The Map That Leads to You by J.P. Monninger
4.0
"To say we find love is a misuse of the word find. Love finds us, passes through us, continues. We cannot find it any more than we can find air or water; we cannot live without either thing any more than we can live without love." - The Map That Leads to You
For fans of Nicholas Sparks and Jill Santopolo, this heartbreaking novel will leave you feeling all the feels...and maybe searching for the tissues.
I don't think I can say anything new that hasn't already been said about The Map That Leads to You. It's been out for quite some time, and I'm just now getting to it. (Time to tackle all those back list books that have been sitting on my shelf for too long, ya know?)
I loved the beautiful settings in this story; they spoke to the part of me that loves to travel and sight-see. If you have wanderlust, this ones for you, because it will definitely transport you to Europe with descriptive details of smells and colors and the locals, not to mention all the monuments and historical sights that the main characters visit.
I loved the romance and the intrigue, however, this one is a bit longer than I think is necessary, which diminishes it's impact. I wanted to be left emotionally stunned and in need of a few days off from reading, much like Me Before You or The Notebook, but the length and extra plot prevented that from happening.
I probably would've given TMTLTY 4 stars, but when I started hoping the ending was near instead of wishing the story would never end, I decided to go with 3.5/5 stars.
