Her life has been dorm, dining hall, class, repeat. Time's a ticking, and she needs a change - there's nothing like moving to a new country to really mix things up. Shane signs up for a semester abroad in London. She's going to right all her college mistakes: make friends, pursue boys, and find adventure!
Easier said than done. She is soon faced with the complicated realities of living outside her bubble, and when self-doubt sneaks in, her new life starts to fall apart.
Shane comes to find that, with the right amount of courage and determination, one can conquer anything. Throw in some fate and a touch of magic - the possibilities are endless.
Okay, so I went into this book knowing that it has been getting mixed reviews but I figured it's a short contemporary about a girl studying abroad I will probably like it.
That was unfortunately not the case, Shane is without a doubt one of the most annoying and frustrating main characters that I have ever read about. I honestly thought that she was sixteen because of how immature she acts. The fact that she has the audacity to go after a guy even after she knows that he has a girlfriend really tells you all you need to know about her. And I really hate when people blame the other woman but don't say anything about the guy but he didn't do anything, he stayed loyal to his girlfriend.
I also can not get over how the plot ends up getting turned into a slight sci-fi halfway through, that really turned me off of this book.
