I wrote this book! And drew the pictures.
I think this one sums up the story best:
wanderlove

I hope it brings you a little bit of travel transcendence.

If right now, at age 35, I had to choose my nostalgia book of all times, I'd choose Wanderlove.
It was almost physically painful to read.
A forewarning though: if you are not the adventurous type, are not and never were interested in traveling with a backpack, but on the contrary think it's highly dangerous and unhygienic and are not interested in the nuances of this bohemian life, this might not be the book for you.

Contemporary is nota genreI usually read. It’s not because I think any less of the genre, but few seem to hold my attention as well as something supernatural or science fiction related. What normally happens is that I’ll get distracted and find myself re-reading the same sentence or paragraph over and over again. That never happened with Wanderlove.

This book rips my heart out.

I imagine it's a very unlikely statement to make, especially if you read the book, and know how it ends... especially if you know me. But there are those stories that hit the bullseye, and in my case, it was this one.

Bria Sandoval is eighteen, and uncertain where to head in life. Not only has her ex made her lose her shot in an art school, she simply cannot draw. Her friends patronize her, and when they pull out of their planned vacation in Europe, she decides to stick it to them, and to escape the Cold War at home, by going on a trip to Guatemala. Things soon spirall out of control, and she realizes that running away won't fix things.

The reason why this book hit so close to home for me was because one year ago, I was in the exact same place as Bria... well, not in Guatemala, but I was facing a huge change. I was going off to learn something practical, not something I was passionate about. I was about to go into a new country, in a new city, leaving my friends and hobbies behind. Needless to say I was feeling miserable.

Wanderlove is a book about journeys. A lot of people will only see it as a tale of a summer romance, and yes, there is that too. It's what 13 Little Blue Envelopes should have been - a tale of a girl that goes off on a backpacking adventure, only Bria's troubles and adventures are a lot more real, thus making her a more relatable character than Ginny. On its own right, it's a wonderful romance story.

But to me, its merits go way beyond those of a holiday read simply because it spoke to me as a person. One year ago, I was uncertain, and angry, and resentful. Why can't I be passionate about useful things? Why can't I fall in love with what I study? I was frustrated, throughout summer and most of the academic year. I still am, in a way. I was angry at the world for not taking my passion seriously, and I was angry at myself for giving it up as easily as I did, which was why reading about Bria was a little like looking in a mirror for me.

And it's also why I find a great deal of comfort in the ending, and in the lessons learned. Wanderlove isn't just about finding love while trecking in Guatemala - it's about perspective, and realizing that life isn't, in fact, offering you an all-or-nothing deal. And sometimes, for some people, that's a nice thing to know.

You see, my low rating has nothing to do with the quality of the book, because, truth be told, I’m incapable of judging objectively “chick lit” or YA books. I usually avoid them like the plague and, when I happen to read one, my (often negative) feelings get in the way and any hint of impartiality is compromised.

Just to give you an idea of what kind of person I am, my favorite moment in the whole book is when this backpacker main character guy, Rowan, plays a prank on some dude looking for booze, weed and easy chicks, and directs him to an uninhabited island. What does this say about me? Maybe that I’m a little evil, for one. Maybe also that I didn’t like Bria and preferred to see her left out and watch other characters interact.

The story is told in first person point of view (sadly, Bria’s pow), which means you’re trapped in her 18 year old head, among a ton of love thoughts that are bouncing up and down incessantly from the beginning.

All this love crap deflated me pretty fast, but leaving Bria’s wet panties aside, there is something generally annoying about her, something I can’t put my finger on. It might have quite a lot to do with her being needy, whiny and insecure, dull and plain, weak and lacking charisma, uptight and annoyingly girly. There is absolutely nothing interesting about her! And it’s a girl who travels to Guatemala and Belize we’re talking about here! She’s so bland, I can’t even make fun of her. And whether you like someone or not, if you can’t make fun them, they don’t really deserve your attention. Bria gives the impression that she’s the kind of person who always plays by the rules, never crosses any lines, the perfect kid who finds herself in Guatemala and tries to cope, without changing much along the way. NO FUN.

