This book was meh. I wanted to give up on it fairly soon but, according to Goodreads reviews it is got really high ratings. It was lost on me.
Victoria, recently divorced, accompanies Mariah, a former Olympic skier recovering from a severe injury and trauma, on a trip to London, Paris, Morocco and Infia to research a book on cafés that Mariah's mom was working on. Henry, a photographer, joins them along the way. It had all the makings of an intriguing story, yet it felt rather insipid and unfocused.
I also struggled to connect with Victoria. Her questionable choices and affairs (including with two married men) made her difficult to root for. On top of that, the author seemed to try weaving in too many threads and themes, which never fully came together.
Expected more.
