"When sheltered American good girl Allyson 'Lulu' Healey first meets laid-back Ditch actor Willem De Ruiter at an underground performance of Twelfth Night in England, there's an undeniable spark. After just one day together, that spark bursts into a flame, or so it seems to Allyson, until the following morning, when she wakes up after a whirlwind day in Paris to discover that Willem has left. Over the next year, Allyson embarks on a journey to come to terms with the narrow confines of her life, and through Shakespeare, travel, and a quest for her almost-true-love, to break free of those confines."
My Rating: 7.5/10.
My Comment: I've always dreamt of being able to travel. Unfortunatly this is about as far as its gonna get. This book made me miss Paris again, the city of love. Read this book if you want some hidden travel tips and a romance story based on travel