I was so sick of Bria’s precious sacred art and of her reluctance to swim because she lost her virginity to her asshole ex-boyfriend on a beach, that in the end I felt exhausted. You know when you travel and you’re always tired? Well, there are two types of “tired”. The pleasant type, when you enjoyed your trip and you can’t wait to wake in the morning to face new experiences and the “can’t wait to get home” type when rest is a long awaited relief. For me, the book was a mostly bad trip and the ending was a relief.

Not a bad book if you’re a girl (preferably under 20) and think butterflies are cute.

At first glance, Wanderlove appears to be a light piece of escapist travel fiction, treading the well-worn paths of comedic culture shock, adventure and self-discovery common to backpacker lit.

Upon reading, however, it’s evident that Wanderlove is much more than this. It is a resonant and affecting story about healing and uncertainty - about looking backward in order to move forward. It’s about self-worth not being contingent upon the opinions and judgments of others, but rather upon ourselves,...more At first glance, Wanderlove appears to be a light piece of escapist travel fiction, treading the well-worn paths of comedic culture shock, adventure and self-discovery common to backpacker lit.

Upon reading, however, it’s evident that Wanderlove is much more than this. It is a resonant and affecting story about healing and uncertainty - about looking backward in order to move forward. It’s about self-worth not being contingent upon the opinions and judgments of others, but rather upon ourselves, and having the courage to embrace the strengths and flaws that make us who we are.

Wanderlove follows the physical and emotional journey of 18 year old Bria Sandoval: from California, doubt, and a damaged relationship with her art, to Central America, self-insight and strength.

It begins with a seemingly innocuous question: Are you a Global Vagabond?, and a disenchanting touchdown complete with middle-aged, Dean Koontz-novel toting, suitcase-wheeling tourists. Hardly the idyllic escape promised in the travel brochure photos. Enter charismatic/enigmatic backpackers Starling and Rowan, the doctrine of wanderlove, and Bria’s travels take a turn from tour bus to chicken bus, from check-box itinerary to spontaneity and chance.

It may be worth mentioning that my enjoyment of Wanderlove was very much tied up in the extent to which I personally related to the story, and to Bria as a character. (After all, I do hail from a country where travel in general, and backpacking specifically, is seen as somewhat of a rite of passage.) Besides simply flavouring my reading experience with a hint of nostalgia though, I felt connected with the story. I was invested in Bria emotionally. I wanted to see her grow and develop, how Hubbard would unwind the tangles of Bria’s complex relationships with her art, her family and friends, even herself.

There is an effortless, smooth quality to Hubbard’s writing, in both the authenticity of Bria’s voice and the beautifully captured descriptions of her travel experiences. The prose is clear and succinct, not overly embellished. Quotes, journal entries and flashbacks are used sparingly here, and don’t weigh down or distract from the narrative. Hubbard’s own travel experiences and writing come to the fore, and her passion for the subject is evident.

While the story is compulsively readable, this is largely a character driven novel. Plot and exotic locations aside, I felt that Hubbard’s strength really lay in her ability to create realistic characters, and to gradually reveal their depth and motivations. What may appear to have begun as backpacker caricatures become multi-dimensional characters with agency. There’s even a little sly subversion of the backpacker-chic stereotype, as Bria’s travels progress and her perspective begins to shift.

It would be remiss of me not to mention the artwork (drawn by the author) that appears throughout Wanderlove. There is a whimsical, hopeful quality to the drawings, and they play well into the book, particularly into Bria’s internal journey and backstory. (I read this as an e-galley, so I’m particularly interested to see the actual hardcopy ‘in the wild’, as I’m sure my kindle screen did not do full justice to the art.)

In addition to Bria’s arc and her relationships with the characters, Wanderlove also lightly touches on the different reasons people travel, and the impacts upon the local population and infrastructure. It’s not a subject deeply delved into, but some interesting insights are offered – particularly in the case of Rowan’s opinions and his personal set of beliefs.

Wanderlove offers more than a simple travel romance, or a series of vivid holiday snapshots. Rather, it examines what it is to recover, to reclaim, and ultimately, to look forward.

Last year, I was one of the first people to receive a Like Mandarin ARC, Kirsten’s debut. I fell for that book hard. Maybe because it was set near my town of Wyoming or that it was strictly about friendship—something I had been craving at that time.

