Cover with a Dog

A few days after my birthday last month I left on an amazing journey with two of my best friends. We traveled far far away and spent two weeks in a car with each other without causing any harm. Two weeks of laughter was just the stress relief I needed. This is also partly why entries are a bit behind. When I first packed my suitcase I had 18 books with me (yes 18!). Then I narrowed it down to 11 (only so I could take more shoes!). Final count was 6 (although I didn't have a carry on so it could have been less and I was not to know, thanks C!) My mom (silly sometimes) assumed I would need some reading for my trip so she was kind enough to buy my a book for my birthday. I'm fairly certain she didn't mean to pick up a borderline romance novel such as Stay by Allie Larkin, but it had a dog on the cover and it was blue so I'm fairly certain it was entirely judging a book by its cover.

Flash forward to plane ride one (before all that driving we had to fly far away) silly me didn't bother to get a book out of the shared carry on. What was I thinking? By flight two (though I mostly slept on flight one since it was much too early) I was craving a book in a serious way. I was in the middle so I asked one of my awesome travel partners to go grab a book out of the carry on for me and when asked which one I said ANY! probably a bit too harshly. Stay is what what was returned to me.

Though it was a bit too borderline romance novel for me (nothing against them, just not my cup of tea), it was the perfect plane/vacation book. A cute love story with a dog that plays match maker. It also featured a friends wedding, which was the main reason for our trip. The story was predictable and very cutesy but definitely a relaxing light read which is the perfect way to start a vacation!
