6. An Italian Affair by Laura Fraser

I loved this book. It's a travel memoir written by a woman whose husband leaves her after only one year of marriage. Seeking to mend her broken heart she takes off for Italy, where she meets a married Frenchman. They have a casual affair over the next couple years that takes her to Milan, Morocco, London, the California coast, and more. She also talks about her trials and tribulations with her hometown dating scene and tries online dating, so it resonated with me.

In the end, it's a book about finding your true self and what really makes you happy after losing what you thought you always wanted - the "perfect" marriage. This book just happened to be laying on the desk when I started my new job. I had never heard of it, but it was a great book for me to read at this point in my life. 

My only complaint is that Fraser writes in the second-person, which I found a little off-putting at first. But as I got into the story, I noticed the repeated use of "you" less and less.
