Description: Shane has been doing college all wrong. Pre-med, stellar grades, and happy parents…sounds ideal—but Shane's made zero friends, goes home every weekend, and romance…what’s that?

Her life has been dorm, dining hall, class, repeat. Time's a ticking, and she needs a change—there's nothing like moving to a new country to really mix things up. Shane signs up for a semester abroad in London. She's going to right all her college mistakes: make friends, pursue boys, and find adventure!

Easier said than done. She is soon faced with the complicated realities of living outside her bubble, and when self-doubt sneaks in, her new life starts to fall apart.

Shane comes to find that, with the right amount of courage and determination one can conquer anything. Throw in some fate and a touch of magic—the possibilities are endless.

Hello.

This book was one that I bought because the premise spoke to me. I thought it would be a fun read. Some books are like that. I buy them knowing that they will most likely just be fun to read. Life is often too serious and it is nice to escape into a fun book. 

I would like to say that this book stayed fun but there were moments where I became so frustated with some of the characters that I wanted to throw the book. So much for the book staying "fun". This was a book where I wanted to reach into it and throttle a person or two. The author created characters that were similar to ones that you may encounter in real life. They were flawed. They were complex. They were real. 

I am rating this book Four Red Books because I truly enjoyed reading it. I didn't want to put it down once I started it. I will be on the lookout for future works by this author. Recommend.

Currently reading: Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare (Yes, I know that is shocking that I am still reading this. It has been a hectic week.)
