Girl Abroad follows nineteen year old Abbey who is the daughter of a famous musician and tired of being in his shadow, she sets out to have her own adventures as an exchange student for the next year at a university in London. But she doesn't have the easiest start to her trip when she discovers she won't being living in with three other female roommates but rather three guys. During her time in London, Abbey is caught between a love triangle with two potential bachelors, one who happens to be rugby playing housemate and the other, a bass guitarist who just happens to have a girlfriend.  

Despite this book having a love triangle, I really enjoyed this book, especially the plot that centred around the painting, all the mystery surrounding it and I loved how it paralleled Abbey's own life and struggles. I also loved the relationships in the book, especially with Lee, Cece, Jamie and other side characters. The found family dynamic is well written within in this book. 

However I do feel like it read more of a Young Adult contemporary rather than a New Adult romance, if it wasn't for the spice then I would've easily mistaken it as Young Adult. While this isn't necessary a bad thing, we all know that Elle Kennedy can write New Adult quite well, just look at the Off Campus Series. 

If you're a fan of any other Elle Kennedy's books or looking for a quick lighthearted romance then you'll definitely love this. I would highly recommend. 

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
