Lena and Aubrey arrive separately at the funeral of Charlie Price, who has just died in a tragic plane explosion. They each think they are his only girlfriend, and they are both wrong. Impulsive Lena and secretive Aubrey decide to join forces to learn all of Charlie's secrets. One of them doesn't believe that Charlie is really dead and one of them really hopes he is gone for good. Mostly, this is an entertaining and fast paced book that is easy to breeze through. Charlie is an enigma and his inserted narrative sections suggest he may have even been unhinged. I really enjoyed reading about the places Lena and Aubrey traveled; the London club scene, the streets of Mumbai and the seedy sections of Bangkok. The characters are interesting, if inconsistent, and I did want to see where this journey took them. The ending though, is bizarre. Is this meant to be the start of a series? It ended so abruptly that at first I check to make sure that I had the entire eBook and I think that I do. So... good plot idea and beautiful travel descriptions but not great execution. I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
