Ranked: #248 in ChickLit

Josie had it all sorted out. Everything that happened in her life, happened due to a strict plan. There was no space for the Unforeseen, especially not in her vocabulary. 

Working a fulfilling career in a day-care center, she'd been saving all her money the past few years for her future with Dominic. Their relationship was just as ordinary as her life, part and parcel of her daily routine. 

But when Dominic leaves her out of the blue, none of Josie's plans seem to work out anymore. The future that has been planned in the minutest details is suddenly replaced by a blank space. Realising just how dependent on Dominic she was, Josie finds herself in a position, she never wanted to be put in.

She becomes a stranger to herself, not knowing who she is or wants to be. Left without a single plan, a single dream for her future. Aimless and lost in her own life. 

Broken-hearted, Josie comes to the only decision that seems tolerable at this very moment: Escape. Escape from her life, escape from herself.

With only a suitcase and her savings, savings wasted on her lost love, Josie starts traveling around Europe. 

With the help of new friends and a charming man from England, Josie slowly rediscovers herself and the meaning of love.

I walk out my dorm building to the cafe. Just as I'm about to open the door I hear a person call out my name. I turn around to see the person jogging towards me. Hey that person kind of looks like Jase. Wait a minute... That is Jase. "Jase?!" I ask. "What the hell is wrong with you? Why would you just leave and not tell anyone?! And do you honestly think I wouldn't follow you?" Jase says. I don't answer I just stand there like an idiot with wide eyes and an open mouth. Shock takes over my body and I begin to feel sick. I left my hometown two days ago and traveled almost 8 states away. But standing right here in front of me is the person that I was running away from. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #54 in Chicklit **WON WATTIES RETRY AWARDS!!** *****Current Cover by @writersblock924***** *****Previous Cover by @LuminouslySkyler ***** *****Banner made by @writersblock924 :) Go check out @RoyalCourtAwards Graphic Shop to get your own banners and covers!!!***** First published March 27th, 2013

HIGHEST RANK #59 IN CHICKLIT. Ambrosia Sánchez's honeymoon should be spent laying on the silky sands of Barbados, drinking cocktails as she looks out on the tropical trees and crystal blue waters. Not, travelling around England in her father's 88' Beetle with her suddenly money conscious husband. Ambrosia is used to the finer things in life with her Chanel handbags and champagne breakfasts. Only her husband, Enzo, wants to show her you can have a good time without the expense. Ambrosia can think of nothing worse than being stuck on a farm with ankle biting sheep or camping outside because the B&B they booked have decided on a last minute revamp. But, Enzo is determined for them to enjoy themselves. Telling her, it's time for them to settle down and go back to his family life in the country. Determined to be a loyal wife to her new husband, Ambrosia embraces the change even if that means welcoming Enzo's nature-loving ex-Fiancée into their lives with open arms. Marriage isn't supposed to be easy, is it?