So when I heard that Kirsten’s sophomore novel was about traveling, I was ecstatic. Ask any of my friends and family, and they’ll tell you that I want to travel. That I want to visit every historical place on this world, go to Antarctica (Madeleine L’Engle’s Troubling A Star is one of my favorite books)to dine with penguins, to go to Central America and speak their language (My Spanish? No bueno.), to go to Europe and backpack around every country I can.

According to Rowan, Starling, and Bria, I’m inflicted with Wanderlove. And I couldn’t be happier, even if the farthest I’ve traveled is to Baja, California. (I will go farther, I swear, I will!)

I love Kirsten Hubbard’s writing so much that I was never scared to begin Wanderlove and find out I didn’t like. I trusted Kirsten so much that I completely forgot that Wanderlove was in a different boat than Like Mandarin. All I could think about was: “Wanderlove’s on NetGalley and it’s read now omg omg omg. iPad, where are you?!”

Because, y’know, I’m always losing the iPad.

Bria Sandoval is someone I connect to—not the rotten relationship part, but the art part. The longing to get far away. The fact that she has Hispanic heritage (high five!) That she doesn’t know a lot of Spanish. It was so easy for me to read about her journey.

And Rowan? Omg, swoon. I freaking loved him. I believe I was thinking “Kiss him” after they met. Because kissing is awesome. And he’s cute, but a jerk; he has flaws, so he’s not perfect.

I really liked all the characters. Hubbard does an amazing job with making her characters 3D, and after finishing her books, I want to read it again because I miss the characters so bad.

Wanderlove is recommended. Everybody should read this. But a warning: you might be inflicted with wanderlove afterwards—I was! Still am. I want to go backpacking around central America.(less)

There needs to be a destination, even if it's way off in the haze of my unlived life. And in that life, I'd like to be an artist.

I have a headache from reading this book. I think this is one of the few times where I'm pleased, despite the pounding in my head.

I honestly didn't expect the impact this story would leave on me. Maybe a few iguanas, some rain forest talk, barracudas...But Hubbard managed to make this into something profound. She brought the eternal problem of discovering yourself to South America, and in the process, she made something beautiful.

To begin with, the main character, Bria, has incredible character development. Over the course of her stay in various places of the wilderness, she develops her own independence and confidence in fighting for what she loves. Of course, she is pretty pitiful in the beginning, but I found it adorable instead of irritating. She has a voice that's completely sincere. As a teenager, I can completely sympathize with the way she feels: torn between places. Her connection to her art reminded me of how much I love my own writing and the possessiveness that comes with our own personal creations. Also, I loved the little pieces that Hubbard would slip in that made Bria so much more believable. For example, there's this one part when she's trying to put on her summer dress in front of Rowan and two other girls and gets stuck before she can get it all the way on. It's stuff like that that makes me believe that the author really has gotten into the mindset of the characters she's writing and knows that it's not just pretty words that makes a story: it's voice. And I'm happy to say that Bria's is an especially enjoyable one to read.

Onto Rowan. Damn, does he sound like a delicious piece of man meat. Despite his ponytail. Ha. I loved that he had his own problems, and that his bad boy past hadn't turned him into some dark poetry-reciting maniac (It has happened in other books. I would know.). Throughout the story, he comes off as someone truly likable and sweet, with a big heart and secrets of his own that he won't share unless the right person comes along. I loved tracking how he changes and opens himself to Bria throughout the novel, and I'm thankful that Hubbard never made their love story easy. Caution: whenever Rowan and Bria seem to be getting along better, don't get your hopes up. Something, be it Scandinavian giants or seasickness, will probably mess it up. Those who've read this book know what I'm talking about. But it all comes down to the issue of trusting someone else, not just with your safety, but with who you really are. That's why those who are sick of insta-love and unrealistic characters should read this book. There are real discoveries of what it means to exist in this world, and what it takes to step out of the comfort zone and pursue dreams that are actually worthwhile.

Not only do we have a hilarious, lovable, and begrudging travel couple, we have the beautiful backdrop of South America and the Caribbean. After all this, I have a hankering to visit there. Although I would never backpack. It sounds brutal, and I like comfortable hotels. Yup. Anyway, the way Hubbard describes the seas and brilliant sunsets are so vivid, it makes me yearn to be able to experience it once in my life, too. The drawings that were included were a lovely addition, especially the last couple ones, which let me visualize what kinds of people Starling, Rowan, and Bria are. I'm actually considering buying this book, which is big, since I'm pretty stingy in buying books because I think I won't ever read them again.

