Description
After two heartbreaking losses, Luna wants adventure. Something and somewhere very different from the affluent, sheltered home in California and Hawaii where she grew up. An adventure in which she can also make some difference. She travels to a foreign place where she gets more than she bargained for.
Lucien, a worldly, well-traveled young architect, finds a stranger’s journal at a café. He has qualms and pangs of guilt about reading it. But they don’t stop him. His decision to go on reading changes his life.
Months later, Luna and Lucien meet at a bookstore where Luna works and which Lucien frequents. Still hurting from her losses, Luna finds solace in Lucien’s company and his tales of world travel.
Inspired by Lucien, she goes to Cambodia. What she goes through in one of its rice-growing villages defies anything she could have imagined.
An epistolary tale of courage, love and loss, and the bonds that bring diverse people together.

This was an amazing book. It's the story of a young woman, Luna, who is looking for more in her life, she wants to get out and see the world live and experience more... Living between California and Hawaii with her grandmother we follow her as she begins an amazing journey into her future - but first, the meet-cute when Luna leaves her journal in a coffee shop and successful architect Lucien finds it, They eventually do meet in person. Lucien is in love, and along with Luna begins an exciting new future.
Evy Journey did an amazing job, her descriptive prose allows the reader to experience almost firsthand all of the sites, smells, the awe, and wonder of experiencing something new, as they travel the world. This is not a regular romance, it is a whirlwind trip, an adventure - the reader can almost feel breathless as they follow Luna and Lucien's journey. Excellent read. Give yourself a break and read this book, well worth your time. Be kind to yourself.
