Review:
This has been my favorite of the series so far! The pranks and chemistry between the FMC and MMC before the trip is amazing. The MMC is protective during the trip, despite their mutual dislike. Both the FMC and MMC grow in their own ways. The FMC becomes more confident in what she wants for her future and the MMC expands his horizons by travel and getting outside of his comfort zone.
Summary:
David enjoys his predictable life, and that does not include his neighbor and her cat. His brother bets him to do something unpredictable, and when he finds a brochure for a trip to hike to Machu Picchu, he takes it as a sign.
Isabella loves to travel and update her website with her travels. It's hard to balance while working at the family restaurant. Her parents don't understand her desire to travel and not take over the restaurant. Her next trip is to Peru, to discover part of her lineage.
When she arrives in Peru and meets up with her hiking group, she sees David, her neighbor. Their trip lasts a few days. They share a tent as, despite being nemesis, they know each other. One night, they share a kiss and realize that their antagonize was hiding something else. They keep their new relationship when they return home, but Isabella has been offered a sponsorship to travel all over the world. David and Isabella work through staying together and doing long distance or letting Isabella explore her passion without David holding her back.
