Welcome to Jenuine Cupcakes! This is my stop on the Finding It Blog Tour!
Author: Cora Carmack
Publication: October 15, 2013
By: William Morrow
Genre: New Adult (Recommended for 18+)
Sometimes you have to lose yourself to find where you truly belong...
Most girls would kill to spend months traveling around Europe after college graduation with no responsibility, no parents, and no-limit credit cards. Kelsey Summers is no exception. She's having the time of her life . . . or that's what she keeps telling herself.
It's a lonely business trying to find out who you are, especially when you're afraid you won't like what you discover. No amount of drinking or dancing can chase away Kelsey's loneliness, but maybe Jackson Hunt can. After a few chance meetings, he convinces her to take a journey of adventure instead of alcohol. With each new city and experience, Kelsey's mind becomes a little clearer and her heart a little less hers. Jackson helps her unravel her own dreams and desires. But the more she learns about herself, the more Kelsey realizes how little she knows about Jackson.

My Thoughts
What I Liked: I have enjoyed all of the books in this series and was excited to read this one. As always, Cora Carmack gives us a well written story that's entertaining and characters who are easily relateable. She isn't afraid to tackle the tough issues either, but manages to do it with humor and grace.
I think Jackson Hunt may be my new favorite Cora Carmack guy. (Don't be mad Cade.) He's tall, dark and all kinds of abilicious, and I liked that he doesn't let Kelsey settle for the life she's been living. But what sealed the deal for me was how he expresses himself to her and the way he goes about doing that. And no, I'm not talking about the smexy stuff although there is plenty of that too. ;)
What Left Me Wanting More: Kelsey
was a difficult character for me to like. (This is a good thing because
it means I felt something. There's nothing worse as a reader than to
feel indifferent towards a character.) I understood why she made the
choices she did even if I didn't agree with them, and I think I would've
connected with her more if she had gone to Europe on her own dime and
not her Dad's. However, I was tossing up a high five for her at the end!
The scenery in this story makes me wish I could spend a few months visiting them all!
Final Verdict: Great addition to the Losing It series!

Cora Carmack Bio:
Cora Carmack is a
twenty-something writer who likes to write about twenty-something characters.
She's done a multitude of things in her life-- boring jobs (like working
retail), Fun jobs (like working in a theatre), stressful jobs (like teaching),
and dream jobs (like writing). She enjoys placing her characters in the most
awkward situations possible, and then trying to help them get a boyfriend out
of it. Awkward people need love, too. Her first book, LOSING IT, is a New York
Times and USA Today bestseller.
