I won't lie, I saw the book jacket for this book and thought it looked like the perfect read to bring in the holidays. I am not usually a holiday book reader, meaning that I don't choose a book for the season. I usually chose by author, reviews or something that piques my interest. My mother passed this year. We were terribly close and it rocked my home, so as the holidays approached and the weight of the missing loved one came, I dug in to books to escape. I have a teenager and this seems to do the trick when I wanna pull my hair out with her as well. lol Anyway, now I know what I have missed. I adored this book and it was wonderful to see Cassie the leading character grow and find herself. I do have to mention that this is my first Karen Swan book, but won't be my last.
Book Jacket Summary:
Cassie settled down too young, marrying her first serious boyfriend. Now, ten years later, she is betrayed and broken. With her marriage in tatters and no career or home of her own, she needs to work out where she belongs in the world and who she really is.
So begins a year-long trial as Cassie leaves her sheltered life in rural Scotland to stay with each of her best friends in the most glamorous cities in the world: New York, Paris and London. Exchanging grouse moor and mousy hair for low-carb diets and high-end highlights, Cassie tries on each city for size as she attempts to track down the life she was supposed to have been leading, and with it, the man who was supposed to love her all along.
