The Map That Leads to You Tekijä: J.P. Monninger
This is one of those books that you pick up thinking you’ll read a bit and you blink several times hours later realizing you haven’t moved, the dog hasn’t been fed - let alone let out to potty - it’s dark outside and what was supposed to be a bit of reading consumed your entire afternoon. I’m not normally a sappy romantic-but this one got me. So many emotions stirred up with this. I have no complaints-this is just a good read. Not quite on the “ugly cry” list for me—-but certainly in the heart wrenching list. This one will haunt me.… (lisätietoja)
"A romantic, vivid novel that takes place in the tender time of a young woman’s life: Heather has graduated from college and is traveling around Europe with her two best friends. She’s left school responsibility behind and adult responsibility is looming, but this is her one, ONE last summer to be free. Heather doesn’t expect to even meet Jack, let alone fall in love with him. Jack is an enigmatic Vermonter a few years older than she is, who is following his grandfather’s journal to various cities around Europe. But in the same way that forces are bringing Jack and Heather together, life and duty are pushing them apart. And Jack has a secret that is going to change absolutely everything."
I am willing to admit that I am a sucker for a good love story and though there were moments where I wasn't sure how I initially felt about the relationship between Heather and Jack, my heart was rallying for them in a big way.
Heather and Jack are such like-able characters. They have wit, charm, and a fabulous sense of humor. The dialogue/banter between them is enjoyable to witness and though it moved quickly, their love was beautiful to watch take shape. Of course, with every great love story, there is always something else lurking in the shadows. Jack's secret is that something else.
In addition to the sweetness of the Heather and Jack romance, you have the friendships that Heather has with Amy and Constance. How she speaks of her friends gives you everything you need to see how pure Heather's heart is and how much you want her to find her happy ending - whatever that may need to be.
Aside from the obvious love story, I also wanted to point out how beautifully the writer takes you through each city in this romantic European adventure. You are absolutely there with the characters, experiencing the culture in a new way.
This story flows naturally and does not disappoint. If you are a fan of NA/chicklit, I highly recommend this read.

I received an e-copy of this ebook for my honest review.
This book had the same effect on me that John Green’s “The Fault In Our Stars” had. No, I take that back. This book had more of an effect on me. With John Green’s book I knew after a few chapters that things may not end well, and I cried. But, it was at The End of that book that I had a book hangover and an ugly cry. In this book I didn’t realize how bad things were until the last chapter of Part 1. And that is when I had an ugly cry. By the time I was three quarters through Part 2 was when I had my Big Ugly Cry. At the end, I had my book hangover, and another Big, Big Ugly Cry. I am getting this book in print, because this is one of those books that you have to have. You need it so you can hold it, touch the pages, and press against you when you have the Big Ugly Cry. This is one of those books that you get so, when you need to, you can have a Big Ugly Cry. It’s a book you’ll have with you until the end of your days. It is That Good!… (lisätietoja)

Aaaaahhhh...I absolutely LOVED this book. My heart is aching now that I've reached the last page. :( It has wrapped its literary arms around me.
