Miss Adventures: Abroad from Bangkok to Bali by Ashley Percival
3.5
An enjoyable read with an endearing protagonist that left me rooting for her success.
Miss Adventures is a travel novel written in the first person by Polly Davis. She grew up entitled and unprepared for the real world in Toronto. After a failed work experience, she falls into the trap of a predator boss when she becomes an accountant's assistant. "Because I didn't feel like I was enough unless a man said I was enough."
Attempting to reset her life, Polly flees her workplace and travels to Southeast Asia on an extended travel tour. There are some fun travel descriptions scattered throughout the story. Although the travel part of the story is enjoyable, it is not the novel's main focus. The story focuses more on partying and flirting, which takes up a significant portion of the novel.
On the positive side, Polly becomes more mature throughout the story, and the book contains valuable travel wisdom. "One of the best parts of traveling is learning about other people. Take some time to talk to others to learn about their cultures. You'll find out so many wonderful t
