Publisher's Summary

In this captivating novel, an erupting Icelandic volcano grounds all flights in and out of Europe, forcing four vacationing Americans to reckon with the problems they'd hoped to leave behind in Barcelona.

Whitney and Will are a perfect couple by all appearances, their relationship rock-solid and their engagement soon to be announced. Before their impending nuptials, however, Whitney suggests a lighthearted experiment: Why not give each other three romantic "free passes" before getting married? Three opportunities to imagine other lives before returning with new appreciation for each other. On what's meant to be the last night of a romantic Barcelona vacation, they agree to regale one another with details of these harmless trysts. They grin and bear it and fall asleep feeling mostly satisfied and relieved to be firmly together again.

But then a volcano erupts overnight, spewing a cloud of ash across Europe and grounding all flights indefinitely. Trapped in Barcelona, their paths intertwine with a star basketball player, his future dashed by a crippling injury, and a foreign exchange student with a double life, about to return home and face reality.

Whitney and Will flirt, provoke, dance, and drink. Over the next three days, they will use and be used by their new friends, once again testing the boundaries of their relationship - but this time, can it survive?

What the critics say

"A funny, strange, propulsive novel, pleasurable from start to finish." (Joshua Henkin)

"From beginning to end, the reader walks with Whitney and Will along the precipice marking an edge they may or may not have crossed. With dry humor and involving dialogue, Riley steps boldly into territory other authors have only tentatively approached." (Enobong Tommelleo)

One of the worst books I’ve ever finished

Honestly one of the worst books I’ve ever finished. In fact I spent the whole time wondering if I should just stop reading. I think it was meant to be “sexy” but it was pointless and super annoying. I find it really hard to believe anyone published this crap.

The narrator is good

I finished the book but honestly it wasn’t one of my favorites it had some good parts but basically it didn’t have a story. But…I really enjoyed listening to the narrator!

Don't waste your time

This book had a stupid plot and unlikable characters. The reader was okay and the descriptions of Barcelona were interesting.
