Expats, read this one

Becky Bernstein touches upon a couple topics- the central of which is love and the search for it, and the second, falling in love with a foreign country and making it your home. Expat women, especially those in Germany, grab this book. Her feelings for Berlin and how her childhood in New York never once hinted at a a future in Europe are something that any woman sitting in an apartment from far the country of her birth will understand, much like her frustrations in attemtping to navigate relationships with foreign men. The writing is fresh, funny, and personable, but the backstory is not nearly as developed as I would've liked- give me more details of her devling into the brave new world she found. All that aside though, this is a hip, funny, and charming book.

The smile at readers face does stay until the last line.

The story is happening a million times a day to everyone. Everyone could be Kirsten, Janett, Mary or you. The fun of those knowing Berlin and New York is guaranteed. So jump in the live of Becky Bernstein and share her efforts of diet and finding her true love. How would you have acted?
