Synopsis from Goodreads: Three cities. Three seasons. One chance to find the life that fits.

Cassie settled down too young, marrying her first serious boyfriend. Now, ten years later, she is betrayed and broken. With her marriage in tatters and no career or home of her own, she needs to work out where she belongs in the world and who she really is.

So begins a year-long trial as Cassie leaves her sheltered life in rural Scotland to stay with each of her best friends in the most glamorous cities in the world: New York, Paris and London. Exchanging grouse moor and mousy hair for low-carb diets and high-end highlights, Cassie tries on each city for size as she attempts to track down the life she was supposed to have been leading, and with it, the man who was supposed to love her all along.

This book is by far one of my favorite chick-lit out there and let me tell you have read plenty of them. It is a quite long read and took me about 3 days to get it done, but it was totally worth the time.

The story shows the main character Cassie and her trips to 3 different cities and the way her entire life is transformed.

In so many occasions (and I mean MANY) there were times when I decided to bawl my eyes out at (you guessed it) 2 a.m. The story was definitely filled with a few suspense scenes which completely got me off guard and one amazing love story that I feel like everyone would be craving for.

Even though it was blatantly obvious who Cassie would end up with, the thrill of when that happened was surreal. Cassie’s three friends are people worth having in one’s life (and I am glad to have at least one of those in my life).

Overall, it is a great read for the romantic bone in a person.