In truth, I don't think any review I write can do this book justice. You'd have to read it to know why I love it so much. Just like Bria observes that people can't understand the beauty of travel unless they've done it themselves.

READ THIS BOOK. If you don't like it (which is doubtful), at the very least you won't have felt like you lost brain cells in the end.

In “Wanderlove” she lays bare a different kind of love and experience with the same insightful, personal brush.

Bria discovers the world of backpacking, a place the author clearly loves dearly, much the same way the majority of readers would experience it – as a novice. She asks the embarrassing questions, wears the wrong clothes, and generally feels like she sticks out like a sore thumb. Creating a character who enters this world accidentally and without any preparation helps us readers dip our toes in slowly too, and damn if I didn’t want to put the book down at least half a dozen times to book a plane ticket.

Yes, Kirsten’s feel for and descriptions of Central America are lovely and vibrant. I want to go there. I want to stuff clothes for 2 weeks in a bag and not talk to a soul except the ones beside me, to take pictures and learn history and breathe earnestness and beauty.

That is a wonderful side effect of “Wanderlove”, but it is not the book’s heart and soul.

Instead of the complex love between girlfriends (as with “Like Mandarin”) or even romantic love between a boy and a girl (which is present – and totally swoonworthy - in “Wanderlove”), the book is about figuring out how to love yourself. Bria is coming out of her first serious relationship, which while not outwardly abusive, left her a bruised shell of the girl she had been. She’s an artist, but somewhere along the way, she let him take that away from her too. She goes to Central America to do something, to prove to her ex that she doesn’t need him to be successful, but mostly to run away from all of the decisions she doesn’t want to face, all of the future realities that aren’t as rosy as she once believed they could be.

Bria pictures the trip as exciting, something out of a travel brochure, but what she finds is a bunch of middle-aged folks being herded from one place to another with no room for exploration, no place to expand and grow.
Then she meets Rowan and his sister Starling, experienced backpackers, wanderers, runners from pasts, who invite her along for a week and a half of unsupervised travel and freedom.

Along the road from Guatemala to Belize, Bria and Rowan get to know one another, discover that not talking about the past doesn’t make it go away, and yes, fall in love.

Bria is a fantastic character. We all hide things, ignore them and pretend they’ve gone away while instead they just fester, or believe that the only way to protect ourselves is not to care about anyone or anything ever again. What she learns is a lesson that it takes some people a lifetime to understand – that we can’t run from who we are, and embracing the pain and the beauty of our experiences is the only way to move forward. Rowan, a boy also searching for redemption, for the strength to be a better human being, for a place to call home, is the perfect compliment. Starling is a deeply developed secondary character. She’s so clear in my mind, so perfectly formed. I would read another volume with her in the leading role.

I adore this book. I’m sure I’ll read it again and again. Kirsten has knocked it out of the park with “Wanderlove,” which is even better than her debut and leaves me breathless in anticipation of what she’ll offer up next.

I anticipated that I'd like Wanderlove a lot for those reasons.

And hot damn, I was right. But I didn't quite anticipate what this book would do to me.

So our protagonist is Bria Sandoval. She just graduated from high school and just broke up with a controlling boyfriend who didn't deserve her at all and why the heck couldn't she see that, come on Bria, you're way too good for him and gahhhh.

I effing loved Bria. I don't say this often about YA protagonists. I've been known to get hives at any inkling of angst from a Too Stupid To Live heroine, which are all too common in this little book community. Bria is the oppose of TSTL. Even when she annoyed me, like in her memories of her idiot boyfriend, she wasn't being stupid. She was being real.

That's what I didn't anticipate about this book. How it would remind me of myself in so, so many different ways.

This book is about traveling. Backpacking in Central America, to be precise, which is not a place I've ever dreamed of going. Hot, sticky, tropical climates and hot, sticky, dirty backroad methods of travel are definitely not my thing. But it doesn't matter, because Wanderlove really did awaken wanderlove in me.

When I was fourteen, I got the chance to go to France with my French Immersion school. I leapt at the chance, got a job, and worked for a year to pay for the ten-day trip myself, no help from Mommy and Daddy. Five years ago this month, I went, had a fabulous time, and returned with my appetite whetted, ready to jet off again the next chance I got.

