I typically don't read YA fiction, but when a friend of mine recommended Love & Other Great Expectations by Becky Dean, I decided to give it a shot. I did not expect a witty, laugh-out-loud, fun romance. Even those who may not care for YA will enjoy this book.

After Britt Hanson finds out she can never play soccer again, she's presented with an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to win $100,000. All she has to do is accept a chaperoned, all expenses paid trip to England and complete a scavenger hunt based on literature.

She jumps into the hunt with both feet and on one of her stops meets a nerdy British guy named Luke. Since her chaperone is his cousin, she invites him to tag along with them. As they explore the UK and race against the other players, Britt is forced to face circumstances from her past and decide how she wants to live life ... and who she wants to live it with.

This book was squeaky clean and yet very entertaining! Britt made me laugh so much and Luke balanced her out. Seeing them together was fun. There were lots of British elements to the story and while the clues weren't that hard to follow, what happened at the various sites was interesting. Overall, it was a fun, lighthearted, quick read.

This book is best for teens and adults.
