Summary: 17 year old Virginia Blackstone (Ginny) receives the first blue envelope from her Aunt Peg-who has died-that sends her on an adventure that turns her life around. The envelope contains $1000 in cash, instructions to pick up a package of envelopes that has Ginny traveling all over Europe, tracing the steps of her Aunt. But there are a few catches-no cell phones, no maps, and Ginny can only open one envelope at a time. after finishing the task of the previous one.
Through the letters, Ginny finds out what drove her Aunt away to Europe to pursue her art and about her last year of life. Through the adventures, Ginny learns about herself too, her strengths, forgiveness, and that she too is an interesting person-all while learning about life love, and the Aunt she never got to say goodbye to. My Reaction: Not my favorite book. The whole thing seemed kind of unbelievable, a young girl just packs up, and goes off to Europe. The dreamy playwright Ginny meets, wasn't very exciting, and not extremely likable. It was a adventurous book though, and I liked how Ginny learns more about the people and things around her-not to mention herself. There's also a bit of mystery as to what's going to be in the next envelope. All in all, a good book, but not great. Second book coming soon!
My Rating: 6.5/10
Enjoy the Summer,
