Four things my Geeky-Jock-of-a-Best-Friend Must Do In Europe  
by Jane Harrington

Brady is heading off to Europe with her mother for her coming of age trip, a family tradition.  Before she leaves, her best friend Delia writes four must-do things on Brady's hand in permanent ink.  Brady spends her entire Mediterranean cruise trying to overcome her insecurities, fulfill her friend's instructions, and wash off the ink.  This is a novel in letters--the letters Brady writes home to Delia reporting on her progress and adventures in her sardonic and ironic voice.  From being dragged around Pompeii, Barcelona, and Florence by her mother, to partying with fellow shipmates, Brady has a funny take on all that happens to her.  Pure fluff, Harrington's travel novel is a really quick read and a fun piece of escapism.     ~reviewed by Dail Sams
