quite as much. My primary concern was that the main character was 17 and yet her parents let her go off to Europe, unescorted, with no idea of where she would be staying or what she would be doing. Have these parents never seen Taken? Are they insane? Maybe I am crazy, but I would never let my girls go to Europe alone before they graduate high school. Never.
But, that aside, I still didn't love it as much as other books by this author. I liked it, it was funny and interesting and it made me want to go to Europe. But I didn't love it. I thought the last envelope was a total let down, I thought the Aunt was a flake, I thought the love interest was weird, and I cannot believe the FMC's parents let her run off like that!!!
Obviously I cannot get over it. I am going to read more books by this author. Even if I have to buy them. You may notice I did not mention the book spending freeze. I accidentally purchased this book. Oops.
