***SPOILERS BELOW***
It did take me a few chapters to get into this book. At the beginning of the book I was a little annoyed with how Lyssa was so dependent on Jake and how obsessed she was with trying to have a baby. I did feel sorry for the guy a little bit… until I found out Jake was cheating on her. I don’t care what excuse a person has for cheating he/she should never do it. I did enjoy reading about life in Nepal, it got me thinking about different cultures all over the world. Carole did a great job at explaining how life was in Nepal. I also enjoyed the relationship Lyssa had with her sister… it reminded me in quite a few ways of mine and my sisters relationship. All in all this book made me long for an adventure!

My first book by this author, but it won't be the last! Funny, engaging read, a good escape. Only thing was the POV switch, not a dealbreaker though.
