This was a cute idea, but the execution didn't hold up. Probably would have worked better if she was a little older - I'm not sure I would let my 17 year old daughter traipse alone around Europe! Especially without supplies or a way to contact home - extremely unrealistic for what would have happened to her in this situation. And the romance really didn't work for me. He was a dud, and it felt like he was only there because you need a romance in a YA novel. Also not a fan of the aunt who left the envelopes.
