I See London, I See France

I See London, I see France by Sarah Mlynowski is a light and fun book about two life-long friends reuniting after their freshman year at College to tour Europe. Nineteen-year-old Sydney has the perfect summer mapped out. She’s spending the next four and half weeks traveling through Europe with her childhood best friend, Leela. Their plans include Eiffel-Tower selfies, eating cocco gelato, and making out with très hot strangers. Her plans do not include Leela’s cheating ex-boyfriend showing up on the flight to London, falling for the cheating ex-boyfriend’s très hot friend, monitoring her mother’s spiraling mental health via texts, or feeling like the rope in a friendship tug-of-war.

As Sydney zigzags through Amsterdam, Switzerland, Italy, and France, she must learn when to hold on, when to keep moving, and when to jump into the Riviera…

Even though the subject matter is relatively light, it was still an interesting read. Sometimes we need something fun to break up reading more serious books – and this is a good pick.
