📝 Mini Review:

Elle Kennedy completely stole my heart again with Girl Abroad. This book is pure comfort — a mix of humor, longing, and messy, beautiful emotion that left me grinning one moment and clutching my chest the next.

Abbey Bly’s journey to London is everything I love in a romance: independence, self-discovery, and those flutter-in-your-stomach moments that sneak up on you when you least expect them. The “oops, all-male roommates” setup instantly pulled me in, and the mix of forbidden chemistry, friendship, and complicated attraction kept me turning pages until 2 a.m.

Kennedy does what she does best — blending lighthearted banter with genuine vulnerability. The way Abbey navigates love, family expectations, and finding her voice made this book so much more than a study-abroad romance. It’s a story about stepping out of your comfort zone, following your heart, and realizing that the best kind of love helps you find yourself.

💭 What to Expect:

🇬🇧 London charm and cozy European vibes
🏠 Roommates who test every boundary
🎸 A musician, a rugby player, and one very confused heart
📚 Humor, angst, and swoon-worthy romance
💔 Real emotional growth wrapped in Elle Kennedy’s signature wit

💭 What I Didn’t Love:

– That it ended — I could’ve stayed in this flat forever.

🌙 Final Thoughts:

Girl Abroad is one of those rare books that feels like a hug and a heartbreak all at once. It’s smart, flirty, emotional, and full of that nostalgic “college-years magic.” Abbey’s story reminded me why I fell in love with Elle Kennedy’s writing in the first place.

☕ Coffee Pairing: London Fog Latte — warm, cozy, and perfectly romantic with every sip.

✨ Girl Abroad isn’t just a favorite — it’s a top-shelf, reread-on-rainy-days kind of book.

Until next time,
–E 💛
