"In Tuscany and Rome, the girls encounter worldly men, explore
historical sights, and reassess their priorities...The story's
themes of escape, freedom, horse riding, and finding love should
have a strong pull for romance fans."
Booklist, May 1, 2013:
"McDaniel’s breathless saga takes readers from picturesque
Tennessee horse country to sun-washed Tuscan vineyards, all the
while establishing characters worth caring about. McDaniel fans
won’t want to miss this age-appropriate Eat, Pray, Love—well, it
has the eating and the love at least—and they’ll eagerly await the
follow-up, The Year of Chasing Dreams."
