When she meets not one, but two, guys her passions barely stir. Chloe’s experience traveling alone in a Latin American country is easy and hassle-free. It’s true I shied away from my 17-year old protagonist Chloe thinking more than “he’s cute” and sharing an innocent kiss during her first romantic adventure.
