“[In Gap Year Girl,] Bohr steps outside of her comfort zone and explores the world… and she vividly conveys her experiences, such as the chaotic streets of Morocco and the loneliness of the bucolic French village Saint-Cirq-Lapopie.”

— Publishers Weekly

“Bohr shines… provid[ing] glimpses of herself as a whole person, not simply a traveler. Gap Year Girl is an excellent choice… a travelogue filled with historic places, but its personal stories provide its highlights.”

— Kirkus Reviews

“Marianne Bohr has that rare knack of bringing the kaleidoscope of experience alive with a few well-crafted words; she seduces her reader away from black and white text into a reality where all the senses are teased.”

— Kev Reynolds, Bestselling Author of The Tour of Mont Blanc
