Burning the Map by Laura Caldwell
4.0
Old review: I adored this book, and I wanted it to be longer so badly - I was sad when I was finished! I could feel Greece on my skin, like I can in the fabulous Greece scenes in Mary Stewart's novels. Some parts of the characters were a bit one-dimensional, but I felt like they all got fleshed out well by the end, and the main character always felt real and flawed and human. Highly, highly recommended - Laura Caldwell is one of my favorite authors.
Updated: I still enjoyed it but more from a “nostalgic books I loved” place than a “favorite novels of all time” place. Moving to 4 stars because it did really speak to me all those years ago and it was a fun book to re-read. Definitely some spoiled princess vibes from all 3 girls (they’re really not women yet) and it all ties up a bit simplistically - but for Red Dress Ink (I miss them!!) it’s just perfect.
