Londres es la mejor ciudad de América by Laura Dave

klabenak's review against another edition

3.0

A somewhat pointless story about how everyone his secretly cheating on eachother because they’re too scared to leave what’s comfortable. Some good lines in there though like “you can’t finish what you were never meant to start”. If I had known the plot of this book before a read it, I would not have read it. But for what it was it was a fine journey.

This should have been really good, certainly from the synopsis anyway.

It just didn’t quite hit it for me, which is a real shame as I’ve loved some of her other work.

Plot kind of slow but held my interest with an intriguing question.

On the eve of her brother's wedding, Emmy takes her brother Josh on a road trip to determine if he wants to get married at all. They had always been close, but Emmy realizes that there's probably more to Josh than she thought. Meanwhile, she's dealing with the memories of her own failed engagement (don't worry. I'm not spoiling anything), and the remnants of her life, which she doesn't think are so bad, thank you very much.

But life-truths are realized, as they always are, and Emmy realizes that none of them is really who she thought they were. I really enjoyed her final epiphany because, GOD, that's me. So much. I really loved all most of the characters, especially Josh and his friend Berenger (sorry for spelling; I listened to the audiobook). I wish there was more Berenger. It was fun, and heartfelt, and I almost did cry at one point, which is what tipped my rating from a 4 to 4.5, which tipped it to a 5. It wasn't perfect. Probably not my favorite book I've ever read. But I liked it. A lot.
