You know those moments where you can't help but be inspired? You get that warm fuzzy feeling that you can't make go away.
That's how I felt when I picked up this book. I felt it from the first few pages.
"Love by the Book" is a must if you want to pick up the travel bug.
Without spoiling anything, it tells the story of a girl in her 20s from a small town on the East Coast taking the plunge and moving across the world to London to be her own person. She tackles the difficulty of dating and decides to follow a different dating guidebook every month and see which method works best. You almost feel like you're there with her going through her good and bad dates and living in her apartment with her and her roommate. She learns to juggle her dating life, her work life, and her social life.
I was given this book as a gift on my 18th birthday by one of my closest friends. Not only did she know this book was going to be my absolute favorite, but it came at such a pivotal moment in my life. I was about to graduate high school and I still wasn't sure what I wanted to do in terms of my future. I knew I wanted to go to college, but for what? I knew I wanted to travel and live abroad, but would that even be possible? This book honestly taught me that it's ok to take risks and it's ok to deal with things one day at a time.
When you turn 18 you don't know what to do. You don't know who you are or what you want to be or what you want to do with your life. But that's okay, you have time to figure it all out.
I never thought a book would have such an impact on my life or that a book like this even existed.
it's quirky, it's fun, and it's sure to put a smile on your face.
