This book is a gem. What makes it so special is its characters- adorably ADHD Edie with her quirkiness, creativity, and huge heart; and competent Cosima with the weight of a small universe on her shoulders and her direct communication style. There were moments I laughed out loud, and moments I really felt for them. I loved their relationship and the way they care for the people in their lives but especially each other- they really saw the core of each other and were such a good match. The treasure hunt and European backdrop were so fun. This will definitely stick with me.

Short summary: Edie has one month to lick her wounds at the cheapest hotel in England before returning to a less than stellar reality. Cosima is running away. She can’t say exactly for how long or how to solve her problem but she needs space and time…definitely not a very nosy across the hall hotel mate.

Thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin’s Griffin. ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.
