Series: Little Blue Envelope, Book 1
Summary (from goodreads):
Inside little blue envelope 1 are $1,000 and instructions to buy a plane ticket.
In envelope 2 are directions to a specific London flat.
The note in envelope 3 tells Ginny: Find a starving artist.
Because of envelope 4, Ginny and a playwright/thief/ bloke–about–town called Keith go to Scotland together, with somewhat disastrous–though utterly romantic–results. But will she ever see him again?
Everything about Ginny will change this summer, and it's all because of the 13 little blue envelopes.
Things I Liked:
I do rather like the premise of this book - Aunt dies abroad and leaves letters for her niece to follow. I often wondered how that premise actually could work out, though. It is kind of a stretch at times and the reasons behind it are a bit vague even by the end. I did like seeing Ginny sort of wade through a new culture and become acclimated by jumping right in.
Things I Didn't Like:
Yeah, I guess I missed the point of the book, cause I can't seem to recall there being one. It could be, however, that I read this one months ago and I just forgot. Either way, that's not exactly an endorsement, right?
Read-alikes:
Um, can't think of anything...

Overall rating: ***
Indeed. Not a great endorsement, no. I remember liking it ok but don't remember it very well so there you go.
