Girl Abroad is a bestselling book by Elle Kennedy that only came out this February. The novel follows Abbey Bly, a 19-year-old who jumps at the chance to study abroad in London and escape her beloved but overbearing father. However, when she arrives at her new flat, she quickly realizes there’s been a mixup. Her roommates are all boys. They’re charming, funny and attractive, but they’re also off-limits.

Soon, Abbey finds herself falling for two men she can’t have while getting caught up in a scandal with a noble family, thanks to her research for school. If Abbey is going to find love — and herself — she’ll have to decide which rules and hearts are worth breaking.
