Description
“Romantic and unforgettable.” —Nicholas Sparks
Two strangers take the road less traveled...
Heather Mulgrew’s world is already mapped out: she is going to travel abroad with her friends after college, come back to a great career in September, and head into a life where not much is left to chance. But that was before an encounter on an overnight train introduces her to Jack, a passionate adventurer who changes the course of her journey and her life.
Throwing Heather's careful itinerary to the wind, they follow Jack's grandfather's journal through post-World War II era Europe: Vienna, Budapest, Turkey—exotic places that serve only to heighten their feelings. As September looms, Jack urges Heather to stay with him, to keep traveling, to give in to the romance of their experience; Heather convinces him to return to the United States.
Jack has a secret that could change everything. And Heather’s world is about to be shaken to the core.
J.P. Monniger's The Map That Leads to You is a breathtaking novel about love, loss, and the best-laid plans that are meant to be broken.

I got totally caught up in this story. I read this book in one sitting. I had to find out what happened to Heather and Jack and how their story ended. The descriptions of the cities in Europe are beautifully written. I felt totally immersed in the scenery and in the lives of the characters. I would definitely recommend this book.

I received and ARC of this novel from Netgalley in exchange for my review. Oh boy! I cannot say enough good things about this novel! It is a fantastic story of love and new relationships, travel and adventure. I really don't want to say more so I don't reveal any spoilers, but this book is a must, must read!

This book touched me, right to my very soul. Oh, I struggled with it at first. I couldn't find my way - it was deep and symbolic. It had that insta-love, where you just know without a doubt, down to your very toes, that this person is your everything. That your soul sees theirs - but it happened too quickly, and I was rolling my eyes. What kept me going was the characters. I loved the interactions between our hero and heroine. I laughed out loud. I swooned. I was mesmerized by the way they related to each other and the easiness of their souls fitting together. Yet, there was something beneath the surface of the story. Some secret that was being foreshadowed. And I didn't want to go there. But, I hung on and powered through. And then, my heart was handed to me, and I wasn't sure I could recover or go on, just like our heroine. I had to know the answers, just like she did. And I got my answers, and I didn't like them one little bit. There is beauty and cruelty here - in the words, in the symbolism and in life.
