Ginny Blackstone thought that the biggest adventure of her life was behind her. She spent last summer traveling around Europe, following the tasks her aunt Peg laid out in a series of letters before she died. When someone stole Ginny's backpack—and the last little blue envelope inside—she resigned herself to never knowing how it was supposed to end. Months later, a mysterious boy contacts Ginny from London, saying he's found her bag. Finally, Ginny can finish what she started.

Average young adult story. This should be more of a fantasy novel. (In continuation with the first one) there's no way an 18y.o. girl would make it running around Europe. She does have people with her the whole time in this one, but still. I didn't like Oliver's character in the beginning and how she just went along with everything he wanted. She had absolutely no backbone after everything she went through the summer before. And then the way Keith's character acted was unbelievable (u lessI liked this book a lot more than Thirteen Blue Envelopes. I've read reviews saying that The Last Little Blue Envelope was less adventurous than its predecessor but I beg to disagree. Because while the first book felt like a flurry of one country after another, this one was more personal. And this time, there were no rules. I loved that this book focused on the characters' relationships while the countries they traveled to provided a backdrop that's both fitting and breathtaking at the same
3.5 starsIn my experience, its a rare thing that a sequel outshines its predecessor but this was the case for The Last Little Blue Envelope, Maureen Johnsons funny and charming follow up to 13 Little Blue Envelopes.Straight up, I liked this book more than the first. Given the title, its hardly a spoiler to say that the plot revolves around that last little blue envelope entrusted to Ginny by her Aunt Peg, and the journey it causes her to embark upon. The characters, some familiar, some new,
Of course Maureen Johnson would write a follow up to 13 Little Blue Envelopes because so many of her fans wrote to her asking for it.And it is fabulous.
"I'm not a violent person," Keith said under his breath, as they climbed the steps to the second level of the bus. "But I've really been meaning to work on that."And here are the fruits of my labor. I have two major issues with this book, namely, the absurd retconning and the blatant character flanderization.First: Retcon. For those who don't waste more time than I would like to admit on TV Tropes (I'm speaking to everyone except Cecy), a retcon is RETroactive CONtinuity--the author waving their
So the last, stolen, blue envelope makes an appearance and Ginny is off on adventures again. Lovely. Perfect really, with the hostel full of cats.
*3.5 stars*Truth is, I dont really have that much to say about this book. Was it good? Yeah! But was it amazing? Out-of-the-roof wonderful? Erm, I wouldnt say that. The plot was fast, yes, and in this book, unlike the first one, the characters definitely were more developed, so in that regard it was great. Obviously, since the last envelope never got revealed in the first book, I was definitely wanting to find out whats in it. Andall right, Ill admit it, this book was kind of missing that