My family isn't big on traveling. We do road trips -- I've been all over most of my province squashed in a car with my brother and sister -- but I had never even been on a plane before my France trip. The chance for me to go somewhere else hasn't come yet, even five years later. Soon. I've scraping my pennies together to go to England, but then my car broke down and I had to buy a new one and some health-related stuff happened in my family and it's been one delay after another for the past year and it's looking like maybe I can go in September. It's feeling really far away, like it might never happen.

And that's what Wanderlove reminded me: that I want it so, so bad. I want to get out of here, go somewhere different, learn new things and see beauty. I was starting to forget that, in the wake of financial trouble and delays and things getting in my way. I had almost forgotten that the enormous desire to just go is all I really need. As long as I have that, I'll find a way.

So, yeah. My review of Wanderlove is actually a ramble about my own sad little life. Ah, well. That's the mark of a good book. I was too wrapped up in what it was making me feel and what it was giving to me that nothing else mattered. It's a great story. Great writing. Kirsten's illustrations are gorgeous (although I wish there were a lot more of them), and even though Central America never really appealed to me before, I keep finding myself Googling pictures of the locales in the book and sighing, thinking "maybe, someday."

In short, it's really good. You should read it. Escape inside it's pages and then work towards Bria's journey of discovery yourself, one day. (less)

This is the first book I have read 2 times in YEARS!!! Love it!!

Bria is the wonderful main character in Wanderlove by Kirsten Hubbard. I was already a fan or Kirsten after reading Like Mandarin last year and really liking it. I was so excited when I was lucky enough to get this book from NetGalley the same day they put it on there so I read it quite a while ago. Because of my pervasive procrastination, I did not write the review right away. Usually that is not a big deal because I generally reme...more

I was immediately hooked on this story after I read the first chapter. What I found most intriguing and what is sure to grab the attention of others is the idea of travel. There are lots of books that take place during vacation or in other countries, but something special that this book has is that it shows readers how to be independent travelers. After Bria first left her tour group I was a little worried for her so it was very cool to see how she learned the ways of backpacking.

Wanderlove is the type of book that makes you dream. I've always wanted to backpack. ALWAYS. And it was always something I intended to get around to eventually.

And it was always something I intended to get around to eventually. But I still haven't and am beginning to realize that it may never happen. The good news is I can read books like Wanderlove that make me yearn for a do-over, yet doesn't make me miserable with regret. This book is an enjoyable, happy reading experience.

This is the type of book I want to give to a teenager. Not because the characters are excellent role models or make all the right choices. I want to give them this book because I want them to learn to dream big dreams. Life isn't always about what your job is or how much money you make, it's about the little excursions and diversions along the way.

Wanderlove is not a perfect book. The main character took awhile to grow on me. She's a little meek and way too wrapped up in her ex-boyfriend for my liking. But here's the thing; Bria grows up over the course of the novel, not entirely and not unrealistically, but enough that I like her character development. The Bria at the end is smarter and more aware than the Bria at the end of the book. That's something I really like to see.

My favorite part of the books might be Bria's lists and travel tips. That's where the voice really shines and I find myself chuckling. Bria writes everything that she's too meek and bashful to say and her insights are sometimes deep and sometimes hilarious.

A lot of people are going to swoon over Rowan, the nice guy with a dark past, scuba instructor backpacking guy, it's just inevitable. He's a well-rounded character, believably non-perfect and surprisingly swoonworthy despite his questionable ponytail and occasional hygiene woes. (To be fair, all backpackers have hygiene problems)

This book is pleasant read, with enough depth that you'll find yourself thinking but not so heavy that you can't enjoy it poolside.(less)

*ARC Review*

Do you remember your first love?

Bria Sandoval is devastated when her boyfriend Toby dumps her at the end of their senior year and tells her she needs to move on with her life. The problem is Toby was her life and now she doesn’t know what to do, so she signs up for a tour of Central America just to get away and clear her head. Along the way she meets some pretty colorful characters like Starling and Rowan. They take Bria under their wing and show her how to travel like a “real” backp...more

Actual, full review: This review is scheduled to post on my blog on 2/29/12. It is here on Goodreads exclusively first. (Note: due to copy-and-paste, formatting and links have been lost.)

