A crossing of paths in Berlin, wine, and wifi leads to the two traveling together, and as they travel the two find some things they were looking for, and maybe something they weren’t…
REVIEW:
This story is told in first person and from the point-of-view of both main characters – chapter by chapter. I enjoy getting into more than one head while reading so the dual POV worked for me.
The plot is well written and true to the blurb it takes the reader on a trip through Berlin and the surrounding areas, with some insight into the history of the Berlin Wall, David Bowie, and some other interesting historical tidbits.
Christie, by her own admission, is a fat-chick. She’s also Asexual and Aromantic. There’s very little dialogue to explain what it means for her living life with no interest in a sexual or romantic relationship. I think if this book had been a little longer and explained more about being in a relationship that is asexual and aromantic I would have understood it better and gotten more out of the story.
Roslyn was a mixed bag for me. I don’t mind the f-word but her potty mouth started to grate on my nerves. And she complained so frequently about the cold I almost needed to put warm gloves on before picking up my kindle to continue reading.
Somehow her and Christie hit it off, and I’m pleased they formed such a close friendship, accepting each other for who they were. The road trip with Sam & Julie was fun but short-lived.
Well into the story, Roslyn drops in somewhere that she is bisexual. Her passing comment was so brief I almost got whiplash! I’ve since seen the story is tagged as bisexual, but readers should be aware there is no sex or romance in this story.
If the idea of a trip through Berlin via the eyes of Roslyn and Christie appeals to you, I’m sure you’ll enjoy their story.
