The Treasures We Seek is a beautiful story of coming back to yourself and being ok with your flaws, of learning to trust again, and of taking baby steps to build your confidence. Months after a rough breakup, Kenzi is still struggling to trust herself and others, and it’s showing up in her work. She needs constant affirmation that she’s doing a great job, even though she’s really talented. So her best friend suggests that she and Kenzi escape to Italy for three weeks for an archaeological adventure—yep, the kind where you dig in the dirt for literal treasures. Worlds away from the bustle of Pittsburgh, PA, in the town of Castel Gandolfo, Italy, Kenzi and Lauren breath in the sweet sting of fresh lemons and gentle oleander, sink their hands into the dirt where emperors and their courts lived and loved, and open their hearts to new friends from all over the world seeking a chance for an adventure.

Written with a style across between the calm brilliance of Barbara O’Neal and the snappy quirkiness of Christina Lauren, The Treasures We Seek is smart and funny, a delightful read that will have you not only journaling about your feelings but also grabbing all your girlfriends for a road trip.
