Wishful Wednesday [41]

Padahal hari ini banyak rencana di luar rumah. Tapi terpaksa batal gara-gara udara Bandung yang dingin dan sepaket dengan gerimis rintik-rintik. Enggak tega bawa Jav keluar rumah dengan kondisi kaya gini. Daripada bete karena terdampar di rumah, mending berandai-andai aja, buku apa yang saya incer untuk minggu ini. Sejak seminggu yang lalu, saya penasaran sama buku ini. Semoga bisa cepet kesampaian :)

Wanderlove
by Kirsten Hubbard
It all begins with a stupid question:
Are you a Global Vagabond?
No, but 18-year-old Bria Sandoval wants to be. In a quest for independence, her neglected art, and no-strings-attached hookups, she signs up for a guided tour of Central America—the wrong one. Middle-aged tourists with fanny packs are hardly the key to self-rediscovery. When Bria meets Rowan, devoted backpacker and dive instructor, and his outspokenly humanitarian sister Starling, she seizes the chance to ditch her group and join them off the beaten path.
Bria's a good girl trying to go bad. Rowan's a bad boy trying to stay good. As they travel across a panorama of Mayan villages, remote Belizean islands, and hostels plagued with jungle beasties, they discover what they've got in common: both seek to leave behind the old versions of themselves. And the secret to escaping the past, Rowan’s found, is to keep moving forward.
But Bria comes to realize she can't run forever, no matter what Rowan says. If she ever wants the courage to fall for someone worthwhile, she has to start looking back.
Kirsten Hubbard lends her artistry to this ultimate backpacker novel, weaving her drawings into the text. Her career as a travel writer and her experiences as a real-life vagabond backpacking Central America are deeply seeded in this inspiring story.
