4.5

Such a sweet and frothy book- I could easily see this turning into a rom com movie on a cable network or streaming service. Shea has a funny and obsessive superstition about vintage (aka- used) engagement rings. When she's given one herself by her fiancée, she sets off on an adventure through Europe and the US to final the original owners. Along the way she learns a lot about herself, her deep seeded insecurities about life, and whether or not she's even with the right person.
As I said above, this is such a sweet book- it's easy to read and follow along, all of the characters are likable, and the ending is very satisfying. it doesn't have the emotional depth that other contemporary romance novels has, but I could see this being a great book for a vacation or even on a flight. 4.5 stars.
Thanks to NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book!
