Britt was a soccer star and depended on this talent for a scholarship to UCLA. Then she blew out her knee. Tests also revealed she had a condition that would prevent her from playing or paticipating in any contact sport/activity. Amazingly, her English teacher, who is wealthy, offers her and three other students a chance to win ten thousand dollars. The students would travel to England, participate in a literary scavenger hunt, and write journal entries about their experience. Britt is not a scholar but is competitive and needs that ten thousand dollars! Along the way she meets Luke, a British teen with wit, sensitivity and dimples. Love was not in her plans!
As I was reading this novel, I realized I do not like romance novels. A bit of romance woven into historical fiction, fantasy, and other genres is fine. .. but not novels that focus mostly on romance!
In the acknowledgements, the author gives the impression that she is a Christian.
Consideration/Warning: Descriptions of Britt and Luke "falling in love" and kissing are detailed. The novel is labeled "YA"-young adult.
