This Chick Read: Girl Abroad by Elle Kennedy

Abby Bly is off to study abroad in London. It’s her first time away from her retired rock star dad and she’s excited to meet her roommates and start making some memories instead of living vicariously through her dad’s. When she gets to London she finds that her roommates are all male and she knows she’ll have to hide that and all of her adventures from her overprotective dad or she’ll get pulled out of London and find herself back in Nashville. What she doesn’t count on is for a student project to get her invited to an event with royalty or for her to fall for two different guys. Abby is definitely living her life to the fullest!

I have recently discovered Elle Kennedy and fell in love with all of her hockey romance novels. When I read the synopsis for Girl Abroad it definitely sounded like this author was going to take me on a different journey. This story carried the heat of this author’s other romances, but there was also a kind of naiveté in Abby that gave this story a new adult feel. I also loved the mystery Abby was researching for her school project and the new avenue’s that research opened up. The story took me in all sorts of unexpected directions and I totally enjoyed the surprises.

Abby’s relationship with two different guys was a little bit of a surprise, but when I thought about the whole scenario, girl abroad in a foreign country with her first bout of independence, I thought why not? Why should there be limitations on our heroine? I actually really liked how those two relationships gave Abby the journey of self discovery that she needed. It sounded like her dad was way too involved with every element of her life and she needed to live a little!

If you like Elle Kennedy, I think you’ll like this novel. Her writing style is very consistent with what I’ve read previously it’s the change in setting that makes it feel so fresh and new.
