The main character of this book is definitely someone who says “BarTHelona” when talking about their vacation to Spain and, therefore, it was hard to root for her as a heroine. The premise of the book was fun, and there were certainly some funny moments, but overall it felt predictable and a little cringey.

The writing style was not for me, and the main character is an annoying mess. (It might have been fine except the title kept reminding me of the much better romance, Sabrina.)

"There's no music," I said.
"There's always music when you're next to me," he countered. 

Hold my croissant, this book was just such a cute and fluffy read 😍😍 I loved following Chelsea as she made her trek across Ireland, France and Italy to find herself and fall in love. This gave me all the European summer vibes and also kinda gave off Mamma Mia vibes too (did anyone else think the same reading this book? 🤔). 

My heart was so full reading the dancing on top of Eiffel Tower scene, and let's not forget the man travelled all the way back to Italy for Chelsea 🥺 oh gosh, this was just such a sweet book with a very wholesome ending!

[Audiobook] 
2,5 stars

The beginning was okay. England was boring until the plottwist happened. Paris was my fave but that was the peak of the entire book in my opinion. 
The ending was quite boring and underwhelming. If the wedding didn’t happen I would have given a 2. Shelly and dad are honestly the best couple in this entire book PERIOD.
