A review by bookingwithjanelle
The Art of Traveling Strangers by Zoe Disigny
emotional
hopeful
medium-paced
3.5
The book starts with a vivid introduction of our MC and how much her life has fallen apart which sets the tone right away. The reader is given bits and pieces throughout the beginning chapters of just how things went wrong for Claire and how she ended up on a flight across the Atlantic ocean with a stranger. The exploration of relationships, loss, and new connections are prevalent in this story & there were many moments where I could empathize but sometimes I felt disconnected from the characters.
To me, at times, it was a little slow and/or disjointed but that may have been exactly what the author was trying to portray of Claire’s mindset during this trip & the events leading up to it. One of the main highlights of this book that I enjoyed is all the history and facts about sights/art/locations in general throughout their stops in Europe. It felt like I was there with them seeing it all through the eyes of an art historian and of course, a fashionista
