A fun, easy, light read which I flew through quickly! Reminded me of living overseas in my late teens and how I used to describe all my overseas friends to my friends back home using their country of origin as a descriptor. My awesome Panamanian friend, my kooky Costa Rican friend, etc :). Great to revisit my late teens/early twenties in this Canadian adventure.

A fun and lighthearted look at some of the ups and downs of life – including love, friendship and our dreams – all told through the witty observations and experiences of a young adult outside of her comfort zone.

I read the book twice! The author painted a marvelous scene, very interesting group of young people and wonderful life experience. It's funny and heart moving. I look forward to more books written by such a talented writer.

Downhill was a fast read and a good story, I just couldn't put it down it drew me in.

Such an interesting perspective of life on the slopes but more importantly the fluid life of travel as a young adult. Very difficult to put down.

Really want to read the book but cannot find it for purchase anywhere in Canada. Inaccessible even on Amazon.
