Book Review.

13 Little Blue Envelopes is the story of a teenage girl named Ginny who's aunt passes away unexpectedly. Ginny does not find out until months after her passing. Her very artistic aunt Peg spent 2 years traveling around Europe and having her own experiences. In return, aunt Peg left 13 little blue envelopes for Ginny. In each envelope contained a different task and lesson for Ginny to complete. For example, the first envelope had $1,000 to buy a passport and directions to a specific London flat. Once there she could open the next and so on. Ginny met many people along the way that summer and in the end it changed Ginny completely. When worst comes to worst and her backpack with her clothes and all the envelopes including the last envelope with the last task gets stolen, Ginny is at a hold and is forced to give up her journey and return home to New York.

The sequel, The Last Little Blue Envelope continues Ginny's story six months later around the Christmas holiday. Ginny receives an email from a mysterious man named Oliver who has found her backpack with most everything still inside of it. Ginny travels back to London to receive the letter. It contains the most important task yet: to collect different pieces of aunt Peg's art and put them in an auction and the money would belong to Ginny. But there is a catch: Oliver feels since Ginny would not have the letters back without him, he will not give her any of the letters or any or her belongings back until they find the last pieces together and then they split the profit from the auction 50/50. Ginny feels she is being blackmailed and forced into something that should be a personal matter. But if Ginny does not comply, Oliver will take back all the letters and disappear. It would all remain a mystery to Ginny. So this is the journey that Ginny takes to places both familiar and unfamiliar & uplifting and emotional.

This series is definitely worth the read with the creative mixture of tragedy, romance, drama and even more. I hope you consider reading and if you do, I hope you love it as much as I do! :)
