release date: April 19th from Knopf
blurb: Five teens backpack through Europe to fulfill the mysterious dying wish of their friend.
Jesse lives with his history professor dad in a house covered with postcards of images of the Madonna from all over the world. They’re gotten used to this life: two motherless dudes living among thousands of Madonnas. But Jesse has a heart condition that will ultimately cut his life tragically short. Before he dies, he arranges a mysterious trip to Europe for his three cousins, his best friend, and his girlfriend to take after he passes away. It’s a trip that will forever change the lives of these young teens and one that will help them come to terms with Jesse’s death.

First things to know about me. I love books and I love traveling. When you do something so wonderfully brilliant as put them together, I am going to love you forever. I think that this book sounds absolutely incredible, heartwarming as well as heartbreaking, and with the backdrop of Europe, it is super high on my TBR for April.
what did you pick this week?

:) thanks emily!
DeleteThis sounds like a fun read, as well as a heartbreaking one.... I wish the part about Jesse dying weren't part of this book. The cover sure makes it look like this trip will be exciting and full of funny moments, so it would make a great summer read, in spite of the sad part. (It would be even better if there were a last-minute miracle for Jesse....) Nice pick!!
