If your twenties are supposed to be the best years of your life, Bennet Taylor is failing miserably…with a big emphasis on the miserable. Where’s that zest she keeps hearing about? She’s a temp worker in New York City with no direction, no future, and no social life. And at the painful center of this listlessness is grief over the death of her first love.When Bennet runs into Henry Adams just hours after standing him up for a first date, she makes an alcohol-fueled confession: She’s not ready to date. In fact, it’s been years since she felt passion for something. Not even pottery, or organized sports—not anything. Rather than leaving her to ruminate, Henry jumps at the opportunity for adventure: Bennet needs to find a passion for life, and Henry will help her find it. Every Saturday, they’ll try something new in New York City. As friends, of course.As their “passion project” continues, the pair tackle everything from carpentry to tattooing to rappelling off skyscrapers, and Bennet feels her guarded exterior ebbing away. But as secrets surface, Bennet has to decide what she wants, and if she’s truly ready to move on.

Rezension von Kerstin GanglBennet versucht sich ein neues Leben in New York aufzubauen. Das gelingt ihr leider mehr schlecht als recht und sie kämpft sich mit Gelegenheitsjobs durch. So ganz gelingt es ihr nicht, Fuß in dieser Stadt zu fassen. Dann trifft sie Henry, der augenscheinlich immer gut gelaunt ist und in allem das Positive sieht. Er will Bennet helfen ihre Passion zu finden. Eine wundervolle, gefühlvolle Geschichte, die mir sehr nahe gegangen ist. Eine Geschichte über Trauer, Neuanfang und Leidenschaft. Darüber, seine Lebensfreude wieder zu finden und auch mal Neues auszuprobieren. Wie wichtig es ist, aus seiner Komfortzone rauszutreten und mutig zu sein. Wir begleiten Bennet auf ihrer Reise zu sich selbst. Eine Geschichte die mich tief berührt hat und noch immer nachklingt. Tolle Charaktere, die ich sehr schnell ins Herz geschlossen habe. Ein lockerer Schreibstil und einfach ein wundervolles Buch für schöne Lesestunden.
