Off the Map

This is the third book in the Beck Sisters series but worked very well as a stand-alone book for me. So happy for that as I did not know this book was part of a series. Again, I think publishers would let readers know this when offering books, but I digress……

Carla Black is a world traveler. She doesn’t believe in relationships and lives for the moment. When she needs money, she works as a bartender. She seems carefree but her father, Biggie has dementia, and she is dealing with this internally. When she heads to Dublin for her best friend’s wedding, she meets the groom’s brother, Eamon Sullivan cartographer who creates digital maps.

They instantly hit it off and soon are off on an adventure with them some exploring on the way to wedding venture. It’s a journey that both are on, learning more about each other along the way.

I listened to the audiobook and enjoyed the narration. This added to my enjoyment of the book. I found this to be a nicely paced book. It was escapism reading/listening to me. I enjoyed the story and appreciated how the author dealt with Biggie’s cognitive impairment. I shed a few tears along the way.

Overall, this was an enjoyable book that had me both smiling and shedding tears.

Thank you to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
