my thoughts in a few sentences: I didn't love Wanderlove by Kristen Hubbard as everyone else seemed to, however that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. I totally did! I'm not very much into roadtripping type books and there have only been a few successes for me, but this isn't a roadtripping book. It's a travel book, and Kristen Hubbard dazzled me with her beautiful descriptions of the places the main character travels that refrain from feeling overdone; her passion comes through loud and clear. And with the main character's arrival, she brings baggage, so much emotion to the story, and it's so simple to sympathize with her personal hurts. Wanderlove by Kristen Hubbard teaches how to rediscover oneself in style, sharing with us the pains and beauty of backpacking across exotic places, even as we witness a slow, torturous romance blossom.
interesting first line: "As soon as I see the blond girl bouncing down the aisle, I know she's heading for the empty seat beside me. "
