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.
It's been seven years since Chelsea Martin embarked on her yearlong postcollege European adventure. Since then, she's lost her mother to cancer and watched her sister marry twice, while Chelsea's thrown herself into work, becoming one of the most talented fundraisers for the American Cancer Coalition, and with the exception of one annoyingly competent coworker, Jason Knightley, her status as 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 and that the last time she can remember being happy, in love, or enjoying her life was on 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.

When her father announces his second marriage, it is difficult for Chelsea to fathom the same, It’s been seven years since her mother passed due to cancer and she has been tirelessly working and is excellent at her job but she has closed herself and since then has had no real relationship. Something that her sister Annabelle whose been married twice and father who is a mathematician have told her. Prior to her mother’s death, she had been on a post- college adventure to Europe and had fallen in love with three very different guys. One was from Ireland, the other from France, and finally the last from Italy. Determined on finding herself back again, Chelsea decides to revisit Europe and find the guys she loved. What she never expected was her colleague and rival Jason Knightley crashing her trip!
What happens next is hilarious, adorable, cute, romantic and definitely made me cry. (The happy ones)
I loved Chelsea, she’s so much relatable, raw and genuine. As much as I loved Chelsea, I also loved Jason, he’s charming, witty and every girl’s dream.
I can’t wait to dive into more of Jenn McKinlay novels.
I rate it: 5/5
