13 Little Blue Envelopes

13 Little Blue Envelopes - Maureen Johnson I liked this little YA read. It was quite refreshing in the midst of some other heavier books I am reading.17 year old Ginny gets a letter from her late aunt. Aunt Peg was always a little crazy, but nothing could be crazier than the packet of 13 letters and the "wild goose chase" of sorts that it takes Ginny on. She starts in London, and works her way all over Europe, following in Aunt Peg's footsteps - finding out more about her late aunt than she ever imagined, and even discovering things about herself. She runs into a variety of situations and people as she makes this mad dash across Europe. What destiny with the 13th letter bring her to?A little bit mystery, a little bit romance, lots of craziness - but no murders, guns, vampires or other paranormal story lines. Just a girl discovering life and herself through the love of another.Lite, quick and fun. Sadly, the first in a series...one small pitfall. I got this as a freebe for my ereader. Might still be free at BN or Amazon!
