Description

New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy brings her signature angst, drama, and humor to a new standalone romance. My Oxford Year meets We Met In December, Girl Abroad finds the daughter of a retired rock star studying abroad in London and entangled in scandal and romance.

When nineteen-year-old Abbey Bly gets the opportunity to study abroad for a year in London, it's the perfect chance to finally slip out from under the thumb of her beloved but overbearing retired rock star father. She’s ready to be free, to discover herself—but first off, to meet the girls she’s rooming with. That is, until she arrives at her gorgeous new flat to discover those roommates are actually all boys. Charming, funny, insufferably attractive boys. And off-limits, with a rule against fraternizing between housemates after unwanted drama with the previous girl.

Abbey has never considered herself a rulebreaker. But soon, she’s lying to her father about her living situation and falling for not one, but two men she can’t have: her rugby-player roommate and a broody musician with a girlfriend. Not to mention, her research for school has gotten her tangled in a deeply hidden scandal of a high nobility family, surrounding her in secrets on all sides.

If there’s any hope of Abbey finding love, answers, or a future in London, she’ll have to decide which rules—and hearts—might be worth breaking.

  • Love triangle on repeat

    A 20-year old sheltered daughter of a rock superstar moves to London for a year abroad. For her academic research project, she delves into the lives of a 1940s aristocratic family to solve a mystery involving a woman choosing between two brothers, all while trying to make her own choice between a calm and predictable rugby player and an exciting and adventurous musician. Quite honestly, the ending is both far too quick to resolution and unsatisfactory. Personally, I dislike the idea of a young woman finding her place in the world, out from the shadow of her father’s fame, by answering the question of “Who am I?” with who she wants to date. A person, regardless of gender, is more than who they choose as a bed partner. The premise and lead-up were good, but the ending lets the reader down if they’re looking for more than an angsty romance. For the fans of stories involving the British royal family, this story takes place in an alternative reality, so you’ll have to suspend disbelief for the brief references to fictional royals.
  • Good Storyline

    This book was so slow, it got good about 60% in. I really did the love triangle, the friendship.
