I picked up this book because they did not have either of the other two books that I wanted available the day I got my library card (yay! :)) and because I've heard she is a really good young adult author and I have been wanting to read one of her books. I had already picked this one as the first of her books I wanted to read and luckily enough it was the only one of her books that was at my library.
13 Little Blue Envelopes is about a 17 year old girl, Ginny, whose Aunt has recently passed away. A few months later Ginny gets a letter from her aunt which contains 1000$ and instructions to buy a passport and ticket to London, but to stop in New York to pick up a package first. This package contains 12 more little blue envelopes that are to be opened sequentially after the task in the previous envelop is complete. Ginny is taken on an adventure across Europe as she moves out of her shell and meets many different people and learns more about herself and her aunt.
I really enjoyed this book. Having spent last year in France, and some of that time travelling though Europe, reading this book brought back many memories for me. Not only that it made me really want to travel more. But what I liked most about this book was that it was fun. It was a book that you didn't want to put down, and when you finished you just wanted to read it again. Even though at times it was very predictable I found it never took away from the story. I would definitely recommend this book.
4/5 stars because I loved it. (5/5 is reserved for books that I consider a must read)
