13 Little Blue Envelopes

Summary:
Inside little blue envelope 1 are $1,000 and instructions to buy a plane ticket

In envelope 2 are directions to a specific London flat.

The note in envelope 3 tells Ginny: Find a starving artist.

Because of envelope 4, Ginny and a playwright/thief/bloke-about-town called Keith go to Scotland together, with somewhat disastrous—though utterly romantic—results. But will she ever see him again?

Everything about Ginny will change this summer, and it’s all because of 13 little blue envelopes.

Review: I literally read this book a month ago…heh so this review is way over due. That being said I enjoyed Maureen Johnson’s 13 little blue envelopes. It was fun brain candy. It didn’t go quite as I had thought it would after I read the summary. I suppose that was a good thing.

Ginny was a very easily relatable character and pretty fleshed out. There isn’t much to say about this book. I liked it. It was an easy read. I don’t have any complaints over it. However, it was not anything e extraordinary.

Rating: 4/5

Reviews from the Pros:

“Equal parts poignant, funny and inspiring, with a delicious fairytale ending.”-Publisher’s weekly
