The Last Blue Envelope by Maureen Johnson
Dec. 3rd, 2012 12:15 amThe Blurb On The Back:
Ginny Blackstone spent last summer traveling around Europe, following the tasks her aunt laid out in a series of letters before she died. When someone stole Ginny’s backpack – and the last little blue envelope inside – she resigned herself to never knowing how the adventure was supposed to end.
Now a mysterious boy has contacted Ginny from London, saying he’s found her bag. Finally she can finish what she started. But instead of ending her journey, the last letter starts a whole new one, and Ginny must hold on to her wits … and her heart. This time, there are no instructions.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Maureen Johnson’s sequel to 13 LITTLE BLUE ENVELOPES is a frothy, easy YA romance and you don’t have to read the first book to enjoy it. However, like many YA romances, the storyline is predictable and there are a number of mistakes within the British segments that irritated me. Long time readers of this blog will know that I’m not a romance fan, but on the strength of this I would be interested in checking out Johnson’s other books.
THE LAST LITTLE BLUE ENVELOPE was released in the UK on 10th May 2012. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the free copy of this book.
