I haven't been to the West Coast and we have good friends who just relocated. We're also talking about a trip to Europe - either the Netherlands or Italy in two years - with my entire family (Hoping my parents will pay for where we stay). It's expensive so we need lots of time to plan and save. I know this sounds like I travel a lot. But really I haven't been anywhere in years - except for yearly trips to Georgia. And we may do none of these things. <br /><br />YES. I agree with everything you said. That's a great assessment of characters in the book. Did I sound like I was disagreeing with you in my review? Because I wasn't. Also, I LOVE when you can look back at the entirety of a story and really grab something from it. I felt like that with Monstrous Beauty too. It's a completely different book, but I think there are several things that come out when you can finally view it as a whole.

I...Have you decided where you want to travel next?<br /><br />I want to point out that Bria started out as a little neurotic. She started out lying to people on a plane and was then concerned about her jacket. Then she spends the first 50 pages or so thinking about what other people are thinking of her. Then meets Rowan and all of that changes. He teaches her more than how to travel. He teaches her how to live without regret and in the moment. Bria teaches Rowan that you do have to think about the future. They each bring themselves down a level and meet in the middle. Truly fantastic when you think about it. Because you don't realize it's happening until you're done reading.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03291640103239099631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-48135957440288056842012-08-21T20:44:36.995-04:002012-08-21T20:44:36.995-04:00Got it.

But I'm sure I can get it somehow...I could rent it through the computer. But it's DEFINITELY now on my list.

Up there in your post, I meant Wanderlove when I said I haven't read the book...but the movie is available on Netflix to watch instantly if you do Netflix. It's one of those I'll turn on sometimes when I can't find anything else I want to watch. So great!

It definitely is a trifecta of amazingness. I hope KH writes more like it!<br /><br />I agree. I love the art and travel combo in the book. And how clear it is that KH loves BOTH those things. It looks like she did all of the illustrations herself too, which is pretty cool. I love that you have an art history degree! That was one of my favorite subjects. <br /><br />And I also love that New Adult is gaining ground. I still like to pretend that I'm "college age" even though I'm definitely not anymore. But it's easier for me to go back and feel connected to that time - than high school, which I'd never want to revisit personally.

There are illustrations and quotes throughout...Yes. There are illustrations and quotes throughout the text from Bria's travel journal. It definitely gave the book a personal touch and made me feel even more immersed in the story - because I got to see her inner thoughts. Plus, some of her musings were pretty funny. I hope the kindle version has the images!<br /><br />I read this because I saw Heather's glowing review, and I'd have to concur. I haven't seen a lot of reviews on it so I'm not sure what the negative ones are about. I love that you have EVERY book I've ever mentioned. And you make me want to read all the books you review, so I'm glad I can return the favor. <br /><br />I haven't ever seen or read the Art of Travel. I did look it up and it sounds good. I'll have to check out the movie!Lauren @ Love is not a trianglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15388832613855107816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-49595037831726160692012-08-21T09:21:22.480-04:002012-08-21T09:21:22.480-04:00Yes!

And it's funny, because you are not the first person I have heard say that Wanderlove "spoke" to them, almost like it had been written just for them (myself included!) and isn't that the best praise for a book? Whether it's the travel, art or romance angle, it seems like many, many readers connected with Wanderlove and the character of Bria. I think K. Hubbard is one talented chick!<br /><br />I love that you included your picture from Belize! And I love that you hung out with art history students in Italy, because that's what I got my degree in! I think the art and travel aspects of Wanderlove are my favorite parts. I never backpacked across Central America but like you, this book made me long to relive my twenties:) It's an awesome example of why I LOVE New Adult reads!<br /><br />Great, great review, Lauren!

And before this, I've read some thoughts here and there and the reactions have been mixed. I actually have this one on my Kindle but I've been too slack to actually read it. Also, I read somewhere that there are illustrations in the print copy and I hope they show up on the Kindle version. <br /><br />This story reminds me of one of my favorite movies, The Art of Travel. I haven't read the book, so I may be off-base, but your description sounds a little similar. I am not a world traveler (YET) but I still love the idea Hubbard created here. Every time I read something on this one, I sort of tell myself I need to bump this one up on my TBR. Asheley T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03908795522290889438noreply@blogger.com