There are two types of flutters in your chest. The first type is when you read something sensual, something evocative and you know you should stop reading it, but you can't help it, so something quick bursts out among the fragments of seconds as you devour every single letter of every single word, savoring the strange inappropriateness of the scene. The second type is full on cardiac arrest. Where every part of you is shaking, fluttering so badly you don't even realize you're doing it until all of a second, you stop, and your heart just drops like a pebble; when you are a butterfly slowly flying away, wings straining against the pounding wind, and you can no longer ignore the fact that this--this feeling of complete fulfillment, complete satisfaction--has almost never happened before, and you are so desperate to feel it again you can't help but try and capture the wordless depiction into actual words.

Wanderlove is both, but especially the latter. I gave it everything, and it hurt me too much, made me ache, and at the end, I cried tears of relentless joy. I was so happy--I can't remember the last time a book made me this happy. I need something strong to grip on to, so that I can take a deep breath and tell myself to calm the heck down, because this review is so, so hard to write, and I'm so, so tired of running away and not looking back.

I was worried about this book at first. The whole synopsis of traveling and backpacking? Eh. Not really what I'm looking for. But... it's Kirsten Hubbard, a small part of me had whispered, and so, even as I dug through the first few chapters where we didn't know Bria very well, when she was still a stranger, I gave it a try.

I should have known that it would enchant me to the end of the world and shatter me all at once.

This book is about so much more than just traveling. It's about love, about trust, about running away and not running away. About staying still and not staying still. About watching the world spin around like a merry-go-round ride while you're standing in the middle, and as it sweeps you away into a land of endless confusion, you learn to eventually grab on to a horse and climb on, fighting your way through the hurdles of life. But, at it's heart, it's also a beautiful love story. There is no such concept as insta-love here. It is a fascinating and eternal and aching journey of learning that, yes, it's alright to fall back into someone else's arms, even after everything you've lost. It's okay to be afraid. It's okay to be angry. But you have to learn to discover the when, so that when the time comes, you won't miss it.

Sometimes, Wanderlove is magical. Sometimes, Wanderlove is heartbreaking. Kirsten Hubbard's books are so good they kill me.

But always, always, Wanderlove will find the piece of your heart that wandered away, and return it to you, so that finally, you are whole and new.(less)

Nothing has gone as planned for Bria. She isn’t going to the college of her dreams, her perfect boyfriend dumped her and nobody seems to notice she hasn’t drawn anything in months. She has lost all passion for life, and art, and now she needs a change.

When she sees a travel brochure for Central America, she jumps at the chance for a change-of-pace and scenery. An adventure may be just what Bria needs to recapture her passion, find her independence and move on from whatever has got her life stall...more

The characters, the intimacy in the sense of place, the immersion I felt and the need to not want to put it down (even in points where I absolutely had to). It's among my favorite YA (though I would also argue overall) reads of 2012. I would highly recommend this for those who love coming of age stories, stories with a rich immersion within a different culture, and identification with characters that take a life of their own inside the pages of the work.

The story revolves around 18-year-old Bria Sandoval, a young woman who wants nothing more than to reinvent herself after graduating from high school. Having abandoned her artistic ambitions, left behind her ex-boyfriend, and ultimately feeling that she needed a drastic change in her life, she decides to go backpacking in Central America. Sounds fun, right? Only when she arrives to meet with her tour group - it isn't the experience she expects. It isn't until Bria meets the charming Rowan and his outspoken sister Starling that she decides to go rogue and embark on her own tour of Central America with them.

Both Rowan and Bria share a common thread - a need to get away from their old lives and reinvent themselves. Rowan works as an assistant diving instructor, keeping himself grounded after leading a rather wild lifestyle. Bria wants to get more out of her shell and transcend her boundaries. Both of them learn a bit about each other in the process, but realize that if they both want to move forward, they have to find some way of coming to terms with their pasts. The way that Hubbard depicts Rowan and Bria's relationship with each other, as well as Bria's coming to terms with the life she left behind and the choices ahead of her is sooo good. I mean, wicked good. There's a healthy blend of exploring the places that Bria and Rowan travel (conducive to Hubbard's real life experiences), a blend of exploring the strengths, weaknesses and experiences of each character, and beautiful illustrations that pepper the book in places. "Wanderlove" appealed to me in so many ways, these aspects included.

