3.0 out of 5 stars A fresh start?
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2022

Lorraine has had her heart broken. Badly. Now she's headed off on a solo vacation to Australia, drawn by a cache of old articles and pictures she discovered after her grandmother passed away. She's barely able to function for her obsession over her lost love, and the years wasted on that relationship, and even a trip halfway across the world is small solace, at least to start. But then Lorraine meets people - Luigi, who thinks himself in love with her, Sheila who might be the link between her past and her future, and she discovers the magic of Australia and the possibilities that await her if she can move on.

It's a short read, easy to follow and with likeable and realistic characters. Their interactions are a bit awkward and Lorraine never really becomes am independent woman - it feels like she's just seeking out new people to lean on. I would have liked to feel her standing on her own more. Also I think more emphasis should have been put on getting answers about her grandmother's past, that was big in the beginning but lost steam in favor of romance and other developments.

Good story. Descriptive narrative pulls the reader in. Main character is well fleshed out, you care about her. Not happy with the ending. It was as if the story just stopped, not as if it was finished.

Not my most favorite read. Lorraine has been left for another women by her young boyfriend. So shes goes Down Under to try and get rid of her broken heart and find herself. She seem to enjoy her traveling and I guess she returns to NY with a new job and supposedly a new start in life. It was a boreing read for me, but might be a wonderful read to someone else!

Lorraine is trying to get over the loss of her ex to another woman by going on vacation. Heart broken she is traveling through Australia where she meets Luigi a professor. The two are smitten with each other and through this relationship Lorraine finds love again in this country that is filled with history of the Aborigines and we can't forget the great barrier reef! This was a wonderful story to lose yourself in.

May contain spoilers....

Entertaining story. The ending was satisfying but unexpected. I thought I had picked up on some foreshadowing and was expecting other occurrences.

While I wasn’t disappointed with the story line, some details seemed like they were leading in one direction and didn’t get as thoroughly explored or didn’t play out as I expected.

Still, it was an enjoyable read and a nice vacation read.

Too many descriptions, no ending at all, and I thought if it mentioned her ex, Sean, one more time I would scream! I think I skipped more of this than I actually read. Wish I hadn't wasted my time reading it.

The story was just OK. Nothing earth shattering in her transformation. She did become more independent from her trip but just an ok story.
