This was cute. A fun little adventure for a girl that wouldn't normally go on one.

I think that the whole story had big potential but the execution was a little bit messy. In some parts, the story was rushing a lot while in others it was too slow and became a little bit boring. But this doesn't mean that is not a good book which truly is. I hope the sequel will explain some things.

cute! i haven't traveled the world but fun to get a little taste through this light medium, awesome on 'today we travel to russia' in NYC, didn't understand the characters much

Surprisingly fun travel/adventure/finding yourself YA novel. It doesn't have a super happily ever after ending. The book jumps around a lot, but that works, strangely enough.

Really I'd like to give this 3 1/2 stars. It was a very cute story and just an all around fun read. If I got down to the nitty gritty of it then yes, there were some semi-serious flaws and holes in the plot. But if you're just looking for a fast read that'll take you on a fun journey this is the book.

this was a solid 3.7! it was fun, engrossing, and upbeat. they never spent too long dwelling on any certain thing/place. is the writing, character development, or common sense factor amazing? not really. but is it a fun book to get lost in for a couple hours, and something i'd definitely reread? yes :)

There is a second book that talk about the 13th envelope... Should follow up at some point.

Well this book wasn’t that bad, it was pretty great in fact. The reading was smooth and pleasing even though I would have liked more details in many chapters. We finish a chapter with Ginny in a country and in the next chapter she’s already in a different country doing her things but?? what happened?? Because of these kinds of lack, I felt lost sometimes. Otherwise, this book is worth reading if you want to travel with the protagonist and discover Europe!
