About this ebook
The choices Casey Evers has made in her twenty-six years aren't exactly making her happy. In fact, her life is so on coursecollege, law school, boyfriend, job offerthat it's actually off. So, before she slides into fourteen-hour days at a Chicago law firm, she heads to Rome and Greece with her two best friends for one last hurrah. The thing is, her best friends haven't really been all that close to her since she started seeing John two years ago, she hasn't been all that close to John lately, and she's awfully partial to Mediterranean men .

Reviews for Burning the Map
5 ratings5 reviews
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5It was an easy read but the character seemed too absorbed with her future as a lawyer lawyer lawyer. It got annoying after a while because she kept repeating this, and frankly she seemed more enamoured than fearful. The ending with her owing credit bills and not caring but enjoying an extended holiday portrays the exact debt problems of America today.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The background of Italy and Greece was much more compelling than either the dialogue or the characters. A little preachy.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I adored this book, and I wanted it to be longer so badly - I was sad when I was finished! I could feel Greece on my skin, like I can in the fabulous Greece scenes in Mary Stewart's novels. Some parts of the characters were a bit one-dimensional, but I felt like they all got fleshed out well by the end, and the main character always felt real and flawed and human. Highly, highly recommended - Laura Caldwell is one of my favorite authors.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Enjoyable read. I would recomend this if your looking for something to take to the beach.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I think I would have enjoyed the book more if I had travelled less. She paints a nice, vivid picture of the exotic mediterranean, and the imagery is vivid, but I found it slightly fuzzy, as if it stopped one step short of being real. The story arc was pleasant though, and it was enjoyable enough a read.
