Book report: Our hearts were young and gay

This is only of my all time favorite summer reads. Our Hearts Were Young and Gay follows the hilarious adventures of two young women in the 1920’s on their first independent trip around Europe.

Anyone who has ever traveled with a close friend will love reading about Emily and Cornelia’s adventures. They get bed bugs, buy ridiculous fur coats in Paris, accidentally stay in a brothel and barely avoid quarantine in Germany. This book is so funny that I find myself laughing out loud even though I’ve read before many times. Our Hearts Were Young and Gay is no longer in print but you can easily buy used copies through Amazon or Powell’s.
