Romance Chick-Lit

In one single terrible day, predictable and organized Cassie Moore is let go from her job producing content for a website and comes home to find her fiancรฉ in bed with his lover in their shared apartment. Cassie is a woman with a plan, or "The Plan" as her best friend disparagingly refers to her well-organized life goals. Suddenly Cassie has no job, no fiancรฉ, no apartment, no plan. She checks herself into a nice hotel, gets very drunk and eventually passes out. She wakes up to hear messages from her friends and family -- they are alternately worried, or jealous, or furious, or ecstatic -- because Cassie has bought herself a six-month ticket to Buenos Aires.

Rather than back down, Cassie is determined to follow through with this new Plan. When she arrives in Buenos Aires, she's too tired and scared to explore. Once again she awakens to a nasty surprise -- an attractive Argentine man on her apartment doorstep and he's laughing at her. Mateo is just as sexy as he is arrogant, and Cassie avoids him when she isn't gazing longingly after him. No matter what, it's hard for Cassie to break from The Plan that makes her feel so satisfied and organized. She meets other expatriate, lovelorn singles at a bar and they form an unofficial Broken Hearts Club. She begins to blog her adventures when she needs to think through her emotions. Cassie's heart is soon being pulled in multiple directions -- sweet Dan has life planned as carefully as she does, but sexy Mateo has a certain appeal. Can a girl who's always lived by The Plan discover her spontaneous side?

This book is a fun first novel from an author I hope to see more from in the future. Between his brooding stares, her slap-stick errors in judgment and the electric sexual tension that flickers between them, Cassie and Mateo deliver many romantic and humorous moments. This book will appeal to those wishing to travel, to find themselves, to heal broken hearts and to find comfort in friendships. No book about Argentina would be complete without the respectful mention of "the disappeared" and the Madras who march every Thursday in the Plaza del Mayo in remembrance of their lost loved ones. Jessica Morrison deserves kudos for using her book to raise our awareness of this historical and political situation.

SUMMARY

28-year-old Cassie Moore has always played it safe, living life according to a meticulously organized Master Plan. But when she loses her Perfect Job and finds her fiancรฉ in bed with his ex on the same day, it's clear that The Plan has failed her. She awakens the next day from a drunken stupor to discover that she's booked herself on a six-month trip to Buenos Aires. She speaks not a word of Spanish, but she's already emailed the news to everyone she knows, so there's no turning back. Once in Buenos Aires, Cassie is reluctantly seduced by this glorious city. Her exuberant landlady introduces her to the handsome but haughty Mateo, a man Cassie clashes with right from the start. She soon befriends other lovelorn travelers and together, they start a "Brokenhearts Club" at a local bar, attracting a cast of characters that includes Dan, a sweet handsome man who lives as carefully and predictably as Cassie. Before long, Cassie's making a new plan: 1. Learn Spanish. 2. Stop obsessing about impossible Mateo and fall for perfect-on-paper Dan. But staying on track isn't so simple anymore and Cassie finally realizes that sometimes life--and love-- defies her best-laid plans.
