Wanderlove by Kristen Hubbard

 Wanderlove By  Kristen Hubbard.


 Wanderlove  is the story of   Bria, an artist who has just graduated  from high school and to take her  mind  off some things, decides to go on  guided tour through Central  America.  When she  gets there, it turns out  all the people  who are attending the tour  are old and not  at all what she imagined for her vacation. When she meets    two backpackers, Rowan and Starling she decided to  ditch her tour and go with them.

 Wanderlove was an amazing read,  I loved it so   much.  Bria was a great character, her fears were relatable, she was strong and an amazing artist. I loved seeing her progression throughout the story,  how she starts off as  a girl with no knowledge  of Central America or travel to  becoming this  wonderful backpacker.

 Rowan was   another great character, he had so many flaws and his past was so murky but he was still a   strong character that everybody could related to

 I do find that there wasn't enough focus on Starling,  she left us  very early in the book and didn't  return until the very end but the  times I did see her, I  really liked her. I really wish we  could have  known a little bit more  about her but I was satisfied with what I got.

 Another thing I really liked about this book was the setting,  Wanderlove is set all across  Central America, and  reading about Bria going to these  places made me want to go to. The description of the places, of the  food   and of the culture was  great and it made me feel like  I was there.

 Kristen Hubbard's writing  style was beautiful, her  imagery  was stunning. At times I felt like it was a little bit over the top but for the most part I loved it so much.


 Overall, I loved this book and I highly  recommend  it to anyone who likes book about travelling  and finding yourself. I gave it a  5/5 stars  on Goodreads
