A woman retraces her gap year through Ireland, France, and Italy to find love - and herself - in this hilarious and heartfelt novel

Description

A thirty-year-old woman retraces her gap year through Ireland, France, and Italy to find love—and herself—in this hilarious and heartfelt novel.

One of Popsugar's Best New Books for Summer 2020

It's been seven years since Chelsea Martin embarked on her yearlong post-college European adventure. Since then, she's lost her mother to cancer and watched her sister marry twice, while Chelsea has thrown herself into work, becoming one of the most talented fundraisers for the American Cancer Coalition. With the exception of one annoyingly competent co-worker, Jason Knightley, her status as the most successful moneymaker is unquestioned.

When her introverted mathematician father announces he's getting remarried, Chelsea is forced to acknowledge that her life stopped after her mother died. The last time she can remember being happy, in love, or enjoying her life was during her year abroad. Inspired to retrace her steps—to find Colin in Ireland, Jean Claude in France, and Marcelino in Italy—Chelsea hopes that one of these three men who stole her heart so many years ago can help her find it again.

From the start of her journey, nothing goes as planned, but as Chelsea reconnects with her old self, she also finds love in the very last place she expected.
