Pure romance about a girl having a quarter life crisis- when Dani’s boyfriend Jace was cheating on her, she forwarded raunchy emails to the whole company. Jace got a slap on the wrist but Dani was let go. So with no job and no boyfriend, she got a break-up haircut and decided to move to Amsterdam. She struggles a bit at first with a basement apartment and a suspicious company to work for. But then she runs into her first real boyfriend Wouter, who came to LA as a foreign exchange student in high school. Turns out sparks are still there!
There is a lot to love about this novel, I really loved it. Dani was born a micro-preemie and has bad lung problems and also a port-wine birthmark all across her face. So life has not always been easy for her. And she has jumped around from job to job, fell bass ackwards into her major in college, then hence her field, and also picks up hobbies only to put them down when she isn’t a natural. Great chemistry and I will warn you, it will make you want to visit Amsterdam!