I think I developed a fictional crush on Rowan as well. I have a very small list of fictional crushes compared to most, my saying that I crushed (hard) on Rowan is no understatement. The image of him in the book matched exactly the image I had in my head of him (he's so cute, funny, and sweet, I'm not even sorry.) But I digress. :)

It's refreshing to see when an author can shape and show characters in a realistic way that helps the reader identify with them as the events of the novel come to pass. Bria's a bit of a lost soul having to come to terms with pains in her past, and deciding where she wants to go with her future. Rowan is a bit in the same path, though he's shaping his own path to redeeming himself from missteps that he's had, and re-establishing trust in his own relationships. It's not an easy road, but Hubbard compliments it with a healthy dose of humor that makes it all the more charming to read/see in action.

The locations of the work are provided in stunning detail, one that appealed to my inner desire to travel internationally in the future. In the depictions that Hubbard provides through Bria's voice, I found myself traveling right along with her and being in awe of the sights, sounds and life within her travels. I really, really wish there were more stories as vivid as this in literature in general, because its fascinating to see how a culture is perceived as its experienced for any viewer, whether novice or experienced.

Overall, this is one of the few books where, after putting it down, I wanted to pick it right back up again and read it. It was that good, and I wouldn't hesitate to add this to my own reading collection and encourage others to do the same.

Overall score: 5/5

Note: I received this as an ARC from NetGalley, from the publisher Random House/Delacorte BFYR.(less)

God, my thoughts are all over the place. I feel like no matter what I write, I can't express how much I loved this book.Wanderlove was really good. Scratch that, it was excellent. It's the kind of book that keeps you glued till you finish it.

This may be irrelevant but a couple of months ago, I was looking for some pretty screen savers for my phone when I came across a beautiful pencil sketch of a girl leaping with a bunch of butterflies on her trail. I loved it so much that I immediately saved it as my screensaver for a long time. For some reason, when I came across the same picture in Wanderlove, it was a lovely surprise. Knowing that Hubbard drew it just made me like her and the book all the more.

Bria Sandoval has just graduated from high school and after her boyfriend breaks up with her, she decides to skip art school and take off on a trip to Guatemala with a tour group but things don't work out the way she planned. I don't know if it's Hubbard's writing or the plot itself but I found the book addictive. Hubbard's nailed Bria's emotion, they go perfect with her character - she's smart, witty and extremely talented. I could really relate to her thirst for an adventure. It's a phase most teenagers go through at some point of their lives I guess. I have to hand it to Hubbard for writing a book so compelling that at the end of it I felt like packing up my things and taking off.

Wanderlove was an amazing adventure! Although I was only reading about the places, I could picture everything and feel all the things that Bria did. It was wonderful to watch her grow into a stronger person over the span of her trip. I loved that the book didn't jump straight into the romance, we got more than enough time and words to get to know the characters - Bria, Rowan and Starling - and get attached to them. The writing style and the scenery were absolutely amazing! The illustrations were an additional (awesome) creative touch to the book.

This is one of the best YA contemporary books I've ever read and my new favorite! I strongly recommend it to not just teenagers but everyone who loves an adventure. I guarantee that you won't be able to put it down.(less)

As soon as I read the synopsis for Wanderlove I knew it was going to change me. I’ve always enjoyed traveling books and I have to say this is the best one I have ever read. Not only was it a traveling book where I felt like I was honestly there, but the love story behind it had me week in the knees. There is just so much more to this book than traveling and love though. It is about finding yourself when you thought you couldn’t be found, and learning that sometimes you have to face forward and use the past as a stepping stone to move on. A journey has never taken my breath away such as Wanderlove has, and I must tell you all to get ready for a ride that will leave you wondering if you have even found yourself yet.

Suffering from not only a terrible breakup but losing her art as well, Bria Sandoval has never felt more lost in life. But one brochure with one question [Are you a Global Vagabond?] changed her life forever. Fast forward a few plane rides and a less than thrilling touchdown that brought to light that instead of backpacking, Bria Sandoval was stuck with a tourist group. Not the ideal trip that she had in mind. But once Starling and Rowan enter the picture Bria’s trip takes a turn she never knew she was ready for. Trading a tour bus for the unknown of backpacking and learning just what the heck Wanderlove is, Bria is going on one trip she will never forget.

