Description

She came to London to escape her father’s shadow. Falling for her roommates was never part of the plan.

From New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy comes a witty, emotionally charged new adult romance about finding yourself—and love—in the most unexpected places.

Nineteen-year-old Abbey Bly is ready to leave behind her rock-star dad’s overbearing rules and finally start living her own life. Studying abroad in London feels like freedom…until she walks into her new flat and meets her unexpected roommates, a sexy rugby player and a broody musician.

With a strict no-fraternizing rule, two dangerously charming guys, and a centuries-old scandal tangled into her school research, Abbey’s year abroad quickly spirals into a whirlwind of secrets, sizzling chemistry, and choices that could change everything.

Set against the dreamy backdrop of London, Girl Abroad delivers slow-burn romance, forbidden longing, and the ache of growing into the person you’re meant to be. Elle Kennedy’s trademark blend of heat, heart, and humor makes this a standout read for fans of college romance and coming-of-age stories.

Reviews

Love triangle on repeat

By Kayle9
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.
