Book Review: I See London, I See France by Sarah Mlynowski
I'll be reviewing Changes in Latitudes by Jen Malone, which was a fun beach read set aboard a sailboat. I'll also sharing my thoughts on my first audio book, Into the Wilderness by Sara Donati. Everyone said that it was a great historical read and perfect for Outlander fans. Welp. I finished listening to it and it took FOREVER. It ended up being just ok for me. More on that later! I'll also be sharing the last few beach reads that I want to read in August (say it isn't so?!?!) and another Friday Five with a fun giveaway.

Thanks, Jenea. I really like the cover, too. Thanks for dropping by.
DeleteChanges in Latitudes looks like a fun summer book.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I saw your review of I see London, I See France as I was under the impression it was for younger Ya- didn't realize it was college- aged protags. Good to know.
I know, right? It was definitely a fun read, especially since they are sailing to Mexico. Also, the characters for I See London are definitely college age, which made it feel more like a NA or at least a YA for mature readers. Thanks for visiting, Greg.
DeleteI've heard people say Into the Wilderness was a good readalike for Outlander but I've also seen other disappointed reviews from readers who didn't agree. I might actually own that. Once upon a time I was eagerly looking for more books like Outlander. I think Susanna Kearsley's books might be a better match for Outlander fans but nothing comes quite close to it. I should reread it sometime. Still need to catch up on that series!
ReplyDeleteI liked Changes in Latitudes though her attitude and bratty behavior got to me at times. I had to remind myself that I behaved the same way as a teen :)
Can't wait to hear what you think of the Lauren Willig book. I usually enjoy her books.
Hope you have a great week!
I agree about Susanna Kearsley. I definitely enjoyed her novels more than Into the Wilderness. I think it's a solid historical read, but nothing as compelling as Outlander. Also, I agree about the MC's behavior in Changes in Latitudes. I also had to remind myself she was dealing with a divorce and her family on close quarters on a sailboat. I am sure I would have been the same way as a teenager. Haha. Thanks for visiting, Christina!