When it comes to books that you absolutely adore, the hardest thing to do is write a review, so I will try my best here. When I opened this book the first thing that hit me was the artwork that was done by the author. Seeing as that our MC Bria is a use to be artist it was very fitting and, pleasantly, it shows up more and more as our story goes on. The words were jumping off of the pages at me as I read and I can only thank that to the fact that the author of this book , Kirsten Hubbard, is a backpacker herself. That gave this book a huge advantage and felt so real I had to keep pinching my arm to make sure I wasn’t there myself. Artistic and amazing with her words Kirsten Hubbard had me hooked.

I wasn’t only enthralled with the scenery but with the cast as well. Bria was easy to connect to, as being at one point or another we have all been lost [physically or emotionally…] There were times I was reading and I just wanted to help shove her along and get her out of the box her ex put her in. There was so much in her wanting to be let out but Bria was scared of it. Like I said, connecting with Bria had never been easier. Oh, and then there was Starling and Rowan. A brother and sister pair has never made me laugh or enjoy myself like these two did. Starling never ceased to amaze me as the pages turned and Rowan…oh, what can I say about him?! Dreamy, thoughtfully and moving forward with his life, this man had my heart from the first time I saw his pony tail. Who wouldn’t fall for a tan backpacking god?

When all is said and done this book wrapped itself up perfectly. Squirming in my seat I couldn’t contain my emotions and I am pretty sure I let out a scream or two when I was finished. I know this is a standalone book but I have gotten so attached to these characters I would kill to just read what happened when everything was over… But I think ending on the note we did made it so much more amazing and inspiring than anything else. All I want to do with my life now is go backpacking and hope to find myself like Bria and Rowan found themselves. Kirsten Hubbard, you have infected me with a traveling bug I may never be able to get rid of, and I thank you for it. Don’t pass this one up folks, you just may want to get infected with the traveling bug too.

One of the first ever things I heard about this book was that it was like a teen version of Eat, Pray, Love. Now, I absolutely adored Eat, Pray, Love, so it's an obvious deduction that I was incredibly eager to get my hands on this book. (Thankfully, I got approved to read it on NetGalley soon after I requested it.) And to my absolute delight, I loved it!

Bria Sandoval is an interesting character, especially because she reminds me of myself in many ways. I could relate to her thirst for adventure, for something radically different and out of character. I completely understood her longing to return to her artistic habits, but feeling blocked or barred by her own fear, insecurity and misgivings. Plus, I thought it was really cool to watch as she sort of grew up during the course her adventures from an inexperienced, reluctant backpacker to someone who was travel-savvy, more sure of herself and eager to try things.

It is her art background and the back story that led up to the trip and to Bria's current frame of mind that fascinated me the most about her though. I really thought it gave us a bit of insight into the person she used to be, as well as allowing us better perspective on why Bria had decided to go to Central America in the first place. It gave a creative touch/twist to the tale and I really liked that.

Of course, apart from finding Bria relatable and interesting, I loved the fact that the book was all about traveling! I am afflicted with wanderlust - I absolutely adore going to new places and discovering new things for myself. Though Central America never crossed my mind (I'm more of a Europe and Asia kid), I now officially want to go after reading about the places in Wanderlove. Everything sounds so fascinating, rich with history and culture. And all the activities they were able to try out sound absolutely amazing!

During the course of Bria's journey, they end up veering off plan and into a completely different, unplanned scenario from time to time. And I loved that! It spoke to me of spontaneity, and I love being spontaneous when the occasion allows for it. Sometimes, the best moments are the ones that you DON'T plan - and this book definitely shows us that!

I will not be able to talk about Wanderlove without mentioning Starling and Rowan. Starling's fearless and generous personality is definitely something I can look up to. Rowan, on the other hand, has such a mysterious air for most of the novel. But when things finally fall into place and we learn the entire truth about him, well, it's easy to really love him!

Wanderlove was a lovely read, and one that I sincerely enjoyed. It's a great travel adventure, with a little bit of life, love and chasing your dreams and figuring out who you are all tossed in.

(And, one more thing, I LOVED the illustrations in the book. They were so wonderfully done and added a perfect creative aspect to it!)(less)
