Excellent and sweet story

Well worth the read and incredible touching story. It is motivational, sad, and funny wrapped into a delightful package.

A Well-Narrated Adventure

I liked the representation in this novel for Eastern Europeans! It explores grief and heartbreak in a young woman’s life who truly goes on the adventure of a lifetime. Narrated by Aliona Baranova is an absolute treat and was the perfect choice. I have ADHD and frequently get distracted and often abandon audiobooks - but this one had me hooked.
