Cute stories. Easy read and entertaining. Especially if you like to read about other countries.
This book follows the adventures of three friends as they spend a year in Europe as Year Abroad Students. Robin goes to Europe where she tries to hide the Texan in her. Dana goes to France with one thing on her mind - finding Mr. Romantic. Carrie spends the year in Italy pretending to be Italian. Nothing turns out quite like they planned, but in the end, it all works out for the best.
I don't usually like books written in first person - especially when the perspective changes back and forth throughout, but I liked this book. The first story was my favorite and I liked each one a little less as they went on. It's worth the credit for the first story alone, in my opinion.
