Synopsis: When an unexpected
phone call derails a young woman's wedding plans, it sparks an epic
adventure around the modern-day Mediterranean.
Gianna Kostas
is on the cusp of a fairy-tale life. Sure, she's just lost her job, but
she's about to marry one of New York's most eligible bachelors. On her
way to taste wedding cakes, though, things go sideways. Shocking news
sends Gia off on a wild journey halfway around the world in pursuit of
her ailing--and nearly estranged--father.
In Athens, she learns
Dr. Kostas, a classics professor, is determined to retrace Odysseus's
famous voyage. This is a journey her father is in no condition to take
alone, so Gia faces a tough decision. When an unexpected job offer helps
seal the deal and quash the guilt Gia feels from her disapproving
groom-to-be, the journey is on. But as Gia adventures--and eats--her way
around the Mediterranean, she discovers that confronting epic storms
and ripped surfer dudes might be the easy part.
Along the way, as
she uncovers family secrets, finds heartbreak, and learns more about a
certain archaeologist with a mysterious past of his own, Gia discovers
that fairy-tale endings might be messy and complicated, but they can
happen anywhere. (Synopsis from Goodreads)
My Thoughts: I had a lot of fun reading this one. The synopsis really sucked me in, and the story didn't disappoint. I love a book with travel and adventure, and An Accidental Odyssey has just that.
I enjoyed Gia attempting to reconnect with her dad through this journey. He hasn't always been the best dad, but it was nice to see them form a relationship.
I really liked all the travel aspects, especially the food. It all sounded delicious.
By undertaking this journey, Gia really discovers a lot about herself. I really enjoyed seeing her journey.
I had a good time reading this book. It was just the reading escape I needed. Plus, I loved reading about a warm place while I'm here in December.
