Living and working in Ireland for the summer is the stuff dreams are made of…just not Chelsea’s. When she unexpectedly loses her job in Boston, her choices are moving back in with Mom and Dad or packing her bags for a summer job at a hostel in Galway, Ireland. Chelsea reluctantly choses Ireland, determined not to fall in love with the country or anyone in it. But that’s before she meets Colin, bartender and tour guide extraordinaire.
This novel was filled with rich descriptions of the Irish countryside served with a side of fairy stories and Irish brogue. I enjoyed seeing Chelsea express her creativity in her new job at the hostel (although some of her ideas seemed more suited to a hotel or resort setting). I was a bit disappointed by the ending, but all in all this was a sweet story.
A fun pick for those who have studied abroad, backpacked through Europe, or ever dreamed of doing so.
I received an advanced copy of this novel from the publisher (Avon and Harper Voyager) via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
