This book is more realistic then previous books I have written reviews for. It is definitely more romancy too. But I still loved it and it was nice to take a break from the books I usually read.

This novel is about a girl named Finley Sinclair. Two years ago she lost her brother, Will, and her relationship with God plummeted. Now, it’s senior year and she goes to Ireland for an exchange program. Ireland is where her brother went and felt the closest to God. She hopes to find God there too. She uses her brother’s travel journal as a guide to different tourist attractions throughout Ireland.

On the plane ride to Ireland she finds herself sitting next to Beckett Rush, the famous actor in a vampire movie series. She clearly informs him that she wants nothing to do with “his type” but he refuses to leave her alone. Finally, he convinces her to be his assistant and in exchange he’ll be her tour guide and ride around Ireland. But soon Finley becomes too stressed with everything she is juggling in her crazy life. She misses her brother, Will, more than ever; she can’t find the right ending to her addition piece for the violin; she is confused by her feelings for Beckett; and she still feels like God is giving her the silent treatment. In the end she finally finds that maybe the answers were there all along and she was just looking in all the wrong places.

I loved this book. It was so touching and inspiring. I loved how Jenny Jones tied the prologue to the epilogue. It was interesting, creative, and satisfying enough.
