This is one of my stepdaughter's books, so I picked it up to see what was up. I have mixed feelings about the series in general. I liked that at least they did some sight-seeing in this one, and I liked that the main character seemed kind and down to earth, but Caroline was tough to read about - she was such a flat character in that she was JUST negative, without really good reason and without much change (if she wasn't being negative I felt that I couldn't trust her motives).
