This book reminded me why I no longer read much chick lit – it is superficial and predictable. Cassie Moore loses her job in Seattle and the same day comes home and finds her partner in bed with his ex-girlfriend. After drowning her sorrows in alchohol she makes an impulsive decision to live in Buenos Aires for 6 months, despite speaking no Spanish and knowing nothing about Argentina. On arrival she spends quite a while feeling sorry for herself. After much cajoling from her lovely landlady she does finally get out and make some friends. She has 2 short lived relationships with an Argentinian and a man from New York before falling in love with her landlady’s handyman. It is an easy and undemanding read. The best thing about it is the title. It does give a flavour of the country and its culture. 6/10
