Matilda comes from a poor family in Arkansas. Her dream was to just get away from the family. She ended up on a bus to New York City. She was excited but also a little scared. Lucky for her she met Olivia. Olivia's story was similar to Mat's but she has an older sister already living in the city. Matilda hadn't planned too much. She knew she wanted to paint portraits and study in Paris. Olivia didn't have that much worked out. As the bus pulls into the terminal, both girls leave the bus and start on their next journey. The next journey? Finding Olivia's older sister's apartment. From there anything is possible. This book is one you'll get lost in quickly. In a good way. I enjoyed the well written story and the characters who were well defined. I can imagine two girls going through these situations. It brought back my first time in leaving the nest. The story is unique in many ways but I won't give too much away. I know I can't wait to read more by this author. She hooked me from the first paragraph and I know you'll enjoy it also. It's a light read that will really make you think. I found no issues with this one. I gave this one 5 cheers out of 5 because it really does happen to some people.
