Sometimes, by happenstance, you pick up a book that so perfectly fits your mood in the moment you can't help but love it. This book was one that certainly won't be loved by all, but was just what I needed.
Against his parents better judgement, Scott Stoddard is sailing aboard the SS United States to Geneva to study International Business at the country's most reputable graduate school. His parents finance this endeavor with the understanding that Scott will return to the United States upon graduation to become a lawyer, following in his father's footsteps. Goals, plans and drive are important to the Stoddards, but when Scott sees a captivating European aboard his ship his plans begin to take a backseat.
A classic novel about the underdog going for the girl. Cliché, but captivating. Simple, yet so detailed. This book captured my attention quickly and held on through the society parties, lovers quarrels and surprises.
