Jennifer Coburn has always been terrified of dying young. It's the reason she drops everything during the summers on a quest to travel through Europe with her daughter, Katie, before it's too late. Even though her husband can't join them, even though she's nervous about the journey, and even though she's perfectly healthy, she spends three to four weeks per trip jamming Katie's mental photo album with memories. In this heartwarming generational love story, Jennifer reveals how their adventures helped relinquish her fear of dying-- for the sake of living.

Well, I feel a little bit split...
The idea of traveling around Europe with your daughter, to create memories that will be recorded in her memory in case you die young, is just simply great.
I really enjoyed the whole story. I loved the characters because they felt very real. I liked that in the midst of all the craziness of the trip there were some funny comments of Katie or some funny anecdotes. Also, I think that in some point of our lives we're all afraid to die young and be forgotten by our loved ones, so this book was an excelent way to discover how you can live a day at a time and enjoy every day.
But... -There is a small but- I would have liked to have more dialogues. At times, I wanted to know more of the story but I only knew it because of the character and not by the others. I wanted to have more participation from the others, but at certain points, I could only know what I thought the protagonist.
At times, I think that was good because there were some flash backs that were extremely interesting and hilarious.
I recommend this book for those who want to change their perspective about life and also for those who want to have a good reading time.
I won this book through GoodReads and I thank to the author for providing me this copy but this fact didn't influence the review.
