Synopsis
Our taxi bumps and jostles its way along Rome's cobbled streets, swerving around centuries-old buildings, narrowly missing women shopping at the outdoor markets. The scent that gusts through the open windows is old and heavy. Lindsey and Kat wrinkle their noses, but to me it's a sweet, familiar fragrance+bread and dust and wine and heat. The way Rome always smells in the summer.
I haven't been to Europe since my junior year in college, most of which I spent in Italy sodden with Chianti and wide-eyed over a bartender named Fernando, yet I've always considered Rome my second home after Chicago.

Reviews
The main reason that I gave this book four stars was that I could really relate to the main character's moral and personal dilemmas in dealing with her relationship. The author made me feel like she was writing about me. The reason that I didn't give it five stars, is that it was a little slow at times. Otherwise, a very good book. It left me wanting to jet off to Greece or Italy for a little while and see what happened. Not a bad feeling to get from a book.
I have spent quite a bit of time in Europe so the venue brought back memories. Other than that, the story was insepid and I jsut kept thinking of how the group of girls wasted the trip of a lifetime.
